Clip clopping, Disney clean freak?

So, this morning I'm up at 7.00 watching Beauty and the Beast whilst tidying up the flat and cleaning everything......As you do. (I must point out here that we were having people over and that I'm not some crazy OCD clean freak......In all honesty I'm normally a bit of a lazy slob. ha ha.)

Anyway. I suddenly realise the flaw in the Disney well oiled machine. Sexual orientation.
As it comes on, they say that the beast has been cursed by the witch and the only way he can break the spell is to get a woman to fall in love with him, and I suddenly thought, what if he wanted a man? What if he was bi-sexual? Ok, I realise this was extremely early 90's, but still.......

Maybe it's something to think about in the future, Disney? Lesbian or Gay protagonists? Bi sexual relationships? You know, mix it up a little.

And another thing I noticed was how similar I am to Belle. She reads whilst walking through the town and I do that through the streets of London. Also, she has that annoying hair that keeps wafting in front of her eyes throughout the whole film. And of course, she's a bit of a weirdo:

"With a dreamy far off look and her nose stuck in a book."    Yep, that's definitely me!

Just a short one tonight as I'm pretty knackered.
Does anyone else find it strangely disappointing when they hear a clip clopping shoe noise, coming from behind them and of course you presume it's going to be a woman. But then as they pass you, with their eerily long legs, you realise it's actually a man with pointy shoes on. Come on guys.....that's not fair. It's the one thing that made being a woman pretty bearable. From such a young age, women of all attitude, whether tomboy or gilrly girl, enjoy waltzing around in their mother's heels, clip clopping around. It's all about the noise.

For me, it was my mum's navy blue court shoes and I used to wander up and down the hall clip clopping. It's the mark of a good shoe, just how loud it is. It makes you feel like a real woman and now the bloody men are trying to get in on it as well. Come on.....You already have a penis, why do you need clip clopping shoes too. ha ha.

Anyhoo, after roughly four hours sleep last night, I'm pretty beat.
So, night night.
