Her Eyes, Her Eyes...

I think I've discovered the way to capture a man's heart.  No, really.  DISNEY SHOWED ME THE WAY.  It is all about the EYES.  If you use them right, the man is yours.  So.  Let's make a fun list to share what I've learned.

From Disney's Robin Hood (1973)
We all remember the scene where Robin and Marian meander through the romantic Sherwood Forest.  Remember how she looks at him?  Remember how she bats those eyelashes?  Remember how he asks her to marry him?  This vixen knew what to do and how to entrance him.

From Disney's The Jungle Book (1967)
The water girl.  Does she have a name?  Is her voice too mature for her?  Is she better at flirting than I am even though she is AT LEAST 12 years my junior?  Are these questions getting worse and worse?  Yes.  But the fact of the matter is: she may be 10 years old (or younger!), but she knows that batting her eyelashes casually will get her what she wants: a wild and scantily clad wolf/boy/child.  He forsakes his WHOLE life for her, all because she wordlessly beckoned with her eyes and eyelashes.  She's so talented.

From Disney's The AristoCats (1970)

Duchess was a classy lady cat.  She was beautiful and charming, and luckily for her, she had amazing sapphire blue eyes that were not so much meant for seeing things as they were meant to entrance the opposite sex.  Remember that scene where O'Malley just stares at her eyes and they're all sparkly...and then she slowly and seductively bats her eyelashes???  Yeah, I remember that too.  And just. like. that. O'Malley was hers forever.  Are you starting to see the pattern here?

Gah!  She's so perfectly coy!

From Disney's Cinderella (1950)

Oh Cinderella.  That girl knew what was UP!  She batted those eyes at everyone!  And she mastered the slow blink, which is basically the same thing, which I'm pretty sure got her the beautiful dress...from her fairy godmother...who is a WOMAN.  Those eyes, though.  They can make miracles happen (or dreams come true, as it were).

BOOM.  Got a dress.

BOOM.  Got a prince.

What is the moral of the story, then?  What, in summation, has Disney taught me?

BAT. YOUR. EYES.  Do it every chance you get.  Practice in the mirror.  Practice on your friends.  Practice on your ex, if you must.  Flutter those eyelashes with every ounce of feminine power you possess and soon enough, you'll have the man of your dreams...and everything else you ever wanted.  I'm pretty sure that's the subliminal message Disney was trying to send me.
