Adult Fairy Tales

Princess or prince costumes were suggested attire for the Oct. 31 edition of Friday Class as it featured Prof. Lay talking fairy tales with author Liz Gotauco.

Here’s the archive. 

Best known as The Cosbrarian, Gotauco rose to fame on Tiktok during the pandemic with her series F*cked Up Fairy Tales. In her offline life, she works as a children’s librarian in Rhode Island.

Online, it’s another story as she entertains thousands of fans with her characteristic charm and very cheeky sense of humor. She doesn’t just tell the stories, she makes them come alive because she’s a multifaceted woman, just like all the characters she plays.

Gotauco has a strong background in theater and arts, so it’s no surprise how she can put a spell on young and old with her stories. She’ll share with Prof. Lay’s class her experiences in as a librarian, her favorite stories and the process to create her videos.

She also discussed her just-published book, F*cked Up Fairy Tales: Sinful Cinderellas, Prince Alarmings and Other Timeless Classics (W. W. Norton & Company), which reinforces why fairy tales are not just for kids.
