Almost Alice

At the end of the movie 'Alice in Wonderland', I heard that Avril Lavigne's song. It gives quite a contemporary rock feeling to the film. But her voice is quite annoying indeed.

I later found that there's a project called 'Almost Alice'. They invite a group of musicians to reinterpret the story by their music. Musicians include Franz Ferdinand, All-American Rejects, Plain White T's and some other indie bands. I am now listening to it and it is quite nice.

Give it a try, don't be fooled by the impression Avril Lavigne gave you. Her song is the worst on that album.

Alice in the Fashionland

Found a set of photos taken by Vogue in Dec 2003. It is a set of photos of 'Alice' with a bunch of fashion designers. The designers play roles in the story or take part in certain scenes. Tom Ford as the White Rabbit, falling into the rabbit hole with Alice. John Galliano as the Red Queen, getting angry with someone stealing her tart. Marc Jacobs as the Caterpillar, giving out wise advise. Jean Paul Gaultier becomes the Cheshire Cat, with those stripes on his body.

The best one is Tweedledum and Tweedledee, guess who play the role? Viktor & Rolf got it and they look nice.

I guess fashion designers like the story too.
