Being older and being “physically” attracted to Alizée

Umm, not to my knowledge, I just assume that all lili pictures are unedited, but I hope they are unedited, so I mean, just wait for someone else to answer after me hahahaha

I know for a fact that all of you gentlemen here are very classy, respectful people, and I admire you all for that. I've never seen Alizée being discussed here in a sexual or disrespectful manner. Otherwise I would've been scared off a long time ago.

That being said, I can see why "outsiders" () would get the wrong idea about older men being a fan of Alizée, although they're completely incorrect in their assumptions. Placing yourself in their shoes, had you never heard about Alizée, her music, or her beautiful personality, would you not raise your eyebrows a bit when you saw her, especially in her Gourmandises outfits (I always thought some of them were a little too revealing for a 16-year-old, "legal" or not)? 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.

There is something about Alizée's presence and the way she carries herself, the expressions she makes, the songs she sings.. pretty much everything about her, that screams "beautiful and classy" rather than "hot/sexy". It's just an indescribable "vibe" thing that all people have, you can tell their nature just by studying their mannerisms.

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.

[woohoo]

When I first saw Alizée I thought she was hot but that was before i knew her. I went on my search to find out who she was and I found this site and it quickly became the Classy attraction you all are talking about. If she wasnt attractive to me in the begining I most likly would not be here and would not have found my love for music from around the world.

I don't know how to put it but... I 'm a little bit skeptical about what I read here. Maybe i'm a little too "french" but i'm not comfotable with the way you use the word " sexual", as if it is something bad . Sexual impulses are just natural.
You can't control to have it or not. Having sexual impulse or fantasy and acting in a reasonable way are 2 different things for me.

Yes i'm not young anymore and yes i'm "physically" and sensuously attracted by Alizée ! Especially when she was wearing "aunt Mylène" special outfits !

I'm a man, and I can't help it...

But, nevertheless, when I get the chance to meet her in person, I didn't try to talk to her Cause I know what kind of strange feeling it could be to be approach by a fan "like me".
I didn't want to embarrass her and I thought that she would like to think that all her fans are youngs handsome boys...

So, i would say that i'm ok with your analysis if you talk about the "real" person" she is, I mean the Alizée Jacotey that I saw in the street, but let me assume my fantasies about Alizée the "sexy pop singer".

Genuinely laughed out loud!

OK I agree Alizée looks extremely sexy in the JEAM and JPVA outfits (two of such Madame Farmer productions ) but she was 18 when she was wearing them, and for me that makes a huge difference between them and some of the outfits she was wearing at 16... like this'un:



For me, she is still very much a "girl" in the picture above (I think she looks a bit young for her age of 16 as well) and so this is verging on bad taste and a bit weird to see a girl dressed in such a revealing and explicitly sexual manner. See what I'm getting at? MCE era, Alizée is a young woman, so sexy dressing can be classy. Gourmandises era, Alizée is still very much a girl, so sexy dressing can be distasteful and weird.

Very important point here.
She always look younger than she is !
I remember that I always had to fight with people convinced that she was 16 in the infamous JEAM outfit...
That's add to confusion...

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

Bigdan, it is not a question of control for me. I have absolutely no sexual impulses for Alizée. Zero. But, I find she is the most beautiful, sexy, charming, talented, generous, joyful, sincere... person in the world. If I would ever meet her and have it my way, I would ask that she smiled to me pour un moment and then let me hug her pour une éternité.
