Cinderella, the alternate ending...

 Yep, an inward looking therapy post, full of angst and hidden meaning (or something like that!) man, I love the internet.

 Cinderella... the way it should have ended. lol, this is a story with balls, you can read into that whatever you like.

It's two minutes past midnight, the coach has turned back into a pumpkin, mice are scuttling around, whinnying (mice aren't too bright, they need time to adjust) Cindy is standing in her rags 'n tatters wondering wtf she's going to do with 600lbs of pumpkin, whether her wicked stepmother will enjoy pumpkin pie, mousse and pound cake or whether she'll be sent to the cellar in disgrace.

 Enter, the fairy godmother, who is an old fashioned tool of the patriarchy if you ask me.  She asks how the ball went, and the crucial question, did Cindy get her prince.

 Cinderella is a smart cookie, you wouldn't think so to look at her right now, but honestly this girl is going places.  She beats the fairy godmother over the head with her remaining glass slipper and when she's down, pinches the (pink, glittery, star on top, this is a fairytale y'know) magic wand.

 Five minutes and a bit of bibbity bobbity boo later and Poof (no pun intended, honestly) Cindy (Now Steve!) is reborn as a bad ass biker dude, he turns one of the mice into a (still whinnying, sheesh, dumb mice) motorbike and rides off to find his very own happy ever after.

 He leaves a very nice recipe for pumpkin cheesecake though, just in case, he's still concerned about recycling, food waste and his carbon footprint, and no, that does not make him a girl, so there.

 The end... maybe?

  2. Hi there!
    it's a pumpkin made from salt dough, a couple of halloweens ago. The base is a big ball of tinfoil with salt dough moulded around it, I baked them then painted them... did "sugar" skulls the same way.
