Artist Shows What Disney Princesses’ Happily-Ever-Afters Really Look Like
The one thing you could be sure about in childhood was that every fairy tale would end with a “happily ever after”. But what if we were to continue on with what happened to the beautiful princesses after we closed the last book page? Photographer Dina Goldstein imagines what lives of the Disney princesses turned out to be if we left all the fairy tale luck and charm aside. “I began to imagine Disney’s perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues,” says Dina. “With limited funds, I began to assemble my series.” The Fallen Princesses series also comes in a book!
The Moral of the story?
The expectations Disney sets for a young girl's life are misleading and horribly unrealistic.
Stop that shit already Disney!
PS.. the Princess Jasmine pic is racist!! Everyone in the Middle East isn't some gun toting Jihadist. I digress though..
