4. Which Disney Princesses do that?
Sat Mar 23, 2013, 01:38 PM
Mar 2013

Not saying there isn't one, but this charge is a bit silly.

In any case, I work with kids for a living. We travel every week, going from festival to fair, doing high end fantasy makeup for kids and adults. We work very hard to provide a level of service and quality that they have never seen before. The thing that I enjoy the most about my job is bringing a bit of magic into people's lives. There is nothing like it. And there is little I hate more than parents who, in a hundred different ways, seemingly do their best to stiffle this and suck the fun out of everything.

Everything doesn't have to be about politics or liberation or anything else. We are only on this planet for a short time and this is all we have. Enjoy it! LIVE! Never miss out on a chance to add a little magic and wonder into every day. Here's a couple little PRINCESSES we did last year, striking some glam poses for their parents and having FUN.
