“I love my mother, and aunt. My one, and only dream in life is to become a screenwriter/character designer for Disney, so that in their honor, I can create the first Hispanic Disney Princess”
I love this!!!! We need a more multicultural group of Disney princesses. They are getting better but still have work to do. Take Tiana who was hailed as the first American Princess, well what about Pocahontas? She’s a princess. She’s American. Why is she not the first?
That being said, I do love Tiana and the Princess and the Frog. I think a lot of good came out of it. Especially the fact that she gave young African American girls a princess that looks like them.
However, I want to add that I think Tangled was a step in both directions. She is spunky and does represent a lot of positive characteristics for girls- artsy, likes to read, follows astrology, etc. But she is also blonde and young. I think Tangled would have been better if Rapunzel was Indian or Asian in some way. Think about it. The lantern tradition comes from Thailand, why not have the story based there?
Just a few thoughts. I love this photo so incredibly much since I, too, want to work for Disney as a character designer for new princesses. I think we need Princesses of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Let’s get away from the white, skinny-as-Barbie princesses and reflect normal women so girls don’t have skewed ideas of beauty as they age.

because it would be a disaster if women used normal, non-genderized pens!
BIC for Her~*~
Pink and Purple pens does not make me want to buy the “for her” pens…
Katey: Do they double as a vibrator or what…?
If they double as vibrators I will buy them for every woman I know.
I didn’t know that I, as a woman, am too delicate to use a normal pen…
