Ep 40, S3: Sorrow and Splendor: Leslie Moore Lives Happily Ever After
Episode description
The mysterious beauty Leslie Moore is the subject of this Anne’s House of Dreams character study. Ragon and Kelly discuss the myths and metaphors surrounding Leslie, and whether she is properly humanized in the text. Digressions include Favorite Things parties, how to talk to kids about stereotypes in media, and the tragic beauty trope.
Inspired By:
Kelly is inspired by Leslie’s style and recommends red flower choker-style necklaces like this gorgeous one from Free People.
Ragon is inspired by the beautiful fairytale retellings by Robin McKinley, especially Beauty and Rose Daughter for Beauty and the Beast retellings and Deerskin for a darker fairytale about the curse of being beautiful. And don’t forget Spindle's End for a Sleeping Beauty retelling.
