I remember the names of the other two Obese Disney Princesses now: Heaping Booty and Porkahontas.

Steph says my idea to paint their portraits is a good one, but that the insulting names may detract from my commentary on how children't entertainment perpetuates unrealistic standards of beauty in that it may appear that I'm actually making fun of obese people rather than attempting to shed light upon the cruelty that is so often inflicted upon the larger citizens of the world.* I say art answers to no one, but at the same time, I find the names funny. If I weren't myself a larger citizen, I would most certainly be offended by them.

Something to think about. Or it would be if I actually intended to carry through with this project. Alas, it's more fun to think of insulting versions of Disney Princess names than actually go about producing the artwork itself. Here in the real world, inspiration bleeds away into apathy and despondency.

I gotta go to work in a few hours, and instead of sleeping I'm thinking of insulting names for cartoon characters.
