Workin' on those cards for y'all. :D
I'm almost done reading this book about the history of fairy tales that I got from the library. It rocks. Did you know the original prince in Sleeping Beauty was already married when he found her? And that he got her knocked up while she was, uh, asleep?
My favorite fairy tale used to always be The Twelve Dancing Princesses because it had a secret underground place with gold trees and DEMONS and stuff. I vaguely remember seeing an adaptation of it on some live-action '90s Disney show that had celebrity guest stars (wasn't Mick Jagger an emperor in one episode?).
What was or is your favorite fairy tale?
P.S. I saw Tangled!!! And freaking loved it, okay. Rapunzel's design had every reason to look generic but I dunno, a lot of subtle things made her adorable (freckles!). The environments were scenery porn of the highest calibur. Go see it if you can.

real-lifery, fairy tales
