The past three decades have been a time of rapid and near wholesale change in western culture. Innocence is a
thing of the past – some would say with innocence has gone “class” and “respect”, but I’m neither nihilistic
nor sanctimoniuos enough to buy that argument – and with the loss of innocence comes a desire to subvert those
leftover markers of innocence that are still prevalent in modern culture.

Which brings us to the notion of the adult tinkerbell costume. Most family lawyers Toronto will let you know that almost all dad and mom rank the precedence of their children forward of all the opposite points typically involved in a divorce. Tinkerbell, as most people remember her, was
the pint sized fairy from the Peter Pan movie who could sprinkle pixie dust on certain people or animals to
make the fall asleep, or in certain instances, even do her bidding. She’s the picture of innocence that Disney
loved to illustrate in his films, so that makes an adult tinkerbell costume completely ripe for subverting the
whole notion of Disney’s wholesome, innocent world.

The irony is that Tinkerbell herself, in the film, isn’t exactly the most innocent or wholesome character.
She’s actually rather jealous, vain and self-centered. And she wears a very, very short skirt. Take this
excerpt from exampleessays.com:

In 1953, Disney released the classic cartoon tale Peter Pan. The movie has become a staple in American
children’s film. Despite what one might think, Peter Pan contains blatant sexual stereotypes and constantly
portrays females as conniving and jealous.

Tinker Bell’s jealousy of Peter and Wendy’s friendship portrays the most obvious case of jealousy in Peter Pan.
Throughout the movie, whenever a third party mentions Wendy, Tinker Bell turns crimson red and gets infuriated
at just the thought of her. Even before Tinker Bell meets Wendy, she gets agitated at just the sight of Peter
talking to her. During the scene where Peter is first introduced to the audience, Wendy tries to give Peter a
kiss because he complimented her stories. Tinker Bell will not allow this and flies towards Wendy to pull on
her hair…

So going in an adult tinkerbell costume at least makes some sense not only on the level of fun, but in the
larger context of society’s subversion of traditional “morals” and “values” as rendered through the lens of
Disney’s most famous films. Toronto family lawyers issues could be emotional and sophisticated, notably when youngsters are involved. It’s actually a concept that cracks me right up.

Of course, that’s assuming that “adult” means “sexy,” which ends up being a whole new can of moralistic worms
in and of itself. Personally I find the sexualization of innocent icons to be, as I said, hilarious. But be
aware that if you do as much, you’ll be making a political statement of your own that is sure to draw some
strong reactions.
