As most 90’s kids, I spent much of my childhood watching the “OG” Disney princess movies – you know, Cinderella, Snow White, Little Mermaid – just to name a few – and they became a huge staple in my life. As a little girl, I remember wishing I was a redhead because I wanted mermaid hair like Ariel or that I had a library like Belle’s in Beauty in the Beast - I just wanted to be like them. As children, you look up to the characters you fall in love with and that’s exactly what I did with these princesses. But the problem with these movies, is that in most of them, the women are always portrayed as weak or as someone who needs a man to come in and rescue them. And I hate that. So I decided to put my own spin on the classic Disney Princess and recreate my own vision of what I think they should be like – so.. introducing “The Princess Project”.

 

Ariel just had to be the second princess in my line up. Mainly because I couldn't wait to see how amazingly well my gorgeous red-head friend, Katelyn, would pull it off but also because she's a freaking mermaid and who doesn't want to be a mermaid?! Katelyn definitely blew this one out of the water and I am obsessing over these!
