Alice, Lolita & Cie

Helloooooooow everybowdy !

( Imagine with a wonderful french accent XD)

I went to watch Lolita communities on LJ and some lolita blogs.
At this time THE subject of meetings, reviews, etc is " Alice in Wonderland" by our dear Mr. Tim Burton.

Well, first, I love T.B's work, it's a great realisator, everytime good casting, good subjects and his own point of view of the world is very delicious . Lol

For this "célébration" Lolitas dressed up in .. ALICEEEEEEEEE.
Of course, like some are very imaginative it's " blonde with sax blue dress and black shoes" ....

Yes but NO xD.
Because this "look" it's only because of the disney movie ...
The real Alice, Alice Liddel was brown and like the lil' girl at this time and she was wearing 1850's dresses, crinolines for women so.

Why Alice is so popular for lolita ?
And which Alice ? The Alice of L.Caroll ? Or Disney ?
A mix of the both I think; A.Liddel because of her Victorian style ? And the blonde Alice because of her childish side ? And the both the irreal and psechedelic world.

When I was 16 years old I worked on the both volumes of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Loking Glass.
Children's literature ? I think no. Not at all.
It's like the Perault's tales.
It's to convey a message to adults through children's stories.
(yes because who is reading tales for children before to sleep ? :p)
Perault, it was especially to denounce the reality.
In Alice it's more philosophical and mathematic.
Maybe a bit utopic.
But I admit it's a bit hard to me to speak about it because I don't remember good XD
I read it in ENGLISH, so when you've 4/20 in english ... it's not easy lol.
(But I'm better now XD I'm 19 ! XD)
