Which is the Most Feminist Disney Princess of All Time?

There’s a reason that Disney Princesses are looked at as The Perfect Women.

By lots of people.  Little girls want to grow up to be princesses.  Young women cosplay as sexy Disney Princesses.  Men want to be the hero that rescues the princess.

Yes, there’s a lot of desire from all aspects when it comes to who is, who wants to be, and who wants to be with a Disney Princess.

Top 10 Happiest Places to Work

Web Watch has said it before and we’ll say it again: if you’re not happy at work, then you need to find a new opportunity.

Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule.

If you know that what you’re doing now is merely temporary, then no need to rock the boat and jump ship before you’re ready to do so. And there are different ways to measure happiness – sometimes the job you’re doing now may not be making you happy per se, but it allows you to do other things that do.  Like that overnight shift may not be ideal, but it frees up your daytime hours to spend time with the kids or attend school to be able to advance to the next career choice.

It’s been said that more photos are taken at the Disney Parks (Walt Disney World, Disneyland, etc) than anywhere else in the world.  That Sleeping Beauty Castle or Cinderella Castle is the most photographed landmark anywhere.

Facebook users love Disneyland

It’s no secret that there are Disney fanatics everywhere.

Especially if you’re on Facebook.  Reminds us of an old joke: “how can you tell if someone loves Disney? — don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”

Issues with Disney’s new GAC disability pass program

By now, you’ve likely heard about the alleged scam being run by some enterprising business-oriented folks who would use their disability to a tourist advantage by renting out their services — and ability to go straight to the front of the line — as a Disney tour guide to rich families.

It’s been a long common “trick”, where anyone with a wheelchair could go to the handicap entrance and board a ride at a Disney park immediately.  But due to those aforementioned business transactions, because of the actions of a few Disney had to make dramatic changes to their policies and procedures.

The Top 100 Global Brands for 2013

Building a global brand is the ultimate goal of any major business.

It’s one thing to be successful on a local or hyperlocal level.  It’s quite another feat to take that same local presence and expand that to a larger stage.  Many have succeeded, but even more have failed at doing so.

What if Disney Princesses were Real?

This holiday season, little girls all around the world were presented with pink gift boxes filled with costumes and plastic jewelry all designed to fulfill their every wish and dream to be a Princess.

And it’s reinforced with various “Princess” clothing, “Daddy’s little princess” bumper stickers, and more.  Raising a girl to be self-confident in herself is one thing; to raise her to believe that being a princess is the end-all goal is another, which is why some people tend to take a negative view of the continual Princess merchandising deluge found in toy aisles everywhere.

Even so, there have been many variations on the classic Disney Princess stereotype over the years, whether it be COSPLAY, PHOTOGRAPHY, or FICTIONALIZED CONTINUATIONS of the classic stories, such as the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by author Anne Rice.

But with all the gender-endoctrination of princess-dom, there can be one way to make the life of a Disney Princess not seem as glamorous as it could be:
