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

Chapter 5 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "Wool and Water." In this chapter, Alice finds herself in a shop where she encounters the White Queen, who is wrapped in a shawl made of living wool. The White Queen engages in a series of nonsensical and impossible actions, such as believing in six impossible things before breakfast, and she shares a bizarre conversation with Alice. The chapter is filled with Carroll's trademark wordplay and absurdity, highlighting the dreamlike and surreal nature of Wonderland.

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.
