    Yesterday my beautiful, smart, funny, and healthy 5-year-old daughter told me she wasn't pretty. When I asked her why not, she said it was because she didn't look like a princess. That's it. No more princess shit in my house if I can help it.

    I always felt the story of the Little Mermaid was so sad. It was my favorite movie but Ariel had a lot of issues. There was a lot of self loathing in that little girl. Why couldn't she find a good merman, why did she think everything would be better on land, that they would understand and not reprimand thier daughters? It's because she wasn't loving herself in all her.

    @zsazsa6: Mom Snowman HATED that movie. While she never forbid me to watch it, because to be quite on honest is was my most favorite movie when was a kid (next to all the Godzilla movies), I remember a lot of lectures that started with, "Okay sweetie, don't ever give up your entire life just to be with a guy." My best friend and I watched it a few years ago and we were actually stunned at how messed up Ariel is. I mean, she's only 16 and she's already giving up everything to get with some dude. Also, Ursula calls her a tramp at one point.

    While I never had a Princess magazine cover up on my wall, I did write a magazine in first grade called "Massage Magazine." It was about how to give massages. It was one page long and basically said "don't rub someone's actual spine while giving a massage."


    Uhhh, take that, princess magazines! Ummm...

    Um, aren't we taking this a little seriously? If we take it in an ironic way, I found it kind of funny.


    But then, I'm the kind of girl who has an "ironic" pair of Pokemon pyjamas.

    At least they're keeping with the magazine tradition of only putting skinny, rich, white women on the cover.

    If those magazines were an Onion spoof or something, it might almost be satire. As it is, the fact that they're REAL? *shudders*

    I don't get it. Who was even the intended audience here? Six-year-old girls don't go looking for badly done satire of ladymag covers when they go to Target with Mom to pick out stuff to hang up in their rooms.

    All hope is not lost. They could do some hard-hitting exposes:



    Breaking: Princess Style has uncovered exclusive photographs which seem to suggest that Sleeping Beauty died old, alone, & comatose. In other words, Prince Charming's not coming for you either, so try to get a life, mmmkay?

    The posters my mom put in my room as a kid were this one:


    [www.donnellycolt.com]


    and another reading "Uppity Women Unite!" with a bunch of fists on it.


    That is why I grew up to ROCK.
