This photo series by Dina Goldstein entitled “Fallen Princesses” totally blows me away. I’m obsessed with fairy tales–wrote about them extensively in my first novel, Hollywoodland: An American Fairy Tale, and I teach them in my 12th grade English course. These photos are smart, sometimes funny, and wildly inventive. But don’t just take my word for it, see for yourself! What 21st century version of fairy tale would YOU like to see depicted?
Cinder
Rapunzel
Ariel

I looked through her Fallen Princesses series and they are amazing! Sad some of them, but amazing nonetheless!

I really like the Rapunzel . . . I wish she’d played less with the Disney version of the tales.

I think the Rapunzel one would be a really great story.

Awesome. I’m gonna go for Cinderella. Love that she’s at a (Canadian?) truck stop!
