The search is on.

For what, you might ask? Well, my dear, the perfect dress. Some of you may recall my most recent Halloween costume as the Queen of Hearts. If you don't, here's a picture to jog your memory.

But after an amazing costume like that, (that I was even recognized as at a later date) I need something bigger and better to top it. Now, in all of Disney history, what dress is the biggest and best? I've got one word for you: Charlotte.

Charlotte La Bouff, a.k.a. Lottie, Tiana's best friend in The Princess and the Frog. Yup, that will be me.

Now, last year, my wonderful grandmother had an old bridesmaid dress from my mother's wedding that we simply altered a bit and painted to make the perfect under-layer of the Queen's wonderful gown. Looking back, I feel I should have saved that for this year, because it would've been beyond perfect (it had the poofy sleeves and everything)!

So, for the past couple months I've been checking Craigslist every once in a while. I mean, I'm not that specific, just want a white or pink ballgown that's about my size. You think that would be easy, right? WRONG.

Here's the thing. I'm a thin person. Not to sound conceited, but I just am. And I'd say a majority of the Inland Empire popular who's getting married or having their Quincenera, well...isn't.

It's a good thing I get an incredibly early start on these.

The Princess and the Frog, "babycakes."

Today I saw "The Princess and the Frog." Here's what I have to say about it.

Firt of all, the outfits were amazing. I'm a huge fan of the 1920's fashion, so I was basically in heaven. Tiana and Charlotte's hairstyles are so cute - especially when short. Naveen looked sharp in his street clothes.

Going into the theater, I was really looking forward to it, although my mother told me it got awful reviews from Christians due to the voodoo.

Overall, I though it was a really cute movie. It started out great, in the middle it was a little bit boring, but the end was awesome. Tiana and Naveen are absolutely precious, Dr. Facilier was wicked, Charlotte is hilarious, and Louis and Ray were awesome. I gotta say, one of my favorite parts was when Louis had the flashback about when he tried to play with the humans.

Although I loved it, I felt that some things were not necessarily rated G. They'd probably go over most kids' heads, but still.

Once again, I feel the need to say that Tiana and Naveen are absolutely precious.

Changing gears, how come most all the princess don't have both parents? Mulan and Aurora are the only girls with both. Food for thought, there.
