sleeping beauty connection

so if you know tay, you know she's totally obsessed with princess aurora from the disney classic sleeping beauty. she'll watch it several times in a row if you let her, she's that passionate about aurora. so imagine my delight when i come across this picture on the internet that now gives me a certain connection with one of my daughter's favorite things:

yes folks, that's david beckham as prince phillip in the scene where he slays malificent transformed as the dragon. in january, famed photographer annie liebovitz did this photo shoot to promo the campaign disney started, "year of a million dreams". (which was the theme when we visited disney world back in march-taylor emphatically chanted "dreams come true!!!" with the characters at the end of their show)

scarlett johansen and beyonce' knowles were also involved in the campaign. i really loved scarlett's picture...how she looked, the dress and just the way it flowed. anyways, you know i jumped all over sharing this picture with taylor! it was so funny...after i told tay about david's picture she looks a little confused and goes, "but where's princess aurora?" i replied, "you know where she is. where is princess aurora when prince phillip is fighting the dragon?" she points to the castle on the edge of the picture and says, "oh, she's sleeping in the castle. and then he goes to the castle to see her after he fights the dragon." i tell her, "yeah, that's right! isn't that so cool that david beckham is pretending to be prince phillip?" she giggles and agrees, "yeah, mama!"
