Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK
Chapter 7 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "The Lion and the Unicorn." In this chapter, Alice encounters a procession of bizarre characters, including the White King, the White Queen, the Lion, and the Unicorn, all of whom are involved in a comical and nonsensical battle. The chapter is a whimsical representation of a conflict between the Lion and the Unicorn for the crown. As with much of Carroll's work, this chapter is filled with wordplay and absurdity, highlighting the absurdity of the rules and logic in the world through the looking glass.

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.
