Fairy Tale Fantasies

FOR the past couple of days I have been racking my brain trying to "creatively" come up with something to write in my blog for childrens lit. Suprisingly!...I had nothing..and still had nothing until about 12 seconds ago, when my hopeless romantic self had to peek out and say hello.

Reading fairy tales like "Snow White," "Cinderella" and all the other classics with perfect princesses in them, I was suprised to find this subject not brought up as much as I thought. Like any young girl first learning about Bell and the "fairest one in all the land," I formed a version of my very own happily ever after that has stayed with me to this day. It goes something like this...
Once upon a time, there was a good little girl named Emily. She grew up knowing that one day her prince charming would wisk her away with his natural charm and good looks. Never thinking twice, she will accept him and their first kiss will be magical. From that moment on, their life together will be nothing short of bliss and romantic walks.

Well..I guess you figured where I got that idea from?! The moment I read my first happily ever after, I have kept hoping one day he'll come for me. (Which is not looking like any time soon by the way) =) But as much as I know that this imaginary man won't ever be perfect, I personally enjoy with all my heart the excitement of imagining it! Girls are you with me?! My point being, is that we all know that those fairy tale Knights in Shining Armor aren't really REAL, they can be inside my head and that's all I need to keep my hope until the day I really do find my handsome Prince.
