I hate Preaching via a FB status so i am putting this here, but this is really just not sitting right w/ me. feel free to disagree, its totally cool
Making Disney Characters bald is a cute idea for those children dealing with hair loss from Chemo. BUT at the same time-
Do we really want kids to think that Cinderella had to leave the ball early to go to the ER?
That Tiana had to work 2 jobs so that she could afford her medical bills?
That Ariel wanted legs because she had to get a port and could not get wet while it was accessed.
Or Snow White & sleeping beauty were just experiencing the fatigue side effects of chemotherapy?
That Princess jasmine & Belle couldn't leave the palace because they had to be in isolation from a bone marrow transplant?
Not to mention Rapunzel would be totally screwed since her hair was magical.
Also who is buying these dolls? are they going to be donated? would they be sold as a fundraiser for some child cancer charity?
Disney is one of the happiest places on earth and little girls view the princesses as who they wish they were- so do these kids need a doll that is a constant reminder that their world is not always happy? it is ok for kids to dream to be a princess- with or with out hair. Instead of changing the old...make something new- and raise money/ awareness that way.
