My critique of Disney ladies Buzzfeed census
After viewing the Disney Ladies Census HERE by Buzzfeed I wanted to make a short post.
It carries out age, names, country, race, hair colour, skills, marital status, employment, sidekick, clothes and family.
Included in the census are a few Disney ladies that most people wouldn't have heard of (such as Kida, Megara and Eilonwy).
"61% of them are from Europe" says Buzzfeed. These characters are all based on fairytales, history and mythology. Tiana is from the USA because Disney set "Princess and the Frog" in modern America.
Ariel is from "Ocean" according to the Buzzfeed census even though she should really be from Denmark as that is where her storybook origins come from. There is even a "little mermaid" statue in Copenhagen. A bronze Ariel I should say.
"28% are Caucasian". I wonder why the Caucasian category has Kida but not Esmeralda. Kida is from Atlantis and it's unknown what race of people lived in Atlantis. Her features somewhat look like the people living in remote tropical islands. Now Esmeralda is French and Romani.
Because the census is a little bit old now, Moana isn't listed.
Buzzfeed made a mistake with sorting hair colour of the Disney ladies. There is a category for white hair so why wasn't Elsa included in that? Her hair is white isn't it.
Also why didn't the census include Tinkerbell? They always forget the fairies.

My past life regression
Many years ago I had a past life regression and was so shocked. That was my former life before I was born. I was seeing a forest all around me. I was so young and with my father, who was big, strong and a beautiful grey wolf. I knew then that I was the only girl in the litter of three or four. Things looked slightly different as my vision was more complex,vivid,the green colours stronger and weirdly flatter. I remember playing on the grass when my back legs slipped, and then my hind paws landed on nothing. Father wolf stared at me, panic was in his eyes. I was sliding fast over the sloping edge and my front paws desperately tried to cling. All I could do was was think to myself "if only I had fingers". Then I plummeted down. I must've landed so hard because an intense pain was in my back. Father wolf looked over the edge and I wanted to call out to him but I couldn't. Soon everything blurred and I left my body. I looked down at myself to see a young wolf pup laying on the ground, dead.Then that poor wolf cub transformed into a sleeping little human girl (I realised that it was me as a toddler). I understand that was why I was always so scared of heights. And why wolves fascinate me. Why I feel that I'm instinctively searching for my wolf father even though, that past life would've happened a long time ago. My wolf pup former life made a last wish and that was to have fingers. So that little wolf came back as a human: me.
