Miniatures and Other Alice Things

Norwegian Miniature artist Christel Jensen created this very cool miniature Alice in Wonderland Tea Party. Click the link for many more pictures. Jensen's site is very cool, although I have to admit that I'm a sucker for miniatures. Look at these cakes!!! How does she do it?

My dear readers, now that I'm not posting every day, I have a SERIOUS BACKLOG.
Here are some beautiful Alice in Wonderland themed cards.
Interesting White Rabbit candle stick.

Alice Department Store Windows in the US and France

French store Printemps let some designers go wild designing dresses for an Alice in Wonderland themed display.

Over here in the US, Bloomingdale's has unveiled its Alice in Wonderland windows. See more here on Racked. Via

Having looked at both, I have to say that Printemps has Bloomingdales beat hands down. Incidentally, Wicked Halo has more Alice in Wonderland related stuff here, here, and here.

Alice Live Ultimate Fan Event Recap

Unfortunately, my "real life" got in the way of watching the Alice in Wonderland live event that happened on Friday. Apparently, 400,000 viewers showed up to watch the show, which streamed live via the Alice in Wonderland MySpace page. Fan Site mia-wasikowska.net has more photos of the live event.

Check out this cool Alice-inspired jewelry.

Disney has released a limited edition (or 500) Alice in Wonderland mouse ear hat.

The LA Times Blog goes into further detail of the growing friction between the movie theaters and Disney over when the DVD release of Alice in Wonderland will happen. It looks like AMC may join the boycott. A petition has been started which basically takes the position of the theaters. You can sign the petition here.

Things are Heating up for Alice

As March draws closer (it's only a month and a half away) more news items relating to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland are appearing. This latest is a line of Alice-inspired clothing by designer Sue Wong. More info is available here at the Disney Blog.

Publisher Dynamite is releasing a hard cover graphic novel adaptation of Alice in Wonderland due out in February of 2010. Apparently this is an adaptation which tried to stay true to the original Lewis Carroll tale. It is available for pre-order on Amazon. Complete Alice In Wonderland Volume 1: Alice's Adventures

Fast Week is Really Slow

Fast Week is really slow. Or is it? Things seem to be really slow. It's probably the holidays. What we have here is kind of old news, but I've been saving it for just this kind of event. That is, no event at all. Happy noevent! This here is a page of awesome photos from a Tim Burton inspired photoshoot that appeared in Vogue Korea.

On the Alice 2010 OPI Nail Polish front, this person here was disappointed with the color range and made her own "Frankenstein" Cheshire Cat nail color.

Lots of New Alice Gear and Art

It's really amazing when I can report something relevant to the Tim Burton move, Alice 2010, and today I have something to report. Not that I'm excited. It's a little hard to get very excited about nail polish. A while back I reported here that Disney is working with designers and manufacturers to come out with a slew of Alice in Wonderland 2010 related products. It looks like the first of the bunch will be OPI nail polish. OPI Nail Polish on Amazon Via.

 Not related to the Tim Burton film - well KIND OF not related. Seeing as how 2010 will be the year of Alice. Mezco is accepting pre-orders for some Living Dead Dolls In Wonderland toys. Click here for Mezco Toys on Amazon.

Japanese Poster and Charm Bracelet

It's going to be nearly impossible to beat the Queen of Hearts and Alice costumes from yesterday, and I'm not going to try. At the same time, here are some cool things.

I'm probably the millionth site to post this, but here it is. The Japanese poster for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Next up, a nice charm bracelet from Cherished Trinkets.

Charm Bracelets for an Unbirthday

This post is nowhere near my birthday and will not be charming. Drink your tea and don't forget to move to the left or right, depending. Here is a song by Pogo to enjoy your unbirthday to:



It seems there are a lot of Alice in Wonderland choices when it comes to charm bracelets.

First there are Italian charm bracelet links like the Mad Tea Party links above. It looks like you can get different links (not just Alice), but yes including Alice in Wonderland links, and then swap them in and out of the charm bracelet.

