Once upon a time

ONCE UPON A TIME

Even if I could seem a granny I wanna talk about cartoons on air when I was a child. I started thinking on it last night while I was going back home after dining with my sister. She was singing Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” theme. She was Belle and I had to complete the song with the Beast parts (older sisters are always arrogant!). It has been shocking how, after so many years, we still remember the whole lyric, surely because we saw it thousand times. Once Disney used to produce not simply cartoons, but real pieces of art. Plots, sketches, dialogues and song were make to be forever and to remain in children’s heads at least for a year, when the new cartoon was out. However, they were so awesome that are in our heads for the whole life. Cartoons like “The Lion King”, “Aladdin”, “Hercules”, I saw them so many time to wear out the tape, and I was never bored to watch them. They were totally different one with the other to be unique was essential. I am not still talking how gorgeous were for us, little girls, the Princesses. Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Aurora were our idol, always beautiful, kind and elegant. Their clothes were a dream (the name of my blog come from it) that all of us were looking for Carnival, and what about their amazing boyfriends? Always awesome and rich (that Princesses were not stupid at all!). Now that cartoons don’t exist anymore (here it is the granny!), there are just business production, made for earn as much possible and them be lost after few months. Love story now are amongst monsters, worriers or aliens. All the same and that magic has disappeared. That’s why I stopped and I thought how lucky I am, even if old, I’ve been a child when cartoons were the most beautiful, that will be with me for the rest of my life.

In the pics my second outfit in Rome, that I wore for a truly important meeting. How amazing is this city?
