Here are the rest of the photos. Jasmine looks kinda cool, in an unrealistic, superhero kind of way.

The thing that really gets me about Disney is that they appropriate old stories like Snow White or Pinnocchio or the Little Mermaid, strip the guts out of them to make them "family friendly" then have the nerve to present them to the public as their own creations. I wonder how many people there are who think that Bambi, Winnie the Pooh and Cinderella are Disney characters, not appropriated from pre-existing sources?

Yet, on further inspection, these images convey a powerful message about the complexities of modern womanhood, as the princesses struggle with the blights of 21st century living: they battle their appearances, domestic inequality, and the ravages of war. More than just a critique of cartoons, Goldstein demonstrates the disparity of women’s expectations and experiences in a way that is both accessible and striking.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A1481EB7-55F1-4A51-B3E3-F93D49AF43D2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
