I never have company!
But on Sunday night my buds Clare and Cristina came over to eat cake listen to music and spend the night! It was way fun. The next morning we woke up at 7 o'clock to go to the happiest place on Earth (how anybody can dislike the happiest place on Earth is beyond me but I won't name any names ... well maybe just one ... JASON!) We had a great time. Our pictures on splash mountain were absolutely hilarious. The first one brought me to tears. We rode Pirates twice. The rockets at tomorrowland is my new favorite ride. We saw the new musical of Snow White. Rode all the rides in Fantasyland. Come to think of it we might've rode all the rides. It was crazy. 15 hours in that place! We were all so tired afterwards but we had a really good time. Going to Disneyland makes me feel all warm and gushy inside. Similar to my backpack when the sunscreen busted in the bottom and nearly ruined Cristina's camera WHOOPS!
I want to be a Disney princess and plan on sending a letter to the bigwigs to let them know that Aida needs to become animated soon so that little black girls can have something to relate to (THEN I CAN BE A DISNEY PRINCESS TOO!) It's interesting how Disney has never had a black or latina leading lady. It's hard to do that stuff because you don't want to offend people but it should be a priority to have young girls of color as a target audience for your films and merchandise. Shouldn't it? Mulan and Pocohantas didn't do too bad. But if you're scared that's why you have focus groups for parents and kids so that you can see what needs to be done in order to make films and merchandise suitable and not the jumping off point for anger but discussion.
For now I'm busy perfecting my princess wave for the day that I am able to audition for the role of the first black Disney princess. As Aurora would say "Princess Fingers!"
