What if the Disney princesses didn't live happily ever after? Cue Dina Goldstein's photography project, "Fallen Princesses." As a girl who played with Barbies until she was at the (somewhat embarrassing) age of 11, and who still enjoys a good Disney movie, old or new, it's a little fascinating to me when someone admits they grew up without Disney or dolls, never having the fantasy that one day, "prince charming" would come along and whisk you away into the sunset. Most girls have that dream when they're little, right? Well, Dina Goldstein admits that she did not, and her photography project is a sober reminder that every story doesn't always have a happy ending...
This is amazing!

The Jasmine picture is my favorite. I remember a country song called Hey, Cinderella that said "I have a feeling we missed a page or two somehow" and asked "Does the shoe fit you now?". As much as I loved those stories growing up they did seem to leave a bit out (which is also why I think Enchanted is so funny now).
