Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK
Chapter 8 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "It's My Own Invention." In this chapter, Alice finds herself in a garden with a garden of talking flowers. She has a humorous conversation with the Red Queen, who presents her with a riddle and then reveals the answer, which turns out to be a joke about a man with a green wig. The chapter continues to explore the whimsical and illogical nature of Wonderland, as well as Carroll's love for wordplay and absurdity.

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.
