River ,'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I've pretty much avoided most of the Disney stuff since the mid-60s for one reason or another. I did see something that had a still from Snow White with a caption about that being the last time a Disney character was shaped like an actual woman (or girl) as opposed to the extreme hourglass figures they have now.
And ....
It's funny - I hate Pochahantas with the burning of a thousand suns, but don't mind the Princesses.
it's the tiaras - they get Aims every time.
It's true - I'm a shallow, shallow woman.
And also the brutal ripping apart of the true history just makes me want to smash things.
SHE WAS ONLY TEN YEARS OLD!!
I think people who don't like The Little Mermaid should watch Princess Tutu, which takes a similar idea (water creature becomes human to woo a man) and makes it way more interesting and awesome.
YES. THIS.
I didn't even notice the Little Mermaid similarity until now, especially since, besides that superficial plot point, it's the anti-LM.

I have always loved Cinderella, esp when I was a girl, but my go-to Cinderella wasn't the Disney version. I like the one where her sister cuts off her toe.
Other favorite fairy tales: Little Mermaid, The Dancing Princesses, and The Wild Swans. And Anne Sexton's One Eye, Two Eyes, Three Eyes.
I like the one where her sister cuts off her toe.
Turn back! Turn back! There's blood on the track!
I got some of Ben Stein's Money for knowing they make the wicked step mother dance in red-hot iron shoes at the wedding. How festive!
I like the one where her sister cuts off her toe.
And the other one cuts of her heel.
I really like The Snow Queen. I think about it whenever someone becomes someone I don't feel like I know anymore.
Don't forget that the birds from Cinderella's mother's grave came to her wedding, perched on her shoulders, and poked out her stepsisters' eyes as they walked beside her up the aisle and back down afterward.
Never really wanted to be a princess. Although I would have taken years off my life to do at least one Jedi Mind Trick.
