Exactly !! The point is that some people want her to be more mature no matter what, to be able to say that she's no longer a lolita, so much so that they'll see & say whatever... Even though she still looks the same, and maybe even younger with her outfits. ;) I wish she did look more mature, but I'll conform myself knowing that she is more mature. :D

I still say you can tell a difference.

"Mature" does not mean "not innocent." (It does mean "not ignorant," but that's not the same thing.)

"Mature" does not mean "old," either. Although hopefully by the time one is old, one is mature.

Nor (and this was Alizée's own misunderstanding) does "mature" mean "unable to enjoy child-like pleasure."

Mature means strong, responsible, confident, grown-up, self-aware. Alizée looks more mature in her new pictures because her facial expressions and behavior convey all of these things. The change has been more mental than physical, of course; physically the difference between 18 and 23 is minimal, and she's recovered completely from having her baby. But the experiences of the last few years, from motherhood to managing the production of her own album, have strengthened her and given her confidence that she didn't quite have before. This INNER difference shines through. It's not an OUTER difference.

Well, if you go by the face yes, unfortunate like some one else explained already, you lose certain skin tone or softness (baby fat) with time. However, she's a petit cute girl that will always look the same for years to come, until she is of more age and her body starts to decayed, or of course she has few more kids and doesn't look after for herself... ;)

I disagree with your analogy Deep, in some cases you're actually more confident when your more ignorant to the threat or fear of failure for example. I remember when I was younger which was not to long ago, and I was fearless. Now that I'm aware of the consequences of certain actions I'm not so fearless, I take precautions. Further more, I always saw Lili with great confidence then, unlike the look of fear in her eyes when she started this again. It's now that she's starting to become more confident. Remember back then she only had to worry about her own performance, now she's got more on her plate... I agree with the first part, which is why I don't understand why you're saying that Lili was not mature then, in my eyes she's always been more mature for her age. She's more mature now no question about that, due to her age (time wise) and her assuming more responsibilities, like motherhood for example. However, all that said. She does not look more mature. The way she's dressing does not help her look more mature at all, her hair, and so on and so forth. ;) I didn't want to say this, but she also lost weight around her derrier and thighs. So physically she doesn't look more mature. If you want more proof, I've actually done some tests with people that don't know her. Do you want to know the results ?

amazing... just amazing... :wub::wub::wub: merci...

I agree, but the qualifier is important. An 18-year-old girl who's mature for her age is still very young. Let's just say that at 18 she wasn't a mess, which is pretty good for 18. :D

I don't see anything wrong with either her clothes or her hairstyle. What are you talking about? Can you be more specific? Maybe it's just a difference in taste.

LOL OK, we're using different definitions here. Actually, though, I can't see that much if any she's thinner now than she was in 2003. Thinner than when she was pregnant, sure.

But I was referring to the expressions on her face and the way she holds herself. She's 23 -- there's no sense in expecting her to look middle-aged! Or even like she's in her 30s! So everything I'm talking about is a mental attribute that has a physical impact.

It might be interesting, but I'll tell you in advance I would simply write off such opinions as going purely by superficial perceptions. Physically, I can see hardly any difference at all between her appearance now and when she was 18. But mentally, and in the impact of her mind on how she holds herself, how she presents herself, the difference is huge.

Geez! I thought I was complimenting her. I didn't think it would start a debate. :( Ok, I take it back, she is timeless. The day she buries Jeremy she will look the same. When we are all long gone she will be the same as she was on her first album. Man, I make one comment and it gets analyzed to pieces.
