Where Can I Get Some Alice Around Here


Crystal S has some imaginative eye makeup inspired by the Cheshire Cat from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Something you might wear to a party.

If this Alice in Wonderland game for the Android is what I think it is, I'm still OK without an Android phone.

Disney has announced the release date for the DVD: June 1. Here is a list of the special features.

Bonus Features:

Standard DVD:
Finding Alice – It’s all things Alice. This featurette includes Tim Burton’s vision for the characters, differences from the book and Disney’s version of Alice and how she evolves as both a character and actor as she takes an adventure through Wonderland.

Rings and Feminism

Check out these cool rings on this Brazilian site (in Portuguese). They have mushroom rings, topiary rings, and even a Cheshire Cat ring. They look a bit impractical, but they're really beautiful.

An interesting article with a feminist take on Linda Woolverton's script for the Tim Burton movie. I think it's pretty interesting and worth a read. One of my favorite parts in the movie is where Alice makes friends with the Bandersnatch, and the author talks about that a little bit.

I mentioned this site before - Alice in Wonderland Challenge - which is an Alice in Wonderland inspired craft blog.
