Looks good.

I mistook Sleeping Beauty for Rapunzel. My daughter very quickly corrected me.

WOW! Er, I mean, they all look very...healthy! And empowered!

I note with approval that they've solved the age old 'chafing' problem. It seems as though stockings do the job nicely...I'm not sure about the chestal region...I feel more research is in order!

I agree with a lot of what you said PDR. This line caught my attention. Is the use of the services of a prostitute, where such services are legal, sexist? Please discuss.

Of course it is. Sexuality is inherently interesting to most male and many female readers.

And '50 shades of grey' featured the flattest one dimensional characters going round, pure fantasy drivel, yet a BIG hit with the ladies.

That novel completely undermines most everything espoused by the Modern Woman. I can't believe so many women sincerely like it.

There's a certain power in voluntarily giving up power. Particularly when you can stop it at any time. Or something.
