For #InternationalWomansDay here's a bit of doll history! DreamWorks made a line of dolls in conjecture with Shrek fhe Third of Fiona & her princess friends. However the designs were different from their cinematic counterparts. They didn't even bother to add Doris >:(
I assume this was done to avoid a lawsuit from the mouse. Still, it's kinda hilarious that Dreamworks made their princess line when the entire point of the shrek series is to poke fun at Disney's ultra-corporatism.
First Fiona. Her doll form is her human form and included a bust of her Ogre form to change heads. She has her green gown which is the iconic item in her wardrobe. Her face does NOT look accurate to her human appearance in the movie!
Next we have Rapunzel. Her doll keeps the long golden hair but in a different style. In the movie she wore a yellow&red dress while the doll's dress is pink. Odd, given the other two princesses wear pink. Yellow would've stood out more. I got her & Cindy mixed up!
Third is Cinderella. Like with Rapz her doll form retains the blond and replaces her blue dress with pink. Funny the Disney version had its version of cindy wear a pink dress briefly.
Fourth is Sleeping Beauty! Her doll has a blue dress while the movie wears green&white. They also have different shades of brown. I guess they didn't want two girls to wear the same color. Also a bit of irony Disney S.B. wore a blue dress, and pink but never green.
Finally we have *sighs* Snow White. Honestly except for Immigrant Song she was my least favorite she came off as a total witch! But that's a rant for another time. Of the dolls she's the most accurate in terms of physical features. However her dress is dark pink, and her hair is long instead of short. Movie Snow wore red&purple. I think they should've went with that or have her wear entirely purple to fill in for Doris.
Speaking of, Doris was very much a main part of the group! It was Rapunzel who betrayed the team (for a guy no less!). My guess: to avoid spoiling the film. Given the films Anti Disney/status quo message including a Doris would've helped. To see someone not consisted attractive by society's standards get a glamorous doll of her own would be a huge step for the time! Alas, they had to play by the rules.
One can only imagine if DW revisit the Princesses & try again. Hope they actually make them accurate with their unique qualities including doris (& Lillian too! More older woman dolls please!). With success of The Last Wish, this may be one dream that might come true!

I support #womenincannabis for Women’s History Month. Thankfully I’ve grown up watching incredible women do incredible things which is something I am truly grateful for. Knowing what my grandmother and even my mother faced, growing up Jewish and female, could not have been easy. Even in my life I’ve seen the dark try to overcome the light, but nothing like before. When it comes to mental health and specifically cannabis it’s a different story though. I really didn’t see #womenincannabis until recently when I actively looked for it as I was interested in getting into the industry myself. Yeah a lot of us are goofy and messy as the stereotype goes, but my eyes have been opened to a whole new world. Not only the marketing styles and strategies, but the products and people have become mainstream and even elegant. I never thought I’d see a day where someone invented a way for me to carry my cannabis discreetly and it wasn’t blatantly covered in cannabis leaves or camo print🤦🏻♀️ The idea of having mental health issues and using cannabis to treat them is becoming more of a reality so why not #womenincannabis ?

“I think it would be nice if there are more stories that women can relate to, because i’m also an actress. There are a lot of male-centric movies being produced and released. the works that depicted women’s biographies are harder to be made.”
— Son Ye-jin (2016)
Happy international women’s day! Hope for a much better future for women in the film industry too 🤍
I find it important to also note that It's not 'happy international women's day' because it is *not* a day for celebration, at least not the way corporations (and flower-gifting men that don't deconstruct where the problem is 🙃) go about it: Yes, Women’s History Month is meant to keep visibilizing women in Herstory and women today (but also all year round!). But the reason why 8M still needs to exist is to remind everyone that women's rights are human rights, that we still live in patriarchal societies, that sexism and misogyny are still a thing in many ways and many places, that we haven't reached gender equality by a long shot, and that ALL women from ALL intersections of race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexuality, class, ability, body type, etc etc need to be visibilized and seen as equal human beings every single day of the year. It's not a birthday or anniversary or anything that merits flowers and felicitations, it's a day to remind everyone that there is a fight, and it is ongoing.

"Look, I did a wee bit of reading, and it turns out that for the most of the history of this planet men have treated women a teensy bit badly. As a woman, I object to that, so I decided to help"
And regarding the exclusionary 'feminist' faction that has wrongly appropriated suffrage imagery for their own twisted discourse lately 😣, a reminder that when cosplaying Suffragette!Missy, it's a statement that here's a canonically genderfluid and queer character with a penchant for Edwardian nanny and Suffragette aesthetics who says intersectional feminism and women's rights for all women better than any in that group - and it's *Missy* 😅! 💜💚🌈💪✊♀
