that was so funny………….I was crying. When Hunt was little, on his little wooden truck with non-gender people, (kind of like pegs) I used to draw red lips on some of them and put them in the driver’s seat. He never thought anything of it – but I always laughed at the neighbor boy. He never let her drive.

Holy Mackerel! I need that fish bowl! Crappy face and her fear of ruining her dress remind me of the time in college when a nice boy wth early-stage teeth rot asked me to a TKE homecoming or something dance. I said yes then asked my freshmen friends to hook me up with a dress. I was enthusiastically encouraged to wear one friend’s prom dress, reminiscent of Scarlet O’Hara. I looked completely inappropriate to say the least. On the way home I had to make a dash for the dorm, date in tow, because I had developed some kind of bug, i.e. the bad kind. College years are the best!

it is encouraging to hear that there are parents who don’t get all caught up in the disney stuff. Sofia is way better off; great stories!

I like that, in the video, Sofia is drawing stripes, just like the stripes in her shirt!

Even though Evelyn (my 8 yr old) has seen all the disney stuff she’s onto more interesting stuff, like the Far Side, which reads and laughs over and over! I too have an aversion to all the blue eyed and blonde haired royalty.

When my godson was little, his parents attempted to keep toy guns out of his arsenal of toys, but gave up when they say him outside holding another child’s Barbie, one leg gripped in his fist, the other leg at 90 degrees pointing at his playmate, shouting, “Bang-bang!” He’s now a massage therapist, vegetarian, raising two children. I’m looking forward to seeing those beer glasses finished, that one is so lovely now.

Take heart, though she may eventually go through moments of disney princess syndrome,brought on by public school, the early years of anti Disneyism will win out in the end. The world needs more kids like Sofia, non Disney damaged budding artist-entrepreneurs. She’s awesome!

This is perfection!
Early built-in anti-disneyism, I mean, there’s no guarantee that in later years she won’t provoke a nervous breakdown in a princess, but top marks for inbuilt scepticism.

I wonder at what age she’ll get wise to your creative translations?

The beer glass looks excellent, and I love the way your gallery proprietress works. You’re a perfect customer, I’ve yet to meet one who says “I’ll take it all!”
