Discover Who And What You Are, And Climb Into The Carriage
Well, why are you staring at me like this, darling? Haven't you seen a Fairy Godmother before? Who did you think I was? Some dolled up old hag from some old Warner Bros' movie from the fifties? It is because of modern kids like you that I had to take on the avatar of Tami in the new version of Warner Bros'. Pinch yourself, young lady. I am your Fairy Godmother! FG for short.

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall

_*


* 'Nymph With Morning Glory Flowers' by Jules Joseph Lefebvre, wiki. Since the time of Adam and Eve, we have always judged the quality of our own beauty through the eyes of others, including that of the artist who painted this image of the 'beautiful' nymph.


Live By Your Own Standards Of Beauty And Handsomeness
The Greek storytellers of yore excelled in creating icons that have endured the passage of time. One among them is that of Narcissus. This son of a God and a nymph is considered to be the epitome of male beauty. The Handsomest Male To Ever Walk The Surface Of The Earth. He set the benchmark for others to judge their own beauty and handsomeness against. And invariably they would find their own judgment giving them a lower score. I bet all fellow males of his generation would forever have low self-esteem problems for as long as he lived!

How Tillie Pulls Out Of The Avalanche

By Breathing The Oxygen Of Self-Belief In Her Firebox, That's How
Do you remember Tillie? No, not the kid who had a perpetually running nose and who would chew gum all the time and later stick it into the hair of the other kids when they weren't looking. No, Tillie is the one who ferries a few car-loads of birthday toys from one town to another. And makes quite a song and dance of the ferrying thing, because the passage between the two towns is oh god so torturous and people think it is beyond her capacity to do the ferrying thing.

Pygmalion And The Miracle Of Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

- Believe In Yourself - Believe In Your Creations
You wouldn't find young, handsome Pygmalion ever wearing that special look that young males think they should wear when in the vicinity of the objects of their desire. While the other hot-blooded male hunks spent their time chasing skirts and generally had fun --- Pygmalion, an introvert, silent type, would retire in his own private world where he would dream of the woman who was perfect in his eyes. Night and day he would ponder over this woman who did not exist - never existed - in the real world. So focused was he on the woman, that, slowly, his mind began to give it a shape. He could now clearly see in his mind's eye the features of the person he desired to have as his. Being a sculptor of the highest caliber, Pygmalion got himself a slab of the best marble there was, and began chiseling out from stone the woman in his dreams.

When A Mistletoe Becomes A Spear

When Pride And Contempt Cause This Transformation


For Loki he has taught us all
The best don’t always win
For was not Balder caused to fall
Cut down there by his kin?

[ From "The Saga of Alfred & Gudrum", Trevor Morgan ]

You remember the charm that the mistletoe once held for you? Yes? On that special day, you remember how you would position yourself underneath the sprig of this plant, yearning to be found underneath it by that special someone? You do? Great.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

The seven kids of Kommandant Georg Ritter von Trapp ultimately couldn't have asked for a better tutor. After their mother Agathe's death, the father's military bearing had become rather stifling. The arrival of the music-loving, boisterous young nun from the nearby abbey changed all that.
