The Life Of A Disney Princess

Disney Princesses, Deconstructed: From Snow White to Belle, if you're hot a man will save you. I feel for all the parents who shepherded little princesses around last night. I just trailed around a pirate. Not a Somali pirate, but still.

Snow White & The Depressing Reality

Photographer Dina Goldstein's series Fallen Princesses looks at fairy tale princesses and their harshly realistic modern day lifestyles. Seems not everybody ends happily ever after.


I love the Cinderella photo for the Labbats Blue sign in the corner, which told me Goldstein must be Canadian. Sure enough, she's from Vancouver. Wow, Cinderella goes from being the belle of the ball to a Vancouver dive bar. Harsh. (Link via The Daily What)
