I've had people give me funny looks because of the uber-cool Disney Villains poster that was hanging in my sons' room. (It's in my office now that my little minions are exerting their own taste in decor. But it's still awesome.) I think part of the appeal of the villains - and, yes, the women are much scarier and more complex - is that they are the closest things to the original feel of the fairy tales. I love Disney. But these stories were much deeper and richer and more psychologically gripping in their original tellings. The classic villains are the delicious bits of darkness leftover when Disney's done white-washing the tales. This was an excellent post!

Avoiding woodsmen --indefinitely. And in regards to your response to @whall: Yeah, smarter than everyone else. Except puppies. @Faiqa: Technically, my Mardi Gras float ticket hasn’t been sold yet, but there is a buyer and I am planning to sell it. Avoiding woodsmen –indefinitely.
