Hello Rose Garden!! This month's mailing is for Briar Rose or Sleeping Beauty as most of you may know her. This month's soap is a beautiful yellow color, almost flaxen if you look at it in the correct light. I am taking the story from Italy by Giambattisa Basile's "Sun, Moon and Talia".
*** Mature Content Follows. If you are not at least 18 years of age please stop reading now!!!!!!***
Talia gets a piece of flax stuck under her fingernail and falls down dead. A king finds her, has sexual relations with her and abandons her. (Yeah, necrophilia in a tale?! is what I thought as well but it gets weirder). Nine months later her babies are born and one sucks the flax from underneath her nail and Talia awakens. She names her babies Sun and Moon. The queen finds out (how I have no clue) and cosigns Talia to death but instead the queen herself dies (again, the story doesn't say how) and the rest live happily ever after. Honestly, would you want to marry a sicko who knocks you up and leaves you because he thought you were a corpse?! Yeah, me neither. Anyway, the soap smells divinely of lilies, lavender and gardenia. I tried to sweeten the smell because the story stinks. ;) :)
Next month is the last, Cindered - Ella and I can promise no babies out of wedlock or any necrophilia.
