I think the Rapunzel with extensions is a great idea. It meets the basic need of the modern fairy tale: taking the main "magical" points of the story, and giving them a realistic, modern solution. No girl has hair as long as Rapunzel, but it is easy to imagine a rich girl obsessed with hair ordering custom extensions of unbelievable lengths. Also, the tower she was locked away in in the story could translate to a very plush, but isolated, penthouse apartment. In the traditional telling of Rapunzel, the witch gets her as payment for allowing her parents to take from the witch's garden. Also, the witch is called "Mother Gothel," a German term for godmother. So to translate the witch into modern times, you could make her a stepmother, or legal guardian, or foster parent, etc., etc. She could be very overprotective, essentially keeping Rapunzel prisoner in the penthouse.

I also think the cell phone instead of a pea is a great modern twist! However, I can understand how you'd be stuck at this point, for the story of the Princess and the Pea is pretty simplistic, and doesn't provide a lot in the way of plot situations to tweak.

I'm not sure about Sleeping Beauty being an alcoholic - I think narcolepsy or being in a coma would be better modern twists.

Also, don't know if you've seen Ever After - it's definitely not a "modern" adaptation of Cinderella, but it's great for giving you ideas of how to take the "magical" elements of a fairy tale and turn them into realistic situations.

Good luck, hope these ideas help!!

Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty all these classic fairy tales are full of romance and happily ever afters!!!!

Swan Lake is very romantic. There once was a prince named Siegfried who was to marry a maiden soon since he would be crowned soon, too. Then he went hunting, met an enchanted princess named Odette who was forced to be a swan by day and a girl by night. He fell in love with her and as he was about to pledge his love to her (which would break her spell), the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart came out of his hiding place and took Odette away. Before she left, Siegfried told her to come to the ball at his castle where he would pledge his vow. Instead, Von Rothbart took his own daughter Odile and put a spell on her to look like Odette. Siegfried acidentally pledges to Odile instead of Odette and Von Rothbart reveals the truth. Odette will die. Siegfried rushes back to the lake and finds Odette. She forgives him, but Von Rothbart won't take it. Odette cannot stand this any longer so she leaps off of a ledge and dies. Siegrfied follows after her. After this, Von Rothbart dies from their act of sacrifice and love. The couple rises into the heavens in glory.
