Hey everyone. Just wanted to show you these wonderful pins I’ve been collecting. The creator is @the_pinstress on instagram. Her work is amazing. I hand painted the frame and lined it in velvet and it makes the perfect display💖
Aaaaaand THIS is how our princesses show up. Excited to share this black princess series which was a personal project orchestrated by Hair by LaChanda. The mission was to redefine and reimagine the traditional princess with our own dash of style, culture and swag. 🥰❤️ Thanks to all of the models and vendors who helped bring this project together.

WAIT HOW THE FUCK DID THAT TRANSFORM SCENE GO WHAT
HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY WALKING
Pepper’s Ghost Effect: the Beast seen in tge transformation is actually hidden and viewers are looking at a piece of glass with his reflection on it. When the super bright lights on Beast dim, the image fades to reveal his human form behind the glass.
Walking: all the support mechanudms are hidden under Belle’s dress and she’s carrying the prince around by his hand so his legs are free to dangle snd move and dance.
All still super impressive, the faces really get me too because there’s no trick to make them so expressive other than engineering and craftsmaship and they even did it well on the horse
“We wanted to have an element of international flavor, so we’ve dressed princesses from around the world.” Sandy Powell, costume designer. Cinderella (2015).
im literally not exaggerating when i tell you guys this video saved my life
This is a damn MOOD FOR LIFE, I tell you what.
This is beautiful, not just because of the lyrics, harmonies and relatable message, but also because Cinderella (Brandy), One of the Hercules Muses (Roz Ryan) , and Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis) are singing it. Like we have been blessed.
