HannahGrace was super excited to learn that Disney bought Star Wars for $4 billion dollars, making Princess Leia the most autonomous and basdass Disney princess ever! However, she was also a little grossed out that Gwen Stefani (who is usually awesome) chose to dress as Hurricane Sandy for Halloween. Yes, the Grease costume was cute. The bullet wound and neck gash? Less so, considering the storm actually killed 75 people.
