I only recently found out that Cruella’s character was reportedly based on The One, The Only, The Fiercest of The Fierce: Tallulah Bankhead.

About The Emperor’s New Groove: originally, Owen Wilson recorded the David Spade part. Let us all bow our heads for a moment to mourn what could have been.

I also feel this post is a safe space for me to ‘fess up, one of the first things I did when unleashed on to the internoodles was write a fan email to Eartha Kitt.

Maleficent and Philip…you just know they had some kinky BDSM thing going on the side.

For a few brief seconds, Disney actually had a Barbie-sized version of the Wicked Queen from Snow White. I was meeting a bunch of people for dinner, but by gum, I stopped and bought that doll FIRST. And brought it inside with me. And everyone felt perfectly free to point out that, as a matter of fact, it looked Just. Like. Me.

Well, duh. It took DECADES for me to find a doll that looked like me, in a world of blue-lidded blondes. I even bought a little heart to put in the box! (one of W.Q.’s “accessories”).

Maleficent is an appropriate mention for this blog, as she is wearing a houppelande that would have been the height of fashion in late 14th century Northern Europe. (Even her headdress would not have been out of place, if you look at the helmet-horned ladies from that era). I know this because I have one that was custom-made by an talented, slightly obsessed seamstress. (or am I being redundant?)

I guess Plumcake is relaxing her strictures against SCA/RenFaire costumes, if they are worn with the proper fierce attitude.

During my 3rd senior year at college, my BFF (a fabulous big-girl-at-the-time who totally reminds me of Plumcake) hosted a Disney villains party for Halloween. She was Cruella and I was Ursula. Yet, neither of us had the best costume. That prize went to a guy friend who showed up as Maleficent. I think with the horns, he was pushing 7 feet tall.

[...] says, Miss Plumcake spells it out for you: Like, sometimes you’ve had a hard year. Let’s say you’ve had problems with your convertible [...]

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who appreciated the genius that is Yzma (and, really, the whole movie except for David Spade). The EYELASHES, people. And the feather hats that she flicked down for improved aerodynamics on the roller coaster. Amazing. Definitely the most witty movie Disney’s made in recent memory.

Yzma all the way. Although Plumcake has a point: not only is she not scary, she’s not even really a villan.

I mean, she only wants to kill David Spade. If that’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
