Bless. Another magical theme week here at Trespass – don’t you think they seem to come around so fast? And isn’t this week’s theme special. It makes me think back to my glory days, as just a small girl, watching Disney movies, wishing I was Ariel from The Little Mermaid, or Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, or Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. Just too many to choose from really! I swear, my general knowledge might not be up to scratch, but ask me the most intricate details of any Disney princess’s life story, and bam! I can tell you the answer. For example, what is Sleeping Beauty’s real name? It is not – like they’d have us believing in Shrek – plain old ‘Beauty’. Oh-no. It is in fact, Princess Aurora. Am I a slight weirdo, knowing that? I can’t help the fact that I grew up with two sisters, zero brothers, and not even a glimmer of Rambo. My boyfriend doesn’t understand the fact that I haven’t even seen The Karate Kid. Apparently it’s a classic. Not in my house it’s not. So this week, the theme suits me right down to the ground. I can even dress up every day as a different Disney character, and call it work. And so, obviously, for my very-pretty-and-girly-themed beauty column this week, I’ve chosen for us all to bask in our inner Disney princess, and shower ourselves in Gold, the Colour of Fairy Dust, of course.
