Clothed, Theater, Beauty and the Beast
DAVID 176
I don't know what it is about handsome princes. I think it all started when I saw Disney's "Sleeping Beauty". Prince Philip, even though he was an animated figure, was a stud. And believe it or not, even as a little kid, I loved the parts where he was tied up by the witch's goons and when he struggled in his chains.
Then it was Rodgers and Hammerstein's version of "Cinderella" with Stuart Damon as the Prince. I thought he was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen.
I always thought the prince should be formidable physically. It wouldn't do well to be in the ballroom or practicing your fencing barechested and have another guy who's bigger and stronger and better looking than you. Never really liked the boyish, pouty, flowery type with flowing locks. I think the prince should look like he could defend the lady, slay the dragon, kick the evil wizard's ass, and yet waltz you 'round the floor while the chandeliers whirl around his beautiful blue eyes and his big, strong hands and arms hold you softly.
