Magnet #497 - CinderellaHah.
I made the mistake of commenting on FlickFilosopher's blog that Disney's Princess Protection Program, wasn't terrible, as I mentioned here. Of course, of course, I got reamed by a couple of folks who were very anti-Princess, anti-Disney, anti-Disney Princesses.
Bite. Me.
I know there's an evil empire of commercialism. I know it probably sets womanhood back a thousand years.
You know what? I don't care. I love Disney's products, their movies, and yes, even their princesses.
If that makes me mindless, soulless and stupid, I don't care.
If that makes me, a single woman in the big city trying to make it on her own, less of a woman, I don't care.
They're fiction. If you can't teach children the difference, that's on you.
Mind you...my inner princess probably wouldn't have minded a prince of my own to do my 6 loads of laundry this morning, or a BFF to bring me a pretty dress to wear today, or little birds to help me get dressed, or a horse-drawn pumpkin to get me to the post office, or a dwarf to carry my packages.
Or a fairy godmother to do all of the above.
I like the princesses, too. I have a bunch of their magnets (mostly Aurora or Ariel).
ReplyDeleteHeh. In an effort to spare a few friends, I decided to space the princess collection out, rather than do a whole week of them. So, I have Belle, Ariel, and Jasmine left. But, it's been fun to see them.
ReplyDeleteI did forget to post my favorite Cindy Fallen Princess from Dina Goldstein, though. This probably represents me more often than the movie does. Hahahah.
Thanks for posting!
