That was actually pointed out to me shortly after I posted... and I was like "oh...oops." I didn't think to look in the cosplay thread.
But yeah, I specifically wanted to discuss the fairy tale aspect of it, and relating personally to the photos....or to the fairy tale characters portrayed in the photos.
As much as I loved the Disney versions when I was little (hell, I'll still watch Sleeping Beauty at the drop of a hat), I remember getting frustrated with them pretty early on. "Why does the princess always need to be SAVED?" I remember asking my mom. "Can't she just...learn to use a sword or something?" (I'm fairly certain I was an excellent source of entertainment for my parents when I was growing up, for the record.)
