Fallen Princesses

A series of images from Vancouver photographer, Dina Goldstein, is creating quite a buzz online. Goldstein, a conceptual artist with a background in documentary photography, creates visual series that "place the mundane and everyday in unusual settings to inspire insight into the human condition." 

"'Fallen Princesses' is an ironic look at children’s parables, from Grimm fairy tales to Walt Disney," She shared with Yahoo! Canada News. "By placing iconic characters such as Little Red Riding Hood or Snow White in modern situations, the series became a commentary on such everyday scourges as poverty, obesity, cancer and pollution." 

"These works have been recognized for their metaphorical and ironical messages, which transcends cultural borders and have sparked much conversation and accolades from academics, editors and bloggers around the world."

Obsession # 3

a taste of FmyLIfe

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I cried and told him that I loved him. He gave me a quarter and told me to call someone who cared. I threw the quarter in his face and ran. I waited for the bus, but when I got on, I realized I was 25 cents short of the fare. I walked home in the rain. FML

Today, my mom walked in on me looking at a 1978 Playboy. She asked if I found it in the basement. I said yes. Then I realized she was the centerfold. FML

Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said “That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream.” FML

i may sound bad, but FmyLife is a great pick-me-up after a long bad day... you can check out more here
