These are great photos by Dina Goldstein. It shows what may have happened to those fairy tale princesses that Disney made famous.The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.
As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm's stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.
