Early-ish blog about heiress/princess planning her escape?

I've been trying to remember or track down a reference to a blog from the 2000-2010 time frame. It was written from the perspective of a young lady from a well-off but controlling family who was planning an escape attempt. Can you help me scratch this brain itch?
It was a pretty standard-looking blog of the day: minimalistic, mostly text, perhaps occasionally one large picture but nothing identifiable. I think the pictures were from a disposable camera or a scan of a polaroid. It wasn't on tumblr or livejournal, but could have been on any of the wordpress/blogger/blogspot sort of platforms. The family was implied to be very powerful in their region - aristocracy, royalty, etc. My best guess of the time frame I was reading it would have been 2002-2008ish.
It might have been mentioned on Metafilter some months or years later as something that was possibly/probably fictional. Searches here, on google, and on my other haunts of that era (kottke, jezebel, lifehacker, slashdot) haven't pulled anything up. This has been nagging me for a week now and I'd love to find out if there was ever a revelation or resolution. Thanks in advance!

Response by poster: That's it! Now that you've put a name to it, I've found it mentioned in a Metafilter comment in 2006 (where I first saw it referred to as fictional) and in an Esquire article from 2007, if that helps you track down where you heard of it. Thanks so much, CiaoMela!
