The Dark Side of Disney… Dead Princess Gore

With two daughters, I am very aware of how insidious the Disney Princesses are. Especially for children of color, since the archetypes Disney shows my kids are indistinguishable โ€“ with the exception of hair color. On a deeper level, pushing princesses on our children upholds gender inequity (because itโ€™s hard to focus on your mind when you are so focused on your hip to waist ratio), and financial inequity, because it shows monarchy โ€“ and by extension the 1% โ€“ as a benign, natural and desired status in human society. Since I vehemently do not believe in any of those things, and I am morbid to say the least, I love what makeup artist Mykie from Glam and Gore has done with her โ€œDark Side of Disneyโ€ series. Using her exceptional gore and horror makeup skills, she has recreated iconic Disney Princesses in their darkest momentsโ€“ Snow White after eating the poisoned apple, the Little Mermaid after being hooked, Rapunzel after strangling herself with her own hair. I even threw in a couple more I thought were rad โ€“ the melting Wicked Witch of the West and real-life Barbie after botched surgery. If you share my morbid curiosities and/or my deep-seated hatred of Disney, enjoy Mykieโ€™s creations belowโ€ฆ
