What up with the Alice in Wonderland obsession?

[krystalhartley]

I've seen several kits, and my 13 y/o daughter wants to be Alice for Halloween. I missed the memo on this...why all of the sudden interest?

On a side note, I think I love that Faith True called her kit Day Tripper. So appropriate. LOL

LOL I saw that kit this morning, and I have no idea what the interest is in it. Though I think I read recently they are doing a movie and Mr. Johnny Depp will be the Mad Hatter (I think? LOL)

Did someone say Johnny?

One of the finalists of Project Runway did an AIW inspired line too. I've never read it or seen the movie. Huh.

I don't know either, but Faith's kit is adorable. I used it for a completely non-Alice type LO. HERE (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/inspiration/showphoto.php?photo=64985&ppuser=1499)

I read the book in third grade. Maybe I was a little young, but I do remember thinking the author was definitely tripping! I think I was only familiar with weed at the time...I remember watching my mom roll joints with her friend (when I was about 6). Nice, huh?

oh, thanks for that, Mandy. I needed that this morning!

I don't know why Alice is back in fashion, but these things do seem to go in cycles -- Hello Kitty is popular again with older girls too.

Back off haters! Alice is a star. You know, Dani and I have our very own 'Wonderland' inspired kit too. :)
