There was something about her mannerisms and the way she carries herself that really won me over. I live in New York and I'm sorry to say that the majority of the women I've met here have been arrogant, condescending, mean, and overall very Un-Alizée. *Note* - obviously not ALL NYC women are like this, but chance would have it that the ones I've met have mostly been this way with few exceptions.
...Here's the reality of most women that are out there nowadays in America:
- Many are overly liberal and politically correct nazi's who will get offended by the slightest thing
- Many of them will preach open-mindedness and quality of character and yet always try to go for the tallest, best looking, richest guy
I'm sick of it.
Alizée on the other hand, is the perfect balance of everything good and pure. You can get a good sense of what someone is like by the way they respond to various situations. In interviews, Alizée just projects a sweet vibe that really can't be faked. I don't even know if she's aware of it, but her inner beauty comes out during these interviews. I even remember one time on that Fun TV interview where she described herself as the type of person who "puts others ahead of herself...
...In conclusion, if anyone has any clue as to how I can regain my sanity after this Alizée spell, please let me know.

Several people have commented on how similar your experience is to their own, so I will comment on a different portion of what you said.
I spent a lot of time during a portion of my single life (mid-20's) at the various night clubs in NYC. I had a chance to talk with many, many women at these clubs as I was doing something semi-official. The bottom line is that I eventually noticed that, almost without exception, the women I was drawn to were from out of town - almost none of them were New Yorkers!
You may simply be a big town guy who is in fact looking for a small town girl. The bad news here is that, if this is true, then you will likely have to move.
There are nice girls out there, but most of them are NOT in New York (remember that Alizée did not grow up in Paris, and she still relies on returning often to Corsica in order to remain "grounded").

...The problem is that I really can't seem to find anyone who possess enough key Lilly type qualities. It's definitely an internal issue that I'm dealing with; I'm too obsessed with finding me a cute, big headed, sweet girl who looks like Lilly! I think it's absurd for me to expect there to be someone who looks like her AND has a similar personality, but I seem to be stuck in this state of mind...

Although you do sound like you are fairly obsessed with Lili, this will pass somewhat in time. The important thing to pay attention to is what it is telling you about you, and what you are drawn to.
Obviously, once you get past this phase, you will likely not find a girl that looks like Lili (if you do then watch out - you are not seeing that person for who they really are), however I would not be surprised if the girl you meet did have many of her qualities.

I don't live in NY, but I understand what you're saying completely. It is hard for anyone to find who they want. There just isn't that many people who are "beautiful on the inside and out" anymore, and an Alizée is even rarer....

The tough part about all this is that Alizée really is a raritiy. That is why she has a following: because so many do recognise that she is special.
Ultimately, you will likely find a women with whom you are capable of a sustainable relationship. This means someone you are drawn to, and where each of you have enough of what the other person is looking for to be seen as fitting partner.
All in due time.
