ALICE IN WONDERLAND

                          Oysters and Pussy

I can't think of another book ever published that attracted and still attracts so much attention from writers and artists. The recent films of Alice in Wonderland (good) and Through The Looking Glass (crap) are good examples. Reviews of the latter are universally bad. I saw it late last year on an A380 Airbus - Businss Class -  and was appalled. Even five glasses of Moet and Chandon failed to take the edge off this rubbish. I assumed Tim Burton had had another brain explosion but I apologise to Tim because the Director was James Bobin, althoug TB was a Producer and should have been keeping an eye on Bobin.
Anyway, Alice continues to inspire. Pinterest has near to 10,000 boards dedicated to her illustrations, many of which are in dubious taste but nevertheless often executed by very talented hands. Arthur Rackham gave us good Alice. Don't forget ballet and stage musicals and such.
Do we believe those stories about Dodgson and his possible attraction to little Alice Liddell, she of the long hair and shy demeanour? I write of the unsavoury suggestions that ill-wishers put forward from time and time, and have for a long time, wanting find scandal for their own purient pleasure. These people would also find fault with Judy Garland and Lindsay Lohan. 
I've put some pictures below to illustrate the talents of artists who wish to depict Alice. There are at least anothe twenty billion on the Web.

  

 

You all remember the oysters I'm sure and her pussy's name was Dinah I think.
