Belle330 and Belle309

Two more images today.  Our first post of Belle® in her pink winter dress, holding the mirror showing Beast®.  Then, Belle® in her favorite spot...picking out a book.

Belle302

My favorite.  Plain. and. Simple.

Don't ask me why, I don't know, but I've always loved puffed sleeves.  Doesn't make any sense to me, but the perfect dress has 'em.  Snow White®?  Check.  Cinderella®?  Close enough.  Giselle®?  Yeah, it was a joke, but still nice.

But this dress is perfect.  It's a simple little dress but is so perfectly accented by those puffed sleeves that I love it.  (It also isn't lost on me that I like that shade of green.)

Belle312 and Belle329

There's something about the pose and the slight alterations to the dress in this first one that I kinda like.  Can't quite put my finger on it, but there you go.  (Also, please note the heart-shaped tiara.  Disney Princess®, you've done it again.)

After that, the first one of Belle® in her blue jumper.

(Okay, here's the thing.  I believe that that style of dress is called a "jumper".  That's in American English.  Rest of the World English says a "jumper" is more of a shirt.  I've seen people online refer to that blue dress as a "peasant dress", but I think a peasant dress is more of a poofy skirt and blouse and not what Belle® is wearing.  So I've always referred to it as the "blue jumper".  And I'll probably continue to do so.  And if you don't like it, then...well...you'll just be a little unhappy.  Sorry.)

Semantics...

Belle328

The inaugural post.  Belle checks herself out in a mirror.  (Naturally, as part of the "Disney Princess" line, the mirror is contractually obligated to be heart-shaped.  With inset hearts.)

It begins...

Last year at Christmas, my parents bought me a Kindle® as a gift.  And I absolutely love it.  It's so much better than I ever expected; I wasn't quite sure if I'd take to it or not, since I'm an avid reader (and have way too many books around me in my tiny little apartment), but it's so much better than I had even hoped for.

Naturally, the first thing I did was jailbreak it.  Not that the wallpaper that comes preloaded isn't cool or anything--those author portraits do really look cool.  Just that, well, I don't want their wallpaper.  I want mine.

And what do I like?  Well, I love Disney® animation, and Beauty and the Beast® in particular, so I started there.  I pulled a few pictures I've collected over the years and started Photoshopping®.  And the results...I'll post here.  Please feel free to grab and use on your own devices; that's the whole point.

I should also add this: I'm not advocating jailbreaking your Kindle®.  That goes against the terms of the user agreement that you agreed to the instant you heard the word "kindle".  No one here advocates or recommends jailbreaking any electronic device ever.  That includes putting 5318008 into a calculator and turning it upside down.  You will not find any help here on how to jailbreak your device (though I would be remiss if I didn't point out at this point the existence of every search engine ever invented).
