Rapunzel in 5-7-5
Rapunzel—there’s another disturbing fairy tale. A hidden tower with no stairs, the only access a high window that you could reach by grabbing onto the heroine’s hair?? Tangled, the new Disney musical retelling of Rapunzel, avoids the unanswerable questions (How does she shampoo? Won’t her neck snap when someone rappels with her hair?) in favor of a brisk story of a girl escaping from her horribly manipulative mother.
We’re giving away 5 Tangled paper lamp shades (like they have in the movie). To get one, tell the story of Rapunzel in haiku form (3 lines, 5-7-5 syllables).
Example:
Princess Rapunzel
Has a really big problem
with conditioner.
Post your entry in Comments by Wednesday, February 2 at 0200hrs. The winners will be announced on Wednesday night.
Tangled opens on Feb 2 in Digital IMAX 3D (SM North EDSA & SM Cebu), Digital 3D and regular 35MM format.

And the princed climbed not knowing
Her hair’s full of lice.

But alas, she’s bald!
