Rws - May the tooth fairy steal healthy teeth from the mouths of sleeping children drooling as they await a bundle of cash. And may you find something to make your mortality a bit more bearable.
Celticlion - Thank you so much. Fortunately, my pain is temporary- due to surgery- but thank you for such sweet words! Yours, catherine
ShannonV - Ya, everything is painful. including the whore-ization of tinkerbell that people seem to like to do. like.. puttinga pic of her on a shirt and putting like CUM GUZZLER beneath it or somehting equally subtle. you know they make disney lingerie now? i forgot where i heard that. creepy. sorry.. this isnt helpful. i was amused by this.. and i hope you recover nice n' dandily.
Celticlion - Okay, Shan, I didn't know about the X-rated Tinkerbell stuff.....Ewwwww....I mean, what's next? A Tinkerbell blow-up doll? GOD save us all. Disney lingerie? Are you serious? So, like, I could order "Little Mermaid" bra and matching undies? Or a "Snow White" camisole with seven dwarves crotchless panties? This information has opened a bizarre set of imaginings in my mind- like women having at home "Disney" parties. The first part of the evening is for the children- toys, stuffed animals, movies. The second part is luridly adult in nature, with super creepy items like Mickey Mouse weenie rings with a matching hat -and a Minnie Mouse lingerie set for the missus to play out their fantasies. My God, do you think there's a market? There are a lot of Disney freaks out there. I am on my first cup of coffee and this is the stuff I'm thinking about. Clearly, Shan, you are one original person. Two swigs of java and a hip hip hoorah! Thanks for your review....Catherine
Rws - Hmmm...If that's the case, then someone will be writing a scholarly paper riddled with insinuations that Goofy is a heroin addict.
And Mickey does helium.
And Scrooge is a robber baron.
And Chip and Dale are co-habiting cross dressers.
And Uncle Walt was a jolly drunk.
...the death of innocence.
ShannonV - Rws, death of innocence indeed. I have seen pornographic depictions (I didn’t seek them out, I swear, a site I frequent posted some and discussed how revolting they were) of certain cartoon characters and I was like REALLY? THIS NEEDS TO EXIST?? I swear, think of any character from your childhood and I can pretty much guarantee that someone has spent HOURS drawing them together naked gangbanging eachother. LOVELY. Also, I don’t know if he was a drunk but Walt Disney was a giant racist, in reality, so fuck him. There needs to be no exaggeration to sully his name.
Catherine, the Disney lingerie thing sickens me. I’m not going to have little dwarves faces covering my vag. Not even ironically. Not necessary.
Also, don’t thank me for my review.. I didn’t write a review, I just blabbered a lot. I will actually review something you’ve written at some point, I swear.
Shan - my daughter loves faeries and would agree that they should have eternal life.
But does eternal life make it better?
I like your poem, it saddens me though. The descriptive begnning sets a great picture.
Living can be painful. Hopefully you find some moments to break up the pain, even small ones help.

Anstey - There's this vague sense of Anne Sexton in the whole pornification of disney princesses that is at once disturbing and poetic.
Celticlion - Freakish. I just bammed this out because I was chewing up (yes, chewing) my percocet and opening a Sprite and smoking a cigarette and it occured to me how strange the name of the soda was. But of all my poems, this has been the most discussed which is just freakish considering my next comment about the Disney sex/lingerie party was going to be, Dumbo dildo anyone?...and then your kid finds it and asks, "Mommy, why is Dumbo's nose vibrating? And it smells funny."
Anstey - Seriously, Anne Sexton. Didn't she play with the whole twisted faerie tales and drugs motif? I'm pretty sure she did.
Celticlion - Oh, yeah. I remember that, Anstey- Sexton actually rewrote all the fairy tales so the underlying repressed deviational sexuality would be exposed. I don't remember the drugs though, quite possibly because I was on drugs. I read them when I was 13. Plath, Sexton, Vincent-Millay and Dickinson- those were the first poets I read. An odd assortment. I like the idea of using fairytales to subversively expose bizarre truths about the conventional world....C
