Tangled Up

Ever wondered why my love for Tangled is so passionate? Well, I'm about to tell you why I'm so tangled up in Tangled.

I have always been a fan of Tangled believe it or not. I put off watching it for a good two-three years until last year when I watched it for the first time. When I first began sixth-form (a-levels) I was so stressed about everything I managed to get myself ill and had to take three days off. In those three days I distinctly remember the smell of boiled leeks, leek and potato soup, and watching almost every Disney film there was on Sky Demand. After watching almost every Disney Princess film there was to watch, I turned to Tangled. 

To begin with, it was just another Disney film, I mean I adored it I felt it was brilliant and I was so annoyed at myself for putting off watching it for so long. As time progressed, I realised that I had been watching Tangled on repeat almost weekly. There was something about the story, the romance, the songs; that drew me in and never let go.


But, it wasn't just the story, the romance and the songs that drew me in. It was the meanings hidden in the quotes that touched me. Above is a photo of the Kingdom's symbol - The Magic Golden Flower. I could give you an essay as to why this symbol means so much to me, but I've condensed it into a paragraph.

I've always been scared to go out into the world and be someone who I keep hidden away, the person you see in my YouTube videos. "Venture outside your comfort zone, trust me the view is worth it." - Flynn Rider to Rapunzel. The Magic Golden Flower, to me, is a symbol of adventure and crossing the barriers that stop me from being the person I want to be and enjoying the life that I want to have. I've always been told, this is this and that is that, but Tangled taught me what if this is that and that is this? 

In my mind, I am Rapunzel, and I'm slowly making the effort to leave my tower.


Um, yeah. 

I literally am Rapunzel.

I gathered together the parts for this cosplay for many reasons. The most upcoming is my last day of sixth-form, which will be on the 22nd May 2015. I will be strolling around dressed as Rapunzel, throwing glitter everywhere, blowing bubbles in people's faces and threatening to beat people up with my frying pan. 

Seeing as sixth-form was the place that "introduced" me to Tangled it only seems fitting that when I leave the tower (there is multiple "towers" in my story, they all talk about accomplishing fears) that is sixth-form I shall do it as Rapunzel.
If you wish to see my transformation into Rapunzel, well I did a cosplay video on my YouTube channel (surprise, surprise...) and you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPDqSoZqTrc

Catch you all next time.

'The Black Pearl' Candle by Maple & Whisky

Image
"Yo ho, yo ho - a pirates life for me..." Ever since I was little, my favourite ride has always been the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland Paris. I've been obsessed with the franchise since I was about nine, when I was given all the films for Christmas.  When I heard a Etsy shop by the name of Maple and Whisky were creating Disney-inspired candles, I jumped at the chance to purchase one.  And so I did! I decided to treat myself to their newest candle, The Black Pearl . As pictured above, I bought myself the smaller addition in the 8oz jar (larger being 12oz) for only £8.30. All candles are handmade to order, and the company gives you the option of two different wicks and waxes.  I got mine custom made with a woodwick and a paraffin soy blend wax. The paraffin soy blend wax gives the candle a really powerful fragrance which makes the musky scent even more alluring and tasteful.  " You've seen a ship with black sails, th...
