Tucker Bryant - "Oreo" (CUPSI 2014) Disney Slimmed Down An Iconic Figure, And Here’s Why That Was A Really Awful Thing To Do. In 2012, Disney released a line of villain dolls depicting Ursula, the classically full-figured Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid as a designer, couture, size zero.

Disney Slimmed Down An Iconic Figure, And Here’s Why That Was A Really Awful Thing To Do

From one rolling midsection and tameless will to another, my sweet Ursula — I cannot imagine the sick flip of your stomach, to see your image dissected, chins shaved waist cinched, your silhouette robbed of every ounce of delicious curve. To find after two decades of existence that your evil was more worthy of preservation than the iconic body that held you, you — big lady, were the only Disney character who ever looked like me. And while you may not have had the waist-line of a princess I'll be goddamned if you didn't have the swagger of a Queen. The way you sashayed around your lair in full makeup black flamenco number cut so low in the back that your every twist and shimmy displayed the gorgeous tuck of your rolls. 1240x698-the-little-mermaid-character-image-ursula.jpg (JPEG Image, 1240 × 698 pixels) - Escalada (93%) Zigan_ursula-little-mermaid.jpg (JPEG Image, 1440 × 900 pixels) - Escalada (72.

Watch A Student Totally Nail Something About Women That I've Been Trying To Articulate For 37 Years

She says she doesn't deprive herself, but I've learned to find nuance in every movement of her fork. In every crinkle in her brow as she offers me the uneaten pieces on her plate. I've realized she only eats dinner when I suggest it. I wonder what she does when I'm not there to do so. Maybe this is why my house feels bigger each time I return; it's proportional. It was the same with his parents; as my grandmother became frail and angular her husband swelled to red round cheeks, round stomach, and I wonder if my lineage is one of women shrinking, making space for the entrance of men into their lives, not knowing how to fill it back up once they leave. I have been taught accommodation.

You learned from our father how to emit, how to produce, to roll each thought off your tongue with confidence, you used to lose your voice every other week from shouting so much. 7 Cowardly Words From A Totally Sexist Stranger Sparked This Courageous Response.
