Once upon a curse, in a land far away, there lived a young princess named Aurora. She was known for her beauty and kind heart, and her kingdom adored her. However, she was cursed at birth by an evil sorceress who was angered that she was not invited to the grand celebration. The curse stated that Aurora would prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her 16th birthday and fall into an eternal sleep. The sorceress cackled with satisfaction, confident that her curse would bring misery to the kingdom. Aurora's parents, the king and queen, were devastated by the curse but determined to protect their daughter.
Her eyes are a striking blue with lines radiating out from the pupil. There's some sort of squiggles around the outer edge of the iris but I can't make out what they are. Part of me wants them to be numbers so she has clock eyes, but ALL the princesses have these eyes so I don't think that's the case. they're just squiggles.
A shame, clock face eyes would have been awesome.
In fact, she can t actually sit properly and due to the bend in her legs from packaging combined with the tightness of her dress, her legs spring into this annoying one foot in front of the other pose constantly. The Witchy Princesses Adventure is a 5 episode virtual storytelling webseries based on the Witchy Princesses line released by MGA entertainment as part of the Bratzillaz collection.
Aurora's parents, the king and queen, were devastated by the curse but determined to protect their daughter. They banned all spinning wheels from the kingdom and hid Aurora away in a secluded tower. The royal couple hoped that by keeping her safe, they could prevent the curse from coming true.
Angelica Sound Bratzillaz Witchy Princess – With Pink Hair!
I am pleased to introduce my new Bratzillaz Witchy Princess doll, Angelica Sound. Before I write about her I have to confess I've never been a fan of Bratz dolls. I've never purchased one, or owned one. They just don't interest me. But while browsing the doll aisles in K-Mart the other day I saw this pink haired cutie peeking at me and she was on sale. If you read my blog you may remember that recently I gathered some of my pink haired dolls for a photo shoot. Turns out I've got several, enough to be considered a collection I think. So when I saw this Bratzillaz doll I was intrigued enough to take a chance on her. You can price her on Amazon here:
Years later, on Aurora's 16th birthday, the kingdom was in celebration. It seemed that the curse had been forgotten, and joy filled the air. Aurora's parents decided to throw a grand ball in her honor, inviting everyone in the kingdom. Unbeknownst to Aurora, a young prince named Phillip had received word of the curse and was determined to save her. He rode through the kingdom, searching for the tower where she was kept. As the day wore on, Aurora couldn't resist the temptation to explore the castle. She stumbled upon a room she had never seen before, where an old spinning wheel sat in the corner. Intrigued, she approached it, unknowingly fulfilling the curse. As Aurora pricked her finger, a wave of darkness swept through the castle. The guests at the ball froze in their tracks, and the castle fell into a deep sleep. Aurora's parents rushed to her side, heartbroken at their inability to protect her. Just as all hope seemed lost, Prince Phillip arrived at the castle. Determined to break the curse, he fought through the enchanted forest and battled the sorceress. With true love's kiss, he awakened Aurora from her deep slumber. As Aurora's eyes fluttered open, the curse was broken, and the castle came alive once more. The kingdom rejoiced at the return of their beloved princess and welcomed Prince Phillip as a hero. From that day forward, Aurora ruled with kindness and grace, never forgetting the love and sacrifice that had saved her. The curse had taught her the power of true love and the importance of inner strength. Once upon a curse, a tale of darkness turned into a story of love and hope. It reminded the kingdom that even in the face of evil, love could conquer all. And so, their happily ever after began..
