Tangible Friends for the Imaginary Friends



Hmmm..... Even better than the last one (in my opinion), I think this addition to The Home is quite significant in the fact that she just has so many things to offer! (to the blog that is).

First of all, like I talked about before, we can obviously see that she is another way that our generation has found to make something old, recognizable, and "boring" turn into something new, sleek, and sexy. If she were to walk into a party, people would right away recognize her as "Cinderella" and maybe even point it out to her that she makes a fabulous Cinderella, but I doubt that MOST people would go as far as to start asking her about her fairy godmother, or her stepmother, or how her sisters were doing cause that would just be nerdy, right??

Second, all these talks about displaced fairy tales (which have all been wonderful) makes me think of how many true life fairy tales there really are out there (especially Cinderella stories). Now, I'm not saying that any of those fairy tales are perfect (there will always be heart ache and pain no matter how good your life is), but look at most fairy tales, they're not perfect either. What I was thinking was of stories such as that of the "Cinderella Man" (true life here, by the way) and how people do constantly rise, fall, and rise again. It's something that some people can do. They get a taste of the good life, fall back to the low, and end up returning even better than before, whether it be from chance (not very often) or by learning from their mistakes.

Anyway, maybe the point I'm trying to get at is that this home could quite possibly become a home not only for "imaginary friends", but could become a home for you. Each one of us has a fairy tale that fits at least into some part of our lives, thus making you an honorary member of the imaginary friends home (even though your not imaginary, we live like them, you see?) and giving you powers beyond your wildest dreams when your fantasy is realized. So now the goal is to go and figure out that one little thing!

Figure out what Fairy Tale YOU are living!
