Mirror, mirror on the wall... who is fairest of all?

It has been awhile since i have stopped writing in my blogs. But here i am again. Since i have a lot of free time now being a full time photographer, i can get my blogs going again.

Here's the book that i have already read twice. Yes, people it is the story of the wicked queen step mother of snow white. This book is published under disney publications and around 1/4 to the last of the book tells about the disney version of snow white.

Upon reading this book, you would find how it is that snow white's step mother has been so wicked and vain. How her vanity pushed her to kill her step-daughter. She was the daughter of a famous mirror maker in her land. She grew up with her father that disliked her for her mother died giving birth to her and all her life she has been called by her father as ugly and useless. When her father died she married the king thus becoming snow white's step mother. It all started perfectly fine until the king died and battle and the queen found the comfort of the magic mirror. The queen's story is i think the best example of the saying "Vanity becomes of her, Vanity kills her." In her obsession to be the most fairest and beautiful in the land she grew insane and well we all know the story, eventually wanted to kill snow white.

Twice i read this book as i have mentioned in earlier on this post. Not because i came to the point that i didn't have much money anymore to buy new books. But I somehow could relate to the queen. I have been fat and in where i am people think fat is ugly. I am vain as vain as i could be. In when i was reading this book i simply asked myself. what if i get married and have a daugther, and that daugther of mine will turn out pretty... would my vanity eat me up in will make me hate her? Coz you see, jealousy and vanity are sisters and they could kill. But then again that is only what if.... ^_^
