something secret

More Disney Remix! Artist Isaiah Stephens  re-imagined some of our favourite Disney princesses as ass kicking female superheroes. There's nothing I love more than Disney fan-art so this completely made my day. Above is Mulan as Xena, Warrior Princess (grew up on that show!) and after the jump, you can check out what he did with Princesses Aurora, Snow White, Ariel and Rapunzel. (Hint, Game of Thrones is involved!)  I absolutely adore Disney and I grew up with these princess, but obviously, as a feminist, I recognize how problematic so many of their stories are. I always love seeing them re-imagined as strong, willful women with more autonomy and drive. It's refreshing to be reminded that being a princess doesn't have to mean that you're helpless. Let me know which one is your favourite in the comments below! Continue Reading My Brilliance! >>>

There's almost nothing I like more than a good Disney remix , so naturally I swooned when I saw these. This time around, the lovely princess swap digs with their man friends, making for some really cute menswear approximate looks. My favourite ones so far are Tiana as Naveen (above), Belle as the Beast , Jane as Tarzaan , and Megara as Hercules . They're really great illustrations and a lot of fun. Artist Haruki Godo does a really great job of bringing a more original concept to the Disney fan art genre. Check out the rest of the series on his Deviant Art page.

An American mouse in Paris! I LOVE this darling little film. A collaboration between Disney and Barney's NY, the film is (I think?) a dream sequence that the iconic Minnie Mouse has as she admires a Lavin dress in a shop window. It's impossibly darling, and features Disney characters we know and love going through their paces before their big runway debut. There are even a few familiar fashion faces! How many can you spot?

Over on pinterest today I discovered these awesome illustrations by Claire Hummel of the princesses with historically accurate costumes. Most of Disney's versions weren't that far off! Me, I just think these illustrations are gorgeous. Pocahontas above jump might be my favourite, but check out Tiana, Mulan, Ariel, Belle and others after the jump! Continue Reading My Brilliance! >>>
