Fallen Princesses

I just posted an RSS feed for Bonnie's Blog and the main reason why I did is for blog #5, though all of them bring my point to life.  Blog #5 is based off Dina Goldstein's artistry of what may have actually happened to Disney's "Fallen" Princesses.  I have listed a link to Dina Goldstein's website so you can look at samples of her pictures, such as Ariel, Belle, and Snow White.

Disney Princesses Weddings

I just posted an RSS feed from Walt Disney World and it continues to make me think.  The feed shows several pictures of wedding displays that a woman can have, so she can feel like a real life Disney princess.  But again, what happens when the marriage doesn't work out, either in real life or in Disney?  In the movies no one ever talks about the price of the big extravagant weddings so girls grow up thinking they can have the same wedding, a girl can feel like Cinderella.  But what about in real life?  What happens when the girl who has dreamt of having a wedding like Cinderella finds out no one can afford it?  If the couple finds a way to pay for the wedding, how much strain is put on them an their new life?  Should girls be taught they can be like the Disney princesses we have grown up with, or should they be shown life after the story ends?  What happened to Cinderella after the wedding?

Could this be true for Disney princesses?

Ever wonder what happens after the Disney movie is complete?

Have you ever wondered what happened to the Disney princesses after the movies are over?  I've thought about this quite a few times and I think some of the princesses may have lived happily ever after, while others made it look a little to easy.  I mean, I've heard of love at first sight, but according to Disney it happens all the time. 

In Cinderella, did her and Prince Charming live happily ever after?  Did they have kids, what happened to her step mother and sisters?  According to the story, the Prince sees Cinderella at the ball in the dress from her Fairy Godmother and instantly falls in love, then after she loses her slipper at midnight he goes looking for her and knows she's the one for him. 

How about Belle from Beauty and the Beast, did they continue to stay in the "Beast's" house?  Did the "Beast" continue to be a better man, or did he go back to his old ways?  What happened to the servants in the house, did they continue to work there or leave after so many years?  In the story, Belle and the "Beast" actually had to work for their love, they fought in the beginning and fall in love as the days go by (granted very few days).
