Who didn’t idolize the Disney Princesses growing up? Their beautiful dresses, long, flowing hair, petite but feminine figures and overwhelmingly perfect lives. I mean, Belle had a talking wardrobe that picked her clothes out for her!! That is probably the most amazing thing ever.
But what happens after the wedding? What is “Happily Ever After” really like? Vancouver Photographer Dina Goldstein examines this in her darkly humorous portraits. I found these photos on Midge’s Mind and I just couldn’t resist sharing them with you all.
Aren’t these amazing? Please check out her website for more of her amazing work!
Stumble It!

The perfect winter coat and hat helps you stay warm and feel feminine.
Don't forget the perfect holiday party dress.
To avoid pesky winter-weather tumbles, switch out those heels for flat, knee-high boots.
high-waisted, girly skirts and thick, warm stockings are a go-to look this holiday season
Remember, don't overspend this holiday season. When in doubt, give the gift of love!

Oh my gosh! I thought Annie Lebowitz did an amazing job with her celebrity portrayal of Disney characters for their ‘Year of a Million Dreams’ promotion, but these blow her shots out of the water! I love them and wish I could have all of them in prints to hang up around my house haha.

Wow, these are fabulous and so funny – should I be laughing? What does that say about me? Crud, I think I know the answer to that…
Hon, I am dead serious – I am soo letting you know when I’m in town. You best take the day off…or at least a super long lunch
Always happy to make you laugh

Snow White’s my fav!

These are hilarious. Probably so true. I think so many people have an idea of a fairy tale. They are then stunned by what reality is like.

Ooh I remember seeing these a while back! I loved the Jasmine one the best for some odd reason.

so true. enough said. if you’ve ever been married… you’d understand, i’m sure. lol.
you can either choose to be Snow White, chuckin the kids around on your hip… while your hubby doesn’t do anything! or you can pump yourself up with a little female Popeye and lay down the iron fist. just b/c you’re a housewife/stay-at-home mommy, doesn’t mean you’re a doormat
p.s. Spinach is actually REALLY good for you *wink* haha

Clare! Great minds think alike because I blogged about these photos too, back in August, check it out: http://oceandreams4sierra.blogspot.com/2009/07/fallen-princesses.html
I think these photos are beautiful because life is not always a fairytale and I think women (especially teens) need to know this so they can prepare themselves and not get used or abused by people who are out there to hurt. Not saying that goodness is not there, me of all people always looks to the good, but these photos are just so realistic and I love that.
