Preppin' Postgrad: My Obsession Monday: Disney

Hey y'all,

This week's obsession is DISNEY! Especially after going to see the adorable movie, Brave, this past weekend I am proclaiming my second name, Disney Diva. When I was little the only TV I was allowed to watch was PBS and Disney movies so I have some favorites like Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Hercules, and now Brave.

Some things that qualify me to be a Disney Diva are having over 11 hours of Disney music on my iTunes, going to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D for my 22nd Birthday, getting Disney movies for my Birthday (hello Hercules and Mulan), watching just about every Disney movie(see the bold ones on this list:)

Hanging out with the Beast: Disneyland 2008

Hugs from Mickey Mouse!

And yes my Princess ears with tiara and veil has my name embroidered.

Brave kept up my expectations of Disney. The story of a teenage girl rebelling against expectations in order to changer her fate isn't that far-fectched. The story is all about finding one's own path and changing fate through one's own actions rather than following the expected. While not a traditional love story and no unrealistic expectations of hair I recommend Brave highly if you are like me and love Disney movies.
