Okay, I did a version of “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” for Rapunzel and called it “Mother, Could I Go Outside Please?”
Hope you liiiike it. ♥
Mother, could I go outside, please? Promise I won’t go very far I understand the world’s an evil place Just want one taste I’m stuck inside a jar Come on, you know I love you Very much What’s the worst it could do?
Mother could I go outside please? Just want to see the flowers and bees But I want to
Mother, could I go outside, please? I really think I need a change It’s getting boring painting all the time And reading nurs’ry rhymes That never seem to change
All I want’s to find the lights And know why they shine Who are they shining for?
Mother, could I go outside, please? Wait, wait, please, just hear me out I know, I know it really bothers you What I want to do To learn what life’s about
But I’ve been stuck inside this tower For eight-teen years Why won’t you understand?
Mother, could I just go outside, please?
HEART or REBLOG if you’re excited for Petals on the Wind on Memorial Day on Lifetime!

For its latest ad campaign, Banana Republic paired models with their real-life partners to capture “The true outfitters of modern American style.”
Among the couples are interior designers Nate Berkus and fiancé Jeremiah Brent, who in addition to being strikingly handsome in their vintage-inspired bomber jackets and woven knit sweaters, represent the campaign’s LGBT voice.
Though no longer models by trade, these two perfectly coifed men know how to work a camera. Lying casually together in the grass and snuggling cozily by the pool, these boys are madly in love with each other in an infectiously charming way.
Banana Republic is one of many national brands including Barneys, Chevrolet, Ray Bans, and Target who have featured LGBT models in prominent campaigns. However, unlike the other labels, the Banana has yet to receive flack from critics, due in part to its liberal customer base.
Here is the mission statement for the campaign:
"We began as outfitters. On safari. Full of adventure. Who knew that after all these years, we would discover a whole new generation of explorers that needed outfitting in a new way, who would insist on doing not what they should, but what they loved.”
Bravo, Banana Republic. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
