I'm back
FGs!
One of my fave guilty-pleasure shows is
Sex & the City. On one of the episodes, Charlotte says the thing that no woman wants to admit: every girl is waiting to be rescued. Secretly (or not-so-secretly) we are waiting for Prince Charming to sweep us off our feet - the ultimate happy ending. I started to wonder, is this true? Is that the only way our fairytales end?
I'll admit it, I was obsessed with them when I was little. I knew every Disney princess movie by heart. But if you think about it, the girl is always the star, but the happily ever after
always depends on the prince. If it weren't for him, Cinderella would still be sweeping, Snow White would still be poisoned, and Sleeping Beauty would still be... sleeping. I suppose
Beauty & the Beast would be the one excepti
on. We love this stories so much, but what is that saying? Girls are helpless. It's the chick's job to be sweet and pretty while the boys get to play hero.
Wouldn't it be great to see it the other way, with the princess sweeping the prince of his feet in the end? It's a thought. I'm still going to dream about my happily ever after. But maybe my modern fairytale will end a little differently. Because seriously, we
Fab Gals are not damsels-in-distress, thankyouverymuch. Prince Charming will just have to deal.
