As a young girl, would you have imagined these women to be looked upon as beautiful? Would you want to dress up like them for halloween? Would these images make you dream about being a princess and finding a prince charming?
As I came across this picture on a blogging website (TUMBLR.COM),at first, I couldn't help but laugh. I found it to be pretty funny on how someone can create something so different from an imagine that a lot of us have ingrained as children in regards to what Disney Princesses should look like.
The more I looked at this picture, I began to think of how terrible some of these Disney persona's can be. What they do is they teach little girls and well some boys, that being a Disney Princess is all about being SKINNY AND RICH. When in reality, majority of the people in this world don't live and or look that way.
Princess Jasmine up top clearly looks insecure about her weight, with a sad look on her face along with depression. Princess Belle is holding a rose but has a very serious and stern look on her face, not one of happiness. Cinderella has her leg lifted up high attempting to be sexy, but clearly the artist behind the act did not want her to be perceived as sexy. And last but not least Snow White is seen with some food on her hands.
These images are so exaggerated and make it seem as if bigger girls cant be happy, when in reality...any shape, any size, any color can be seen as happy and beautiful it is just sad that we have these ideas and perceptions of beauty ingrained in us at such a young and vulnerable age.
