fallen princesses


I absolutely love this Fallen Princesses project from photographer Dina Goldstein. It's both hilarious and also really sad at the same time.

Goldstein lived abroad as a child and was never exposed to fairy tales until she had a daughter of her own. She observed how little girls adored these characters and desired to be just like them. 

'Happily Ever After' doesn't always occur, so she represented the princesses battling ailments such as illness, addiction, and problems with self-image.  I think it's really quite genius.
