Fairy tales are a part of our desire for a beautiful life and to rise above our insecurities. They prove to us that dragons can be beaten, within or without. A physical disadvantage will never be an impediment when you allow your mind to dwell more on your strengths. Mandy Pursley has proved that even losing an arm did not come in the way of her desire for a happy life. She found inspiration in the tale of Cinderella and gave it an interesting twist. Instead of a pair of glass slippers, she wore a glass arm for her photoshoot.
Mandy Pursley found a way to circumvent her handicap and instead turn it into a cause for celebration. As she grew up with her disability, Mandy was always a bit lonely as she was different from all others around her.
