What a Sweet Story🥰
"The company was set up by designer Alice Avenel, an old schoolfriend of Kate's, but she has now sold it. Speaking to The Mail on Sunday about the sweater, the mother-of-three said: 'I gave it to her years ago. It was a hand-me-down. I sold the company in March."
Clothing company brings back jumper after Prince Louis wore it
The daughter of an ex-Army officer, Alice, 41, has been a close friend of both the Prince and Princess of Wales since childhood. She was a teenage friend of William and a peripheral member of the 'Glossy Posse', who would hang out at Highgrove.
She was at exclusive Marlborough College with the Middleton sisters, playing tennis with Kate and hockey with Pippa. The Prince and Princess of Wales went to her 2012 wedding to French banker Gerald Avenel.
Alice, who has three children, Rose, 11, Constantine, nine, and Edward, seven, founded Little Alice in 2018, after the births of her children when she discovered a 'passion for smocking'. She also sold that company last month.
Explaining why she set up the firm, she said: 'My clever mother kept all of my beautiful smocked dresses from when I was a child, but I found it very hard to find affordable dresses in the shops.
Then the Princess of Wales released a photograph of her youngest son Prince Louis to mark his fifth birthday last weekend, shoppers rushed to find the same sweater he was wearing.
But there was only one problem: the £75 Fair Isle design was a hand-me-down Kate was given years ago, and had since been discontinued. So now, after being inundated with requests, the company which makes it has brought back the retired design.
Lallie London had, until Friday, been accepting advance orders for the smoky blue jumper, even though it won't be available again until September.
It is not the first time the Wales children have worn one of Alice's designs. Five years ago, Princess Charlotte, then two, almost stole the show as she and Prince George, four, arrived at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, to meet their baby brother. The £45 Periwinkle smocked dress she wore came from Ms Avenel's other label, Little Alice London, and immediately sold out online.

Teeth Week #4: "Unfinished Sweet" by Alice Cooper
Teeth Week #4: “Unfinished Sweet” by Alice Cooper
The last song on side one of Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies album in 1973 was a lyrical departure.  Instead of the horrors of monsters, or necrophilia, this time Alice is comically singing about the horrors of dental surgery!  Too much candy, and now it’s time for a trip to the dentist.  The sound of drills echo in your head as the song plays.  Live on stage, Alice’s wife Cheryl dressed as…

【今日のレコード】ALICE COOPER/Billion Dollar Babies
【今日のレコード】ALICE COOPER/Billion Dollar Babies 曲もジャケもスタイリッシュなアリスクーパー最高作!世界の様相うにアリスが大統領だったらいいのにナ、、、なんて思うわけです。 https://sorc.theshop.jp/items/78877991
アリス・クーパーの最高傑作!と言われていますがワタシもそう思います!(エヘ!)とにかくスタイリッシュ!?ヘヴィー過ぎずかといって甘くもなく一枚にわたって飽きさせない構成で、ジャケもめちゃ凝っててオシャレ!ハロウィンの仮装するなら白のスーツでウサギちゃん抱えたコレだな。このところ注意しないとSNSでかなり厳しい画像を目にしちゃう事が増えててとくに戦争に巻き込まれた子どもの画像に私はビリオンダラーベイビーを思い出してしまう(不謹慎かも)。アリスが大統領だといいのに。戦争反対。…

"MORE TEXTURES AND BOMBAST THAN ACTUAL HARD ROCK, "BDB" IN RETROSPECT IS A STRANGE COLLECTION OF HIGHLY POLISHED PERFORMANCES."
PIC(S) INFO: Relaeased 50 years ago earlier this year -- Spotlight on the "Billion Dollar Babies" LP, the sixth studio album by American rock band ALICE COOPER, and released in March 1973 under the Warner Bros. label. The album became the best selling ALICE COOPER record at the time of its release, hit number one on the album charts in both the US and the UK, and went on to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. 
RECORD OVERVIEW: "If first impressions are key, then the look alone of the "Billion Dollar Babies" LP made it an instant classic. A prime artifact from the days when the music business spent lavishly on complicated and expensive album art, the package was designed like a wallet. Outside was a large gold coin with a baby's head encircled by embossed diamonds against a bright-green snakeskin-patterned background. Inside were pop-out trading cards and an oversized billion-dollar bill picturing the band. The inner sleeve has lyrics on one side and the band, dressed in white, looking hilariously perplexed by their surroundings, petting white rabbits among stacks of paper money while Cooper holds an infant whose eyes are ringed by the same black makeup design he wore onstage.
After the long, wearying struggle to succeed followed by endless touring and boundless adulation, Alice Cooper the band was both peaking and coming apart in 1973. Having recently released "Killer" (1971) with its singles "Be My Lover" and "Under My Wheels," and a follow-up, "School's Out" (1972), whose LP came packaged in a pair of women's panties, conditions were ripe for these early progenitors of shock, schlock, and glam rock to fashion one lasting achievement yet to be.
Guitarists Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce (who also plays keyboards), drummer Neal Smith, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and Vince Furnier (a.k.a. Alice Cooper) recorded BDB from August 1972 through January 1973 at the Cooper Mansion in Connecticut with a mobile recording unit, as well as in Morgan Studios, London, and The Record Plant in New York City. The engineers were Shelly Yakus, Frank Hubach, Robin Black, Peter Flanagan, Jack Douglas, and Ed Sprigg. Guitarists Mick Mashbir, Dick Wagner, and Steve Hunter (the latter two would be prominent in Alice Cooper's solo career) and keyboardist Bob Dolin provided extra support.
More textures and bombast than actual hard rock, BDB in retrospect is a strange collection of highly polished performances. Upon closer listen, piano parts are a subtle but surprisingly essential part of the arrangements. Never loud or overdriven guitars, sometimes keening, aid in the album's high-camp zeitgeist."
-- STEREOPHILE, "ReDiscoveries #5: Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies," by Robert Baird, published May 30, 2023
