Buzzfeed writer Katie Corvino recently gave the Disney princesses an unexpected makeover by giving them realistic body hair. The iconic princesses have undergone many different transformations over the years and now we are finally getting a glimpse of what they would look like if they had unkempt eyebrows and unshaven legs.
Using screenshots from iconic Disney films and a little bit of Photoshop, Corvino shows us what the princesses would look like if they didn’t have access to razors or waxing. Each scene depicts a different princess with subtle traces of realistic body hair. One image shows Ariel gasping at her unshaven legs, while another depicts Snow White with life-like arm hair. However, Corvino doesn’t limit her drawings to arm and leg hair. She also depicts certain princesses with unplucked eyebrows including Mulan and Rapunzel.
