Fairytales and Break-Dancing in the Woods

Naturally, I was just daydreaming about fairytales. You know you do it, too. That is, unless your name is Jon. You dream about those beautiful, timeless stories of princes with perfect hair, ferocious dragons guarding the tallest tower, love at first sight, and break-dancing in the woods with a quite handsome, but complete stranger.
If you're up to date on your fairytale book reading, you'll be well-aware that I'm referencing the literary and animated masterpiece that is Sleeping Beauty. Since Sleeping Beauty was one of my favorite princesses, it was inevitable that Prince Philip would also wind his way into my heart. And with good reason, too. Being just as alluring as Cinderella's Prince Charming himself, Prince Philip also has the knight-like bravery to face a devious dragon, the gallantry to save the damsel in a deep sleep, and some killer good looks, just for kicks. Seriously. How could you not just love the guy?  
Charles Perrault and Walt Disney sure knew what they were doing. :) And for that, we joyfully thank them.


At last, here's the heroic, storybook Prince Philip that we all know and love.

And the utterly enthralling young man, who could quite possibly be our modern-day Prince Philip. Minus the noble steed and funny hat.
