the story needs some mending and a better happy ending


there is a project by dina goldstein titled fallen princesses that i have recently fallen in love with. it was a little depressing, but also genius. what she did was "imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around [her], such as illness, addiction and self-image issues."

belle... tired of being "the smart one"

jasmine... the stereotypical arab

sleeping beauty (who never woke up) ans prince charming in a retirement home.

rapunzel... hairless

snow white... unhappy housewife

cinderella's not so happily ever after
