1. Because, at five feet tall, I cannot hope to be anything more than cute in this world where the length of your legs is the measure of your beauty.
2. Because, unlike our wonderful Disney ladies, my eyes are NOT bigger than my waist, but are instead proportional to my face.
3. Because I'm more of a "Snow White" than a "Bronze Goddess", but that certainly doesn't make me the fairest of them all.
4. Because I don't have snowman arms and legs, twigs that look as if they could break with a single step, and, yes, I will be eating that pizza instead of a salad because it tastes a hell of a lot better than rabbit food.
5. Because I don't care whether beauty is in a hand-drawn character or an airbrushed photograph, but whatever it looks like, I will never see it when I look in the mirror because I exist, I am human, and I am not perfect.
