Make Belive Bullshit

Every morning/early afternoon, I have a routine I somewhat follow and like to adhere to when online...(Emails, the ocassional Twit, Facebook see whats hot on the streets via blogs etc.) So today, no different than any other I went on FB and Emeka, had a posting of a link to StreetLevel which was tittled "F***ed Up Fairy Tales-- 'Fallen Pincesses.' At first I thought it was a joke, but as I started to read the post, i realized it was an Art exibit by Vancouver photographer Dina Goldstein.


Fairy tales pretty much screwed up our adolescent minds. Our parents lied to us about unicorns and Santa Claus only for us to discover later in life that it was all a ploy to get us to sleep before "Law and Order" came on. As we got older, the concept of "happily ever after" became a far gone conclusion eclipsed by reality. Photographer Dina Goldstein examines the reality of the farce in her upcoming photo exhibit "Fallen Princesses." Placing fairy tale characters in modern day situations and putting a grim spin on the Brothers Grimm. The details of the photo exhibit (like where it will be) are still to be announced, but we can tell you that our inner children will have their fantasies shattered when the exhibit opens on October 15th.

The exhibition is crack only because those movies filled children w/ false views on how the real world is...