Next up there are four different charm bracelet charms that are more like what I think of when I imagine a charm bracelet. They have the Queen of Hearts pictured above, White Rabbit, Alice herself, and Cheshire Cat. Strangely, the only way to get the Mad Hatter is to get the five in one bracelet.

Finally, for those who really want to go over the top, there is the "Ultimate Disney Classic Link Charm Bracelet".

Alice Fan Art and Disney's Cook "Ousted"

Amazing Disney fan art by Boy Wonder with some Alice in Wonderland scenes. A Tea Party and a Card Soldier painting the roses. I wasn't able to investigate very closely, but it looks like this is work for some kind of internet challenge - so maybe there's more by other people?

Disney studio head Dick Cook, who worked at Disney a stunning 38 years and started out as a tour operator, no longer works there. Most obvious fall-out - Pirates of the Caribbean.

Interesting make-up job: Mad Hatter.

Alice goes Peaches. Peaches!

File this under "Alice Mania" which is my new term for how everyone is going Alice. Peaches Geldof, one of Bob Geldof's daughters, appears in an Alice in Wonderland themed fashion photo shoot in the October issue of the UK magazine, Company. More pictures here.

Find herein linked an offhandedly blistering review of Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ouch. I'm posting it mostly because the information about Fairy Tales and author Roald Dahl is very interesting.

Saturday is Fashion Day for Alice

I don't normally post on Saturdays, but due to the buzz surrounding Disney's D23 Expo, there has been a flurry of news lately.

First some fun Alice in Wonderland inspired art. We have here a re-enactment of when the croquet invitation is handed to the Duchess' Frog Footman by the Queen's Fish Footman.

A very nicely done baby room. Check out the murals. I especially like the Cheshire Cat in the upper left corner. June's Room.

Designed Whitney Eve says they are AiW inspired fashions but I just don't see it. Maybe somebody can tell me what exactly screams Wonderland here?

According to the Kerrang! website, Ville Valo, frontman for the band HIM, is penning a track for the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack. How exciting! I hadn't even thought about soundtracks yet (except Danny Elfman.)

The LA Times has more news and information from Disney's D23 Expo. Apparently, Burton corrected Disney exec Cook on two points and the Times is being all "Ooo. Snap!" about it. How dreadful.

There is more news no doubt, but I am late for a very important date.

Real Alice 2010 News Today

Dear Reader, I hate to complain to you, but it seems like REAL news about Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland 2010 is rather scarce. And so it warms my ears and whiskers to tell you that there is an informative interview with Tim Burton here. Alice in Wonderland is discussed as well as the Mad Hatter and the (now infamous) trailer leak.

Also Alice in Wonderland photos from Disney's D23 Expo are coming in!!! Click here for: photos of props, photos of posters, and more props.

Finally, very old but still fun Anne Hathaway photos from W magazine and a brief bio here.

There is No News this Friday

Alice is the New Black:

Disney has formally announced merchandising plans for Alice in Wonderland-inspired jewelry and fashions. See article here.



Here is some news about the Tom Binns Alice in Wonderland jewelry line...

The Helena Bonham Carter fansite is hosting a look-alike contest so break out your costumes and submit a photo. But you don't look like Helena Bonham Carter? No sweat. They're also accepting look-alike entries of other Alice in Wonderland characters.

Here is an interview with British comedian Matt Lucas, who will be playing Tweedledee and Tweedledum in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland 2010.

I'm not sure who this is but they have Alice in Wonderland stamps of the Sir John Tenniel sort.

A nice sketch of Alice about to meet the Queen of Hearts.

And Now a Break from Our Alice

Is anybody else here excited about the movie coming out next week, 9? I'm planning to see it on the opening night. I can justify drooling over it on this Alice in Wonderland 2010 blog because Tim Burton produced it. Although, the way he put it was that he did everything he could to make it so the director could make the film in peace. Here is some 9 News. Here is the official site.

OK Back to Alice. Here are some more Alice-inspired fashions.
