Millionaire Match Maker. Patti Stanger. Bravo, New York. Television. 

Millionaire Match Maker is a reality show that helps all of the "Cinderellas" out there find their Prince. Patti Stanger acts the "Fairy god Mother" by making over everyday women to be more suitable for Millionaire men looking for love. Like the story Cinderella, this show teaches young ladies to desire love and to have a dependency for a man. Like Cinderella, the women on this show are looking for love and their desire is a man with a lot of money. Patti helps them achieve this goal, sometimes by totally making them change their appearance to what the Millionaire would be attracted to. This is exactly what Cinderella's fairy god mother did. Without her transformation and her fairy god mother, the prince probably would have never noticed her. This is the same case for the women on Millionaire Match Maker.

 Climo, Shirley. The Egyptian Cinderella. New York: Harper Collins Children's Books, 1989. Print. 

One of the very first stories ever told of Cinderella was all the way back in sixth century Egypt. Her name was Rhodopis and she was from Greece but was sold into slavery because she was an orphan. She was treated bad by the other servants girls because she looked different. She felt sad and alone. Her owner liked her so he gave her a pair of golden slipper to wear, and this made the other servants jealous. Rhodopis wanted love and someone to care for her. She heard that Pharaoh was having all from kingdom to come and celebrate with him and she wanted to attend but the other servant girl made her do extra chores so that she couldn't go. In this story, instead of a fairy god mother, there was a falcon that helped Cinderella meet her fate by stealing one of her slippers and dropping it in the Pharaoh's lap. Pharaoh took this as a sign and searched for Rhodopis to marry.
