To be honest, I love my deep reds and purples in fall and winter, but at this point I'm beyond ready to bust out my corals!!! When it was frigid the other day, I wore my Betty Bright just to cheer myself up, lol.

If I remember right they also said Zahara has a role in the film, so she has two daughters in the movieI didn't know Jolie's daughter was the little girl in the trailer! She's so cute!
The original Sleeping Beauty story had no fairies good or bad. What happened to the girl was a prophesy. The old woman who had the spindle was an innocent bystander. It first appears in print in Sole, Luna, e Talia (Sun, Moon, and Talia - Talia is the princess's name) an Italian literary fairy tale written by Giambattista Basile in his 1634 work, the Pentamerone. Some time after she falls asleep, a king, hunting in nearby woods, follows his falcon into the house. He finds her, tries to wake her up, then has sex with her while she is unconscious. Then he leaves her on her bed and returns to his own city. Still deep in sleep, she gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It gets more complicated - the king is married - his wife is evil and tries to have Talia and her children killed, but ends up being killed herself, and the king marries Talia.
In 1697 Charles Perreault added an evil witch, in his Histoires ou contes du temps passé (Stories, or Fairy tales of time past). She had not been invited because people thought she was dead. She gets seated at the party, but she doesn't get a special gift because no one knew she was coming. So she curses the girl to prick her finger on a spindle when she's 15 or 16. The last fairy adds the part that she'll be awakened in 100 years by a prince. The old woman she meets as a teen is an innocent bystander. The princess sleeps 100 years, a prince hunting in the forest remembers a story his father had told him, and enters the sleeping castle, then kneels before the princess who awakens. They marry in her castle, then he takes her home. But his mother is jealous and does bad things until she is killed.
Here's the costume by Leon Bakst for the version done by the famous Ballet Russes pre-WWI.
Disney neatened it up, added the cranky fairy in the black and purple houpelande - so many of his fairy tale villains wear black and purple for some reason - and cleaned up the prince & princess meeting, and did away with the homicidal mother at the end.
Fairies don't really have pointed ears. So this indicates to me that they are actually all Vulcans
I agree !!:nanas: .........so excited!!!!!! Thank you, Erin!!!!!
Day after my birthday! Happy Birthday to me !May 15th!!!
Really?! I hadn't heard that! Awesome I wonder who she'll be playing!If I remember right they also said Zahara has a role in the film, so she has two daughters in the movie
May 15th!!!
Gotta throw Hunchback of Notre Dame on that list too...Thank you for this.I have a friend who did a college paper on the Italian origin of this fairy tale and I always found it semi-amusing how much Disney had to change the gruesome and adult nature of fairy tales to pretty them up and make them marketable for children. Some of my favorites like The Little Mermaid just did not have the happy ending, lmao, AT ALL. Or Peter Pan which was just a tragedy from the author's background to the actual story.
eta: Also your last line cracked me up! LMAO
