Jenny just got engaged and she's very very excited although her fiancee doesn't seem to want to help plan the wedding or talk to her. But when a Prince on a unicorn offers Jenny some sexy solace, maybe things will work out ok? I Wanttt a Unicorn Frappe!!! is a frothy satire about wedding culture, addiction, societal pressure on women, and just how far we will go to avoid the truth.
