Fairytale Fashion Circa 2009

Oooh! Let´s engage in a little day dreaming and imagine what would happen if the heroines of our favorite Disney movies were young ladies, gadding about the city circa 2009!

Ariel

Things between Prince Eric and Ariel rapidly head south when he callously suggests a seafood buffet for their wedding. The nerve! Ariel is crushed that she can´t run home to her sisters, but finds sollace in UCLA's oceanography program. Her classmates are awed by her fantastic swimming abilities. That and the fact that she insists on combing her hair with a fork.

Belle
After a few years of pottering around the castle and constantly brushing Beasty Boy's hair, Belle runs out of gowns to wear and songs to sing. She remembers fondly her days of bookwormery and announces to her mister that it's high time she went back to school. In September, she joyfully begins her Master of Library Science. Mrs. Potts returns to her teapot state to accompany Belle to grad school and sees her through many cups of Earl Gray and revisions of her thesis.

Jasmine

After becoming queen of Generic Middle Eastern Country, Jasmine spends a few months relishing her new new role as a tabloid fodder royal ("They're like us! They eat fallafel! They chastise their pet monkey for throwing poo!"). However, she quickly realizes that her previous life of singing on carpets and battling evil sorcerers has not prepared her to rule a country. So onwards and upwards: a BA in Public Policy with a minor in music. One can't completely abandon singing on flying carpets.

Who were your favorite fairytale heroines? And what would they be like these days?
