Moreover, some say Sleeping Beauty's 'awakening' was actually her first sexual encounter) <br/> <br/>For some reasons, I have always found that combination of fairy tales' innocence with the taboo world of sex highly intriguing. Consequently, when I heard Alan Moore created an erotica based on fairy tales' spin-off, I could hear myself screaming "That genius bitch! He created something with everything I want!" inside my head. What can be better than hearing our Wendy, Alice, and Dorothy tell their <i>real</i> tales in Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz? Toto, we're definitely not in Kansas anymore. <br/> <br/><b>Lost Girls</b> is so bad, it need to be spanked hard. And I'm desperate to have it ASAP. <br/> <br/>Two things kept me from it, though: <br/> <br/>1. My prude, narrow-minded mother whom I, unfortunately, still living with (yes, she still inspects my things once in a while) <br/> <br/>2. The price, although it seems decent considering the books' grandeur packaging. But still... <br/> <br/>Ada yang mau beliin? <br/> <br/><i>update: a sneaky, dirty friend of mine offered me getting this book through carding. Could I say no?!</i> <br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/524079?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
