Kate Middleton Memorabilia: Modern Lady

In this capitalistic age, little girls with dreams of marrying a prince have more to worry about than just finding the right frog to kiss. With England's Kate Middleton as the test case, infoMania's "Modern Lady" correspondent Erin Gibson shows that the true dark side of the princess fantasy is merchandising. Prince William's betrothed has already had her pretty face slapped on everything from ashtrays to condoms. Even a frog could justifiably call some of these memorabilia hounds "slimy."

For good reason, no woman has ever had the balls, moxie or delusion to claim the title of "the world's premiere basic cable expert on lady stuff."

Until now.

Meet Erin Gibson. She's freakishly tall, sort of smart, and willing to do just about anything to get a bemused chuckle.

Her segment, Modern Lady, on infoMania, is dedicated to reporting and commenting on what's happening on Planet Lady.*

*The asterisk next to "Planet Lady" is actually a typo.
