I've never thought about it before but you're right, French women do look a bit like Alice - in a way. <br />I love how you point out so many little details that I seem to overlook.

I like unexpected combinations, and at first it did seem interesting and creative to combine school girl hair bows with, say, black lace bras. But, um, er, if no one else is going to say it.... Well, I'm wondering about the revival -- or continuation -- of the two main stereotypes of woman as helpless child, and as seductive, manipulative femme fatale (literally, "deadly woman"). Now, in order to save time or something, we have them fused into one entity, or ensemble at any rate.... Not sure how helpful this is sociologically....<br /><br />Any one out there agree, or shall I just lighten up (or, heaven forfend) shutten up?Shelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-9521612505433334552010-03-17T14:46:58.601-04:002010-03-17T14:46:58.601-04:00Alice...

They do not have the Alice in Wonderland ride like I was used to growing up in Anaheim. They had "Alice's Curious Labyrinth". It was a full sized maze that you walk through and see all the Alice characters (speaking French naturellement) The Queen of Hearts rages, "COUPEZ SA TETE!!!" At the end of the maze is the Queen of Hearts castle which you climb to the top and get a spectacular view of the entire park. They were celebrating their 10th anniversary at the time so there were parades and special shows.
