Fairy Tale Obsession

For the fairy tale obsessed.

So, this shot (featuring whichgoose's [etsy] bridal lace headpiece) pretty much just looks a whole lot like Sleeping Beauty and her prince. Am I right?

Amanda Carroll One of my very favorite versions, as you well know. ;D Hey, check out that newest pin of mine--for some reason it wouldn't let me tag you; ever want to be the first (or third, or twentieth maybe, rather than thousandth) person to re-tell a genuine fairy tale?

Amanda Carroll I love how very dark the queen is in this version. No children's telling, that's for sure.

I know nothing about the woman in this old photograph; but isn't she lovely?

Heidi Robbins I thought this woman looked more modern than vintage, so I googled the word in the bottom right corner 'retroatelier' and discovered that this really is a modern photograph done in a vintage style! The company has a whole series of models whom they photograph in different era styles.

Amanda Carroll Very cool! Thank you, Heidi! I was disappointed that the direct link from the pin didn't give more information, so it is wonderful of you to share! :D I was thinking that it was a pretty phenomenally clear digital scan... ;D

Love the textures. (@Julianna Young - this is what would happen if you just kept making those flowers bigger, and bigger, and bigger... Am I right?)

Sarah Anderson Glynis Johns...you know from The Court Jester and Mary Poppins. I think the name of this movie is Miranda??? There was another mermaid movie that was made about the same time calledMr. Peabody and the Mermaid...but I think that's a different one....maybe I should go check imdb.com...

Amanda Carroll Ah, thanks! I KNEW I was picturing her in Robin Hood-esque attire. Have you ever seen either of these movies? I didn't know they even existed...

Loved the hair stylings in this version.

I love the elegance of her face and expression, surrounded by the semi-wildness of her hair.

I have to admit that what I like best about this shot are the cobwebs and leafy refuse in her hair...

Amy Limón It kind of reminds me of Kingdom Hearts. Don't know if you ever played that....

Profile picture of Amanda Carroll

Amanda Carroll I never did play it, but I know what it is--I can definitely see why!

@Sarah Anderson ~ Thought you'd get a kick out of this. :D

Amanda Carroll Nice. But as any self-respecting ne'er-do-well, he really ought to have a large weapon. A ray gun. Or a huge knife, at the very least. ;D

Katy Perry as Snow White for GHD. It had to be done. Though, it must be said she looks much more "Wicked Queen"...

Raquel Torres ~ Not really sure, but I love the laughter in her eyes.
