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.
I saw that! I can't imagine why anyone would have criticism of this - OK, except for the same criticism that I would have if it was a little girl in the picture - make up for kids?! But, really, who cares if a boy wants to play dress up? It's normal! There are so many real things to worry about in life, it is hard to believe people are spending their energy on this!
ReplyDeletei think the real issue is that despite us thinking otherwise, our country is still homophobic. this makes me very sad for our children.
