This week I'm discussing one of my favorite redheads of all time, the classic Disney princess, Ariel. You may tell me that I'm talking like the stereotypical little girl that loves tiaras and princes and ball gowns. This is nowhere near the truth, because the reason I loved Ariel so much was simply because she was a redhead like me. There were princesses of all races, all skin tones, all hair colors, and finally I had found one that matched my flaming red hair (plus she was a mermaid which was and still is my dream). Of course, I thought prince Eric was soooo cute and I trembled right along with the other little girls when Ursula rose out of the sea with the mighty staff of Triton, but the fact that a redhead could be a princess too actually blew my mind. It wasn't because I thought redheads weren't as pretty as anyone else or because I didn't think they were regal enough, the thought had just never occurred to me. Children were supposed to learn that the grass isn't always greener on the other side or that you need to follow your dreams from that movie but I learned to be proud of who you are, especially if you're a mermaid, cause everyone wants to be a mermaid.
On second thought the moral of the story is never give up your mermaid super powers, even for a chance at true love because in the long run, mermaid super powers are much more exciting.
