One of many ideas I sketched out was "Alice in Underland," which I sent directly to the 7UP Company, being too young, I suppose, to know what an ad agency was. I did this a few months before 7UP's own Alice commercial appeared. <br /><br />When I saw the commercial, I assumed I'd been ripped off. Or maybe I just enjoyed fantasizing that the idea had come from me, and wasn't just an obvious pun that any copywriter would have thought of. <br /><br />I would love to see the Alice commercial again. I think I saw it twice, and that was that.jfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666700580976995758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741976915308148081.post-2887861404654584912009-01-29T20:16:00.000-08:002009-01-29T20:16:00.000-08:00Trish,You ARE Alice now....you will always be the ...Trish,<BR/><BR/>You ARE Alice now....you will always be the beautiful one that everyone is flirting with and someone else is in the bunny costume with sloppy joes running down the face and I miss you and I know you are happy...but I still feel a void, and I wish I could see right now through the tears...your writing and wit and everything about you will be missed...<BR/><BR/>You ARE Alice honey.

I was so excited to have found a contact for you I neglected to actually read the blog before commenting on it. It was possibly a little too oblivious of the circumstances. Maybe I should have read the title of your blog to have got a clue about your current condition. <BR/>Anyway, I remember your <BR/>7-UP commercial. You said it paid for that blue VW you use to run around in.<BR/>Dr. Song? You have a knack for attracting people with lyrical names. I remember you once got mugged in Venice (the guy pulled you down some stairs by your handbag strap). They caught the perp and you had to attend a hearing. I went with you. The arresting cop, Officer Spring was late for the proceedings and we waited for some minutes until the bailiff announced that "Spring is here" to which you replied "Why doesn't my heart go dancing?"<BR/>MWAH!John Brumfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022670073091244256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741976915308148081.post-36966764752662948082008-12-15T11:20:00.000-08:002008-12-15T11:20:00.000-08:00Hey Trish, glad I found you -- your old friend, tr...Hey Trish, glad I found you -- your old friend, trusted assistant, and former Willie babysitter -- been thinking about you ever since I heard the news and am glad you're still your funny-self, despite everything...

I find it so amazing that you felt like the rabbit looking at Alice and it reminded you of your childhood. In my childhood, YOU were ALWAYS the beautiful blond Alice and I was always the rabbit. (And as I write this, I imagine some of your readers going "yeah, duh!")Perspectives are weird, I guess, and often wrong. Keep that in mind when you are down and feeling rabbity.
