Side Cinderella {or: “Two Princes”}

Cinderella is looking for her shoe.

It got lost on the day of September 29, in the midst of an outdoor adventure somewhere in Turkey.

The day started with sunny 22°C at 7.35am when Cinderella rushed for breakfast. A couple of blinis and a cup of coffee later, Cinderella gathered her skirt and ran for her pumpkin carriage. A bumpy ride through magical forests, over lonesome sand dunes and past mystical creatures lead her to a mysterious castle, hidden in the mountains. The place cast a spell on Cinderella. She wanted to get there and swapped her pumpkin carriage for a floating raft since conquering the river would be the fastest way to reach the castle.

But the white water rapids were relentless and the water, as crystal clear as morning dew, felt almost frozen on Cinderella’s porcelain skin. When one extra hazardous wave caught the raft, Cinderella got covered at high tide and her shoes were washed away. One brave knight in shining armour returned the princess’ left shoe, but the right one remained missing up to this late day. (Cinderella was forced to wear another shoe, found by a nearby pathway, and hence made a fool of herself.)

One, two princes who would like to return Cinderella’s shoe, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter or by leaving a comment below. (Need to live in a pretty castle with horses and cats. And need to like Rock’n’Roll. And need to be nice. And handsome would be good, too. And funny. No further requirements stated.)

“Yeeeeeaaaahhhh…. one, two princes kneel before you, that’s what I said now, princes, princes who adore you….” 

Keep calm and count to ten and don’t cry | WEEKEND WIND UP #25

The song most suitable to my mood this weekend would probably be “Hate My Life” by Theory of a Deadman.

Or “Nobody’s Fool” by Cinderella.

Something along those lines anyway.

But to keep my positive attitude (just in the spirit of “Keep calm and carry on”) towards the little things that make your life harder, here are two messages:

Not good enough?

Hm…

Maybe then only the real “Keep calm and carry on”-motto helps…

If you think so, you can go to this website and have a play with this tool that allows you to create your own “Keep calm and…”- message.

I actually haven’t tried it myself yet (so much to do, so little time), but I’m looking forward to hear about your experiments with it, so make sure to share your results!
