In yet another sleepless night I found myself watching a cake decorating contest on the Food Network. This time the theme was Disney Princesses, and the contestants had to create their cake so that it would best represent one of five characters. There was Cinderella, of course, Snow White, Belle, Jasmine, and Arial. As I watched I found myself in a very philosophical and insightful debate, with myself of course, as to which character was my favorite and why?. Ultimately it came down between Princess Jasmine and Aerial, but in the end Aerial won. The reason that I decided was because I felt like Aerial was represented as the most independent of all the princesses. She is the only one that the story line does not completely revolve around being rescued by Prince Charming, because what she was really looking for was to be able to live above sea and the Prince happened into the picture. Anyone who knows me i'm sure finds this line of reasoning suits me because I have never been one who wants to sit around and wait for Mr. Right. Don't get me wrong I do occasionally find myself "wishing upon a star" for my prince to come along. To quote one of my favorite movies "Maybe prince charming will show up [again] someday. Somewhere unexpected." -Rizzo, from Grease. I mean who doesn't want their "happily ever after?"
Who is your favorite Disney Princess, take the poll.

Well, I don't know. Belle was very into books and reading and because I think she was an intelligent gal and couldn't be a trophy wife, she didn't marry Gaston. She fell in love with a beast and had no clue he was a Prince. Also Jasmine was already a princess. I'd say for "your reasons" those 2 would be my picks. I am not a big Little Mermaid fan but it has nothing to do with her relationship with a prince. :-)
