Sure lady, turn to the dark arts to turn your fancy queen clothes into "a simple peddler's cloak". Clearly better than walking to the market, I guess. :kermit:
#MyFirstMac was a Macintosh SE with the original "SuperDrive!" (FDHD - Floppy Disk High Density), a 20MiB miniscribe hard disk that should have died, but never did, and 2MB RAM. Purchased 1989-12-22 (I still remember the date, for some reason)
At some point, my parents upgraded me to 4MiB RAM and an external 105MB Mirror (IIRC) hard disk (which sat under the Mac itself and had the same #SnowWhite design language), and then I was seriously livin' large!
I didn't have another Mac until my 2008 MacBook 4,1 (classic white plastic, Penryn Core 2 Duo, 2 GiB RAM, 60 GiB HDD)
My last Mac (probably forever 😥 was an early 2014 MacBook Air, which I dearly loved, but which sadly died from tea exposure in 2019.
Not quite sure what the fuss over the 7 dwarves in the 2024 #snowwhite movie is about. Sure, #disney is race swapping the main character again, but this leaked footage looks to me like they were just testing the location with stunt doubles in proto costumes before bringing in the expensive actors.
(why would anyone, especially professional #movies reviewers believe that this is actual footage)?
Many of the same people who complained about the #Disney#SnowWhite casting of a Latina SnowWhite are the same people who complain about #BlackSantas while simultaneously not batting an eyelid over #Jesus being portrayed as a white dude.
The evil queen, the evil mother. The one who can't stand the time of her beauty passing.
In the brothers Grimm version I own the queen asks „Mirror mirror tell me...” there's no wall mentioned so I decided to go with Heather Pollington interpretation which is very #symbolic for our times.
Basically, in this tale a farmer's girl lost her way in the forest and stumbled across a hut inhabited by seven dwarves. She asked them for a place to stay for the night, and received it (after the dwarves argued about who would get the honor of giving up his bed for the girl)....
#FolkloreMoment When a folk tale is called "The Death of the Seven Dwarves", then you know it's going to be good.

A short term later, a farmer woman arrived. When the girl opened the door and explained that there was no more space, the farmer woman suspected her of being the lover of all seven dwarves, called her a wanton woman, and then fetched two men who killed the dwarves, buried the corpses in the dwarves' garden, and burned down the hut (the girl, however, had managed to escape).
