SEXY GLAM

MAGAZINE - MARCH 2015

According to Disney: Upset by her step-daughter’s

beauty, a wicked stepmother orders a huntsman to take

her young daughter out into the woods and kill her,

bringing back her heart. The huntsman can’t do it, and

lets Snow White escape into the forest. She finds a

tiny house where singing dwarves, all named for their

defining characteristics, live. They decide to let her

stay, to keep house for them.

The wicked queen finds out, via her magic mirror, that

Snow White isn’t dead, and sets out to kill her with

a poisoned apple. Though the dwaves get revenge by

driving the queen off the edge of a cliff, they can’t

wake Snow White… until a passing prince comes and

awakens her with true love’s kiss. And then they live

happily ever after.

But originally: In the first edition of the story, it wasn’t

a wicked step-mother at all. It was Snow White’s

mother. And she didn’t just want Snow White’s heart –

she wanted her lungs and liver, too. When she discov-

ers that the huntsman hasn’t killed the girl, she sets out

to try to kill her in three different ways: with an overly

tight corset, with a poisoned comb, and finally with

a poisoned apple. It’s not true love’s kiss that revives

Snow White, it’s a good shake, as the prince attempts

to make off with Snow White’s glass coffin – and the

queen doesn’t get pushed off a cliff, she’s forced to

dance herself to death in a pair of red-hot iron shoes.

Ouch.
