Revenge of the Damsels


"At Magic Maggie’s School For The Feminine And Fictional, we wholeheartedly believe that no women’s safety should ever depend on whether or not she’s kissed a frog. A woman should never have to lock her self-worth away in a tower of co-dependence as she waits for some prince to unlock her potential. Instead, we teach our ladies to be their own heroes by giving them the skills they’ll need to face any cunning creature or horrible witch that comes their way." (via shirt.woot)

Goldilocks Is A Villain


"Three little pigs, three blind mice, three bears, three villains, three rows of fairy tale fearsomeness."

I'm convinced, Goldilocks is a villain. A great tee by SeedUvPain, but I don't think it has printed. Too bad.

Gingerbread Man Dissected

Pop artist Jason Freeny, already having ruined Gummi Bears, makes Gingerbread Men seem like the least appealing thing you'd ever want to eat. They'd be all crunchy, with a chewy, spurting centre.

Hmm, maybe they wouldn't be so bad after all. Head to Moist Production to see the full poster. (Link via Super Punch)

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)

Grandma, What Informative Graphics You Have!

SlagsmÄlsklubben - Sponsored by destiny from Tomas Nilsson on Vimeo.

The tale of Little Red Riding Hood, as told by animated infographics, breaking down the route, the makeup of the woods and the nutritional value of grandma. Brilliant stuff by graphic design student Tomas Nilsson — yep, this was just as student project. Amazing. (Link via Listicles)

But it does follow the Brothers Grimm thought that the wolf was evil and we all now that neither women nor girls are willing to play the victim these days.

My, what a big bike you have! A not-so-little Red Riding Hood, rom a series of Australian shoe advertisements (go figure), re-imagining some classic fairytale heroines, including Snow White, Rapunzel and Cinderella.

Not By The Hair Of My Stop Motion Chin


A Wolf Loves Pork is a stunning piece of stop motion animation, using photos, by Takeuchi Taijin that really has to be seen to be believed. At first I thought, yeah, I could do that. But very quickly I saw there wasn't a chance in hell I could do that. (Link via Neatorama)
