A Fairy Tale to Soothe My Feminist Side!
by Kenya Wright
This weekend Snow White and the Huntman comes out! A movie that I have been impatiently waiting for!
This isn’t your mother’s Snow White, lying on her back in an enchanted comatose sleep and waiting for a brave prince to wake her up with a kiss.
NO!!
This is a REVOLUTION!
I know what you’re thinking. Calm down, Kenya. But I can’t!
Finally, I am going to get the Snow White that I want!
A kick-ass, sword wielding heroine that is going to seize her throne from the queen!
First I should explain my hysteria.
Like most girls, I grew up on Disney, devouring every princess movie known to man.
However, Snow White is one of those movies I’ve always hated for SIX reasons.
ONE: The whole idea of only ONE female could be the fairest of them all, always left a bad taste in my mouth.
TWO: Snow does everything but defend herself! I mean for god sake she has the power to communicate with animals! Surely that power could have assisted in some way.
Nope! This ditzy broad just twirls and sings to her forest friends.
THREE: When she is finally able to escape due to a man, she meets the dwarfs.
And what a bunch of great guys they are. She’s allowed to stay with them as long as she cooks their food and cleans up after them.
FOUR: She eats the freaking apple! WTF! At ten years old, I knew that was a bad idea.
FIVE: Let’s not forget that the necrophilia prince pretty much assaults her with a kiss while she’s sleeping.
SIX: Additionally, I always felt bad for the Queen too. The queen was just a product of an extreme patriarch society!
Okay... Okay..... Okay.....
perhaps I’ve taken my hatred to far!
Nonetheless, I am so hyped to see Snow White and the Huntsman!!
Thor is in it!
The Queen is wicked and psycho! Yes!
So to celebrate my hysteria, Alicia Brewster and I are giving away two movie tickets for Snow White and the Huntsman to one lucky winner. All you have to do is enter the rafflecopter below!

Necrophilia prince, hee hee.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see Thor! That photo of the queen doused in milk(?) is way cool too.
Yep! The queen is covered in milk! lol!
DeleteLove it!
I am definitely looking forward to seeing the evil queen to see just how wicked she is!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen just in fact may be my TOP reason for going! lol!
DeleteI am prepossessing and ripping today to make my own evil queen dress s oI can go in drag to the show ahahahahaha *GRIN* SO EXCITED TOO! I was going to be dropped off by myself because the ManBeast said it was TO EXPENSIVE and he had no desire to see it.. if I win, I will get to torture him with an actress he hates due to her affiliation with a certainly sparkling problem but I KNOW HE WOULD LIKE THE EPICNESS..
ReplyDeleteIn other words ALL of them but I want to see the queen FIRST and Thor second!
DeleteWOW! YOU'RE DRESSING UP! I WANT TO DRESS UP! I wish you were in miami! I'd freaking go with you! Instead, I shall drag my hubby!
DeleteI love the Queen! Specially the way Charlize protrays her... Charlize brings her own interpretation to the character and gives her a certain flavour... gives her that beautiful evil look, the Charlize way! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not really sure whether that movie ticket really applies to me but I'm gonna give it a go anyway just in case the tickets usable in my locale. Thank you for the chance to win!!

Don't worry! If you win we'll figure it out!
DeleteFor me, its a mix between the evil queen and thor! so excited to see this! This looks awesome! Thank you for the giveaway! You rock!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I have my doubts about how well Bella--I mean Kristen Stewart--can play a kick-ass role like this appears to be. I think I'm just being prejudiced, since Bella is so NOT kick-ass. But I hope she pulls it off. Super excited!
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I agree.... this role will really show the world that either Kristen Stewart can act OR the teen angst was all her own personality for Belle.
DeleteThank you for such a fantastic giveaway, in connection with a film that i am so excited to see!! I would have to say that i am most excited to see Thor in the film, although to see aka Bella Swan from 'Twilight' in this will certainly be interesting & different. Thank you & i continue to follow your amazing blog with interest! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucinda for entering!
DeleteI have mixed feeling about the movie but do want to see it. My confession -- I never liked the Snow White tale even as girl-she always seemed like such a wuss...lol
ReplyDeleteShe was a major wuss!
DeleteSnow, I wanna see Kristin kick some butt!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for this Giveaway! This movie is going to be epic - I'm already loving the soundtrack! The Huntsman is definitely my favorite part of the movie, I can't wait to see if there will be romance between him and Snow. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually wondering that myself. Although there is a prince in the mix. Perhaps, it will be a love triange, briming.
DeleteHAHA!! That's a big oll duh as to who I'm excited to see.
ReplyDeleteTHOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus, I freaking LOVE the HUNTSMAN!! I love ANY Huntsman!!
ZOMG!! YAYS!! I can't freaking wait!!!
P.S. The ALicia Brewster Twitter thing isn't working. (well for me)

Great giveaway! I'm looking forward to watching this movie. It's hard to choose one character I'm the most interested in seeing. I suppose it is the Snow White character. I hope she is tough and determined.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I am very much looking forward to seeing the evil queen. I love sexy, scary villains. :)
I have always loved this book and movie. Although the Disney movie was not anything like this one, for sure!!

Wow! I have to check out the book immediatly!
DeleteThanks for the giveaway. I love the evil queen and always root for the villian so I can't wait to see her!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! I love the villans too!
DeleteAll I can do is just close my eyes and sway to the truth of this post. Disney did such a disservice by perpetuating these useless ideas that people already have. *whispers* I loved (and still do) The Little Mermaid as a child though and it brings back so many fun memories.
ReplyDeleteI definitely can't wait to see this one. It's a badass version that looks so cool. Theron looks uhm, ravishing in this role...LOL
I'm excited too! Thanks so much for coming on and entering the giveaway!
DeleteIm definitely excited to see snow white and the Huntsman! Lol I love Kristen Stewart!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see Miss. Stewart of course! Can't wait! I hope I win :)
