What Disney Didn't Tell Us...

Cinderella, nearly every girl's dream eh? Her story has been told in different forms for centuries as it symbolises the hope for justice and reward for each person's hardship. It is a tale spoke to us from a very young age, teaching that as long as you are kind hearted and natured along with being a truly good person, your dreams will come true. This is all well and said, but I regret to admit this, but I think we have to come to realities now that we are fast forward many a year to a new generation where a fairy godmother is not going to pop out of mid air and whisk up a 'happily ever after' for us anymore. Which leads to my inspiration for this piece. I thought, 'What would Cinderella be like and do, if she was a girl in our generation today?' So here she is. Alone at 1.30am drinking an Apple Martini as she’s been stood up. Of course through the decades since the original I had to convert the outfit by raising the skirt length a bit :P

Some may disagree but I think she connects now a lot more than her tale back in the 40's/50's, even though I do admit I have adored this film since the first time I watched it as a child. Disney's creation of her set all my hopes and expectations for my life and in love. Although she did create a lot of impossible expectations in men. For I have met a few too many 'Knights in shining armour', who have only ended up to be the village idiots in tinfoil..  Maybe I did create this version out of a little bitterness from that but I think she now hits reality.

To Bite Or Run?

Why does Snow White feel so attracted to the red apple? Red has always been a siren calling out a warning, she couldn't have been that naive? There was a full basket of green apples; even the dwarves would have been suspicious of that.

 I feel like Snow White lately, I can't resist the red apple. I’m talking metaphorically of course. They have to be the reddest in the basket or I'm just not interested. Also she had all those adoring, fair enough weird, little men running around after her doing anything she requested upon them. But once that Prince comes along, who she met for what 5 minutes, she dumps all the little fellas and whisks away on the white horse into the sunset. 

I'd love to see a part two for that, where they have ended up sleeping in separate beds as they can’t divorce or they’d have to divide up all the gold, land and castle! There is nothing wrong with settling for something that warms your heart. But if it's not completely satisfying I will have no appetite for it.  For this my punishment is ending up knocked out on the floor by that bad apple...

Yearning For You..

I have an impossible appetite..

For your touch..

Your kiss..

Your embrace..

But the catch is..

 if I have it ,which I know you would be more than glad too,

 we both know it's never enough for me.

I always end up scorched..
