Alizée Jacotey is age 36 now, but she entered the music business at age 15. She was only 16 or 17 when she had her first a hit with Lolita. . She married at age 19 and had her first child at age 21. Her daughter (on the left) now is age 15 and the same age as when Alizée (on the right) went into the business) Strangely, now that she is an adult woman her act is a lot less provocative. The French seem to feel different about glamorizing under-age sex. |

Have you ever watched that Pageant Moms or whatever the hell it's called? Some dude tells his seven-year old daughter she was going to win because she looks much hotter than the other one. Christians, I'm pretty sure. Lots of those pageant moms are. If any of the judges are male, I'd say that should be probable cause for a search of their computers and phones.

Alizee's song is "I am Lolita" and repeats the lyric "I am not to blame". Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov. The novel is notable for its controversial subject: the protagonist and unreliable narrator, a middle-aged literature professor under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert, is obsessed with a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, with whom he becomes sexually involved after he becomes her stepfather. CHORUS: CHORUS: C'est pas ma faute It's not my fault Et quand je donne ma langue aux chats And when I'm ready to give up Je vois les autres I see the others Tout prêts à se jeter sur moi All ready to throw themselves at me C'est pas ma faute à moi It's not my own fault Si j'entends tout autour de moi If I hear everything around me L.O.L.I.T.A. L.O.L.I.T.A. Moi Lolita Me... Lolita Moi je m'appelle Lolita Me, my name is Lolita Collégienne aux bas A schoolgirl underneath Bleus de méthylène Tight blue jeans Moi je m'appelle Lolita Me, my name is Lolita Coléreuse et pas Quick-tempered, and not Mi-coton, mi-laine Half cotton, half wool Motus et bouche qui n'dis pas Silent and a mouth that doesn't tell À maman que je suis un phénomène Mom that I am a phenomenon Je m'appelle Lolita My name is Lolita Lo de vie, lo aux amours diluviennes Lo for spirit*, Lo for diluvial love diluvial - relating to a flood or floods, especially the biblical Flood. |

I recall the novel, we had to read it...I want to say Sophomore year of High School? Maybe it was Junior year. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

Lolita Never saw it, never read it, never heard it and I'm a huge Kubrick fan Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Fine, I'll Google. Oh, the director. I've seen The Shining and Full Metal Jacket. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

Check out 2001: A Space Odyssey sometime. I am no film expert, but to me, that one is a real work of art. If you have good sound it will be that much better. It would be half the movie without the classical symphony selections. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |
