 Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK 

 

Chapter 12 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "Which dreamed it." The last chapter opens with Alice rubbing her eyes and chastising Kitty, the black kitten. Alice is convinced Kitty was with her in the Looking-glass world and decides Kitty was, in fact, the Red Queen. She further decides that Snowdrop, the white kitten, was the White Queen and her cat, Dinah, was Humpty Dumpty. Then she comes to the crucial issue: "who it was that dreamed it all?" This was the question she'd pondered when she first encountered the sleeping king and had a discussion with Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Now she decides, "it must have been either me or the Red King. He was part of my dream, of course—but then I was part of his dream, too!"

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
