Yeah I think Mylène may have chosen Alizée for the "Lolita" role partly because she looked younger than she was at the time. Lolita in the book was 12, and obviously Mylène would get into endless trouble if she gave the song to a 12 year old girl. Next best thing - a 15, going on 16 year old who looks a good few years younger than she is. That way, she is above the age of consent, so avoids the possible outrage of having such a young person play such a sexual role in as song, but still has a very girlish look to her.

Of course, the fact that she could sing might have also played a part in persuading Mylène to give Moi... Lolita to Alizée
