And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Take A Trip to Disneyland Paris

Regardless of what Wikipedia and Disney have to say on how it was made, the video is superb.  The Disneyland Paris promo looks like a  clay-mation or "Rudolph" type movie, and the music that accompanies it has that old 1920's feel to it.

Pack your bags and get ready to enjoy a whirlwind trip via our new tilt-shift video, "A Magical Day at Disneyland Paris," and see just about everything The Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland Park has to offer. Read more at the Disney Parks Blog: Here


According to Wikipedia, "Tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene.  In simpler terms, Disney's blog states, "Tilt-shift videos like these use different photo angles, focus settings and color saturation adjustments to make the subject of a photo appear miniature. It took more than seven months and 4,000 photographs to produce this 2:38-minute clip."

I found the video fascinating, to say the least. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

They do look all so miniature. Pretty neat, though I think our first major vacation should be to universal studios instead.

"That is a really cool video...but I've been to Disney Paris and it sucked. Stick with Orlando. But the video did look sweet."
