Viviane Puhl works as a princess.
The 25-year-old from Lenggries transforms into fairytale characters for children's birthdays.
The program isn't just about manicure with fairy dust.
There are also lessons about royal manners.
Viviane Puhl attends children's birthdays and weddings dressed as a princess.
Her children gave her the idea.
A big Disney fan even as a child.
Lenggries
- Be a princess once in a lifetime.
Many members of the female sex are likely to harbor this dream.
Viviane Puhl from Lenggries has fulfilled it.
And not only that: depending on the order situation, the young woman regularly transforms into a king's daughter.
As a “guest princess” she attends birthday parties, weddings or other events for a fee - and seems to have hit the nerve of the times.
“It's going really well,” says Viviane Puhl happily.
She registered her trade at the beginning of October.
In the first ten days, six inquiries came in.
Because of the Corona contact bans, personal video messages to the birthday child or live chats with the favorite princess are now particularly in demand.
Soon, the 25-year-old will even be the only guest at a birthday party: Because of the pandemic, a girl is not allowed to celebrate a party with her friends as planned.
Viviane Puhl comes to consolation.
Depending on the size of the booking, the program includes a manicure with fairy dust, a lesson about royal manners, a magical handicraft lesson or a photo time with your favorite princess.
The Lenggrieserin can also be booked as a pacifier or tooth fairy.
The costs range from 65 to 235 euros.

Viviane Puhl and her husband Dirk came up with the idea for their business a few months ago.
“My daughter wanted a pink excavator,” says Viviane Puhl.
"I told her that she would get it from the pacifier fairy if she gave all her Didis to the fairy for it." No sooner said than done.
"And the idea came up how cool it would be if the pacifier fairy really came and picked up the pacifier in person." Shortly afterwards, the little one celebrated a big princess birthday party.
"And then the thought occurred to me again that it would be great to have your favorite princess as a guest."
Viviane Puhl's favorite royal daughter is called “Belle” from “Beauty and the Beast”.
Since childhood, Lenggries by choice has loved Disney films - also because her father, the cutmaster, edited many of the films and brought them to his daughter on video.
“They went up and down,” says the young woman and laughs.
Viviane Puhl is only allowed to imitate the Disney characters and is not allowed to wear any licensed costumes.
"Disney explained it to me in a very nice way that only Disney has direct contact with Elsa, Belle and Co."
Transformation takes up to an hour
It takes 45 to 60 minutes for the mother of two to become a princess on parental leave.
“Making up and putting on the wig is the most time-consuming,” reveals Viviane Puhl.
She got make-up tips from the Internet.
Because: “Actually, I'm not the type who really puts on make-up.” At first, her three-year-old daughter was amazed when her mom turned into an ice or sea princess.
"She looked at me totally puzzled and only called Elsa or Schnullerfee", says Viviane Puhl and laughs.
(Editor's note: Elsa is the name of the main character in Disney's “The Ice Queen”.) The one-year-old son of the Lenggrieserin is not fooled by clothes, wig and make-up.
"He always recognizes me."
Before her time as a professional princess, Viviane Puhl worked as a department manager at the “Persona service” company in Geretsried.
She is already looking for another princess - in case she is unable to fulfill all of her royal duties after parental leave for professional reasons.
Viviane Puhl may eventually need a young man who would go to boys' parties.
This business model would be called “Heroes as Guest”.
First, however, Viviane Puhl wants to establish the original idea with the support of her husband.
And a princess, emphasizes Viviane Puhl, also likes to come to boys' parties.
