Did you ever imagine that Mary Costa, the voice of Disney's Princess Aurora, would be so beautiful?
Today marks the DVD release of "Sleeping Beauty" and gives me an excuse to entertain the relationship between Disney princesses and fashion.
Here, for example, I'm certain that Mary is about to say "Why, yes, I see how the lines of the bodice reflect Eyvind Earle's stylized art direction, but, Marc darling, what kind of shoes is Aurora wearing?" And Marc Davis would say: "THESE."
I realize that in These Uncertain Times, it is somewhat reckless to spend $159.95 (free shipping!) on a pair of 4-inch whimsies. Don't fret: I haven't tumbled down the footwear rabbithole, yet.
But. Look at them. They suit over half-a-dozen Disney heroines: The Blue Fairy, Cinderella, Wendy Moira Angela Darling, Aurora, Alice, Belle, Princess Giselle. Despite their cartoon costume styling, I would definitely take these lovelies off their pink satin pillow more frequently than just Halloween. Yes, I daydream of these darling slippers when I scrub the palace floors.
Christmas is 77 days away. I wear a size 8.5. You fill in the gaps. Don't make me get my fairy godmother.

I too would wear these shoes. I would call myself Wendy although it would be confusing because I work with a Wendy. At least I would feel like a Disney Heroine.
In other news I happened across the BEST luck the other day at lunch. While exploring a new antique shop I found a whole stack of State Plates for $5 each. I picked out 4 that I didn't have in my collection (or thought I didn't since I had Washington all ready so I guess I should have carried my list). Anyway, when I went up to pay for Colorado, Kansas and Kentucky I found it was 1/2 price day and I landed each for $2.50! I happily galloped out of there with 4 wonderfully decorated state plates for a mere $10.20. Yeah!
Nicely done, seester! I bet that's just how Thomas Jefferson felt when he negotiated for the Louisiana Purchase, galloping included!
I love that you collect the state plates: I always keep an eye out for them.
