Yes, Narnia icons! (Also, the Eilonwy one.) :)

It's been a very Narnia-weather day here today: feather-light snow, and blue-gold-white skies. I'll have to go to the park and feed chickadees sometime soon.

OT comment is OT!

It's likely you've seen this, but on the odd chance you haven't: The Princess Thesis Questionnaire.

From the first post:
"This community has been created so that I can collect information from voluntary participants for use in writing my thesis and thereby earn my Master's Degree in English Literature.

Here's the first paragraph to my thesis:

The fairy tale princess has been a primary focus of stories written for young girls for the past 3 centuries. Her presence can subtly (and sometimes not-so subtly) inform and educate future women on society’s expectations of them as well as providing an icon many women believe they must strive towards or fight against. What work is the fairy tale princess doing in our culture, especially as her significance pertains to women? Does she reinforce negative gender role stereotypes, expecting women to be obedient, quiet, beautiful, and only as good as the prince they catch? Does she reveal a “girl power” style positive stereotype, showing women that they can make the best of a bad situation and still come out on top? Or does she encompass some of both, or neither? The dissemination of the fairy tale princess icon via children’s literature is an area not often directly addressed in academic circles, yet for many people fairy tales represent “first contact” with literature as cultural force. The fact that this icon remains culturally viable suggests that the princess icon is still hard at work fulfilling a cultural need. So what cultural need is she fulfilling and how are readers seeking her, finding her, and using her as technological advances insist she evolves into new media options? " "

Seemed like something you'd be interested in, if you hadn't heard already. :)
