Honestly, if someone asked me to dance and I didn't dislike like this person, I would dance. I would dance all night. I can't actually dance, dance, like people do today.

Every time I watch Pride and Prejudice, I always wish I could be one of the extras in the ball scenes. They wouldn't even have to pay me. Just let me dance.

15. Do you have an retelling recs for us to either watch or read?

The Lunar Chronicles
by Marissa Meyer

Once Upon a Time
a TV series

EVER AFTER
a Cinderella movie

Beauty

not exactly a retelling but a hilarious movie still

16. What is your favorite song from a Disney princess movie?

Er, I don't know. 

Um, I do like Be Our Guest from B&B, but I also like Be a Man from Mulan. Both unromantic songs. 

Okay, here's How Does She Know from Enchanted. I love that everyone drops what their doing to burst into song and dance in the middle of the park. The song transcends the fact that they're all strangers. What does that matter when there's a musical number to be performed? It's not going to sing itself.

Plus, the dude's reaction to it all is priceless. I guess I need to watch it again since I can't remember the dude's name. *hides face*

 By the way, I just found this quiz about which movie princess are you. It's kind of fun. I got Danielle from Ever After.

Have you attended Cinderella's Ball? How did you get on the quiz?
