    Skinny jeans look good with boots

    Which is probably why I'll never have boots

    (no skinny jeans on my fat butt plz)

    Jasmine is half naked, 15, and seduces the Vizier to give Alladin a chance to get away. Who knows how old Jafar is supposed to be. Ariel is 16 and we see her pretty naked when she gets her legs. Jane gets all felt up by Tarzan. Jessica Rabbit merchandise is easily available and she's got tits for days. I'm not really bothered by any of this.

    Merida's hair also doesn't look smoother. It is called '2d'. While the artwork is bad and the sparkles are stupid the redesign is nice, I think. The whole point of the princess line is that it is more glamorous and extravagant than real life, hence the dresses. Girls want fantasy play so Disney delivers. If girls can buy a bow and arrow set for their doll and if supplementary media featuring Merida casts her in a good light (wanting to be adventurous and independent), then I can't complain. If the Disney princesses are unpalatable then the Disney Fairies are a better option, I've seen some fairies media and it is a lot less regressive and the characters have varied personalities.

    I don't think the idea of redesigning them is bad, really. Art styles and design trends change over time, the Morton Salt Girl has been updated several times. I just think these particular redesigns aren't up to par. But mostly, the artwork isn't that great. Perhaps the designs could look nicer with a different artist, it is kind of hard to look past. Personally, I would like to see Aurora in a blue dress, and Cinderella in her white dress, but that isn't going to change.

    Also: stylized 2d depictions require exaggeration. Waists typically get whittled down and eyes get larger. The picture wont look right if you dont do this.

    Robin Hood and Lady and the Tramp were my favourites when I was little

    Robin Hood was my first crush, pretty much

    I can't ever forget the ages of the princesses when I see them all sexualized, especially Snow White. She's the youngest!

    Given the success of the Disney Princess line I'm surprised we haven't seen more imitators from other brands. Wouldn't that be nice? Different themes, less regressive etc. I think Monster High is the closest right now, I dig the designs personally, even though their shins kind of creep me out.

    Alternately we could bring Barbie's old character. Anyone ever read vintage Barbie stories? She was really cool. Stories about her raising dogs for the blind and rescuing dolphins and stuff.

    Actually let me tell you about some of these Barbie books:

    "Loss and grief are natural parts of life, Kelly"

    4e18d7d119de7_92785n.jpg

    "The disabled are able to offer us great insight and companionship, don't be such an ableist dick, Skipper."

    I've read some of the newer Barbie books and the themes they explore are so much more shallow.

    The new Barbie youtube series is cute and she's still enjoyable, just in a more ditsy manner. Older Barbie was the one thing between her friends/family and utter ruin, Kelly was abhorrent. I don't remember why exactly, I just know I hated Kelly once I started reading the books.

    In the Barbie books everyone was orphans or something being raised by the eldest sister, maybe that is why I disliked Kelly so much. Skipper could function without Barbie, maybe, Kelly was just holding Barbie back.

    @Tam:: sorry i didn't answer you last night! I got home from work/shopping and I passed out almost immediately! I pronounce my middle name "abby-gail" when talking in English, but my Hebrew name is just the Hebrew-ized version of my english name, so that's "Avi-gahl".

    New Zealand.

    So basically i'd need a treasure chest for the blanket.

    I should point some friends your way and be like "hey you looking for wedding present ideas? that blanket. yes. that one. "

    but that would be overly self serving of me, I believe.

    I finished up my hat that I was making for myself the other day.

    it's the lovely tan alpaca that I've been hanging onto that mom sent me.

    now i just gotta weave in the ends and i've got my winter hat! yay!

    or one of them at least, i'm sure I'll start making myself more as the winter rolls along.

    I say this with... ugh, nine years of experience and a roller coaster of how many I smoked going from once or twice on the weekend to a pack and a half a day:

    tobacco is fucking terrible and no one should use it

    I get married in twenty days and I'll have been tobacco free for one year in twenty six days.

    COULD USE A SMOKE, NOT GONNA LIE
