Don't take that the wrong way, I know none of you are perverts and that Alizée's appeal is universal in itself, I'm just saying that some things look different in bad lighting.

I know exactly which outfits you mean (those dreadful L'Alizé blue and pink pyjamas, right?) and as I see it that was as a result of Mylène trying to force her own image onto Alizée. I have the utmost respect for the woman and am a massive fan, but during the Gourmandises period I do think she took the "sex appeal" factor too far, considering how young Lili was at the time. I mean Mylène herself, as a sexually mature, good looking and confident 30 something woman could pull off a revealing outfit like that without it seeming uncomfortable or done in poor taste, but when you change 30 something to 16 it's an entirely different matter. I dunno, I just think that maybe Mylène should've waited til the MCE era, by which time Lili had most definitely gone from "girl" to "young woman" before pushing for an explicitly sexy image.

EXAAAAACTLY.
I see hot/sexy girls every day and to be honest, a girl who is only those things doesn't do a lot for me. Girls with class and dignity, such as Lili, are REALLY special. It says a lot about a girl's character too if she can be sexy but know when to stop and prevent it becoming distasteful or crude.
