Realistic princesses

November 13, 2014 by John

Over a year ago, I wrote about some efforts to depict a more “realistic” Barbie. Now, Loryn Brantz at Buzzfeed has taken a similar look at Disney princesses, focusing on their waistlines (tackling the size of their eyes and wrists might be beyond human capabilities).

Belle Jasmine

Even with more realistic waists, the princesses are still very thin, but is is interesting how easy it is to overlook their ridiculous thinness (seriously, look at the unaltered image of Jasmine!) until seeing a more realistic take like this.
