A Little Fairy Magic

tinkerbell_snacksA little fun something while we’re all waiting to see if the Supreme Court will issue its marriage equality rulings today. I found this box of Disney-branded Kellogg’s fruit snacks at my local supermarket the other day—and was immediately struck by how  . . . umm . . . friendly Tinkerbell and her friend seemed. Just goes to show you how much I know about fairies.

Turns out that Periwinkle, on the left, is Tink’s sister—making her obvious close affection understandable, but not romantic. Prior to discovering this, my knowledge of Tink had stopped well before the Disney Fairies franchise (my son wasn’t into it), so perhaps it’s understandable that I was ready to show up at Tink’s next party in Pixie Hollow with an Indigo Girls’ CD and a bowl of hummus.

I guess I’m still excited by Disney’s growing gay inclusion, and eager for more. Some readers will remember Tink got some flack from a conservative writer a few years back for being too butch.

Or maybe I just have fairies on my mind as I’m waiting for the marriage ruling. Say it with me now: “I do believe in SCOTUS, I do believe in SCOTUS.”
