This site logs the experiences of one parent and my quest to reclaim my daughter's imagination after it was hijacked by Disney Princesses.

I began this blog in April 2010. It was meant to be a 90 day run at recovery. From Disney Princesses.
It's been over 4 years since I first googled "Why the hale are Disney Princesses everywhere?" I found a lot of advertisements for Disney World. And a definition of hale (strong and healthy).
I started writing here and found all sorts of people were asking the same question. Minus hale.
My kid is over the Disney Princesses, but I am into all the stuff I've learned while taking notes and exploring. Now I post whatever catches my mind about: marketing to children, girls, and occasionally squirrels.
Putting aside the fact that miley cyrus has no right to exist, let alone be on tv, I'm always a little surprised to find that saturday night live is still running, and I think to myself "hey, it was funny 15 years ago, maybe it's come full circle and is funny again." And then someone links me to something like this. Something cringe-inducingly, painfully unfunny, and the small part of me deep down inside that dared to believe dies forever.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was hilarious. Thank you for the link :)
ReplyDeleteSo spot on! Especially the "loudness" bit. I have a little brother that watches far too much Disney channel and half the time I leave with a headache after visiting. My mom bought him tickets to the Selena Gomez concert this fall for his birthday and guess who gets to help chaperone? Am I hypocrite for being a little excited? Probably. As much as I generally despise the Disney channel, she's his first celebrity crush and it seems innocent enough, and he's definitely innocent enough, that it's kind of cute. At least he was never into Miley. No amount of sister loyalty could have dragged me to one of her concerts.
