At the age of 5 we are terrible little souls. I remember screaming and having a tantrum Super Nanny would cringe at because my mum refused to by me another pair of plastic shoes that had glitter and jewels on them and ripped your feet apart. I couldn’t see her point back then, I thought she was nasty and didn’t want me to wear nicer shoes than her. I now see that these Cinderella inspired plastic slippers were an embarrassment for my mother and a health risk for her five year old.
“Snow White would wear this dress” and “Eric would love this skirt” flows through the mind of a 5 year old when dressing. The glamorous, beautiful images of Disney characters really are more perfect than the celebrities that you see today. No spots or cellulite. Their husbands don’t cheat on them with Essex girls. Nor are their dresses available from Topshop. Mice and birds make their outfits.
Kirsty Gallagher, 19 from Glasgow is an online fashion blogger. She studies fashion textiles and her inspiration comes solely from Disney girls, “I think the magical world of Disney is a perfect place to take fashion inspiration from. The morals and values of Disney girls is a stark contrast to that of the celebrity world many other young women idolise. Girls falling out of night clubs in scantily clad clobber is less desirable than a Disney princess.”
So if you really had to go into the deepest core of your mind and ask yourself who you really would love to look like, I think we can all agree that Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Pocahontas would win over Cheryl Cole every time.
