cinderella
eva and i went to fair park tonight to check out the operatic version of cinderella. she loved it, although she kept asking me what on earth was happening. in this version, there's no step-mother. there's a step-father. there's also no glass slipper, instead a sparkly bracelet. further, the whole thing was in italian, bless her little heart.
what i really liked about the story tonight was how she wasn't some desperate cinder-maid, waiting for a (*gasp*) man to save her. she was simply an entity of beauty and hope and love. she forgave her evil step-sisters and evil step-father and insisted her new groom do the same. very cool actually.
