Top 36 Reasons Why Aurora Is Better Than Any Other Disney Princess
by: Steve C. Liu

Why 36? This was written in 1995, Sleeping Beauty's 36th anniversary year.
Some of these items were r.a.d. in-jokes.

  1. Has not just one, but three fairies looking out for her
  2. Had neat codename, "Briar Rose", that worked for sixteen years
  3. Knows the danger of skin cancer, wore a shawl in the sun
  4. She's so great, it's forbidden to use her real name on merchandise
  5. The birds stop singing to hear her
  6. It's always spring when she's around
  7. No lipstick, her lips are naturally that red
  8. There is no number twenty-nine
  9. Had proper manners for a young lady
  10. Looks good in both pink and blue
  11. Had great birthday surprises
  12. Only princess who actually wore a royal crown
  13. Has insane fans willing to kidnap Eisner for her
  14. Who else had hundreds of people come just to pay homage to her?
  15. You just melt when she flashes that smile at you, *sigh*...
  16. Is caused by particles trapped in the magnetic field... Sorry, wrong aurora...
  17. Who else had her score written before the movie was made?
  18. Can fool you into thinking someone else sings for her (Right, Ed?)
  19. Didn't need to wear revealing "dresses" to get a man interested
  20. Maleficient doesn't even try to pretend to be good... Sorry, that's a top ten reason why Sleeping Beauty is the greatest Disney movie ever...
  21. Had those contacts which make her blue eyes seem brown
  22. "Au"rora, Sunshine gold hair, coincidence?
  23. Invisible choir follows her around
  24. She's harder to get, hence more valuable :)
  25. Brings the dawn each morning... Sorry, that's the goddess Aurora...
  26. Her curiosity never got her in trouble
  27. Her prince was ready to commit in a few minutes
  28. Didn't have a midnight curfew
  29. Can dance with an owl in a cape
  30. Love at first sight; no rescues, gifts or magic carpets.
  31. Not just a princess, she's a Crown Princess
  32. Fills your life with sunshine
  33. Has a mother who's still alive
  34. Was more successful pretending to be a peasant
  35. Didn't need books to spark her imagination
  36. Had the best looking blue dress! 


Next, watch this:


I love princesses. I love the idea of princesses. I love to think that every girl on this planet is royalty, that we all are regal, and divine, and daughters of a King. All of us have such amazing potential, for even the princess with knobby knees will blossom into the most amazing flower. I think that the true aura and power in princesses comes from within, which is something that we could all learn.

So stand tall! At least tell yourself that you are beautiful and soon enough you will believe it. Some of the most amazing girls I know may not be "pretty" by the world's standard, but I honestly did not notice - their personality was much more noticeable.

Here is to my favorite song - I cry practically every time I hear it:


Just remember who you are!

And I will try to post one "princess" a day!

McCall
