Jo has been happy to have his daughter's fame attract interest in his photography, \

There are a lot of parents out there who if MF and LB came up to them and said we're going to take your daughter out of school and take her to Paris 4 days a week and make her a star, that the parents would say " Sure!..........Why don't you take her little brother too?". But I think most of us feel there is a specialness to her, a uniqeness to her that we can't explain and if they felt the same way too, then if she was gone for just one day a week from our lives, she would be sorely missed and as far as Jo being happy to have his daughters fame attract interest in his photography, I think he was just making the best of the situation. Which would you want? Alizée to be with you on a regular basis or to be able to take some photographs to show off your photography skills every once in a while? I guess it all depends on how much she meant to him.

I can imagine what kind of face Jo must have made when she told him that she'going to be involved in a Farmer concept called "Lolita"

You have to remember too that because of Jo, she was a big fan of Madonna.
Being a big fan of Madonna then being taken under Mylene's wing..........what kind of thoughts were going through his head?
