Come Dressed As Raquel
(Express, 1972-00-00)
An unusual party has been given in Paris by the eccentric pop singer Alice Cooper. Mr Cooper had asked his 33 guests to come dressed as Raquel Welch. Says a spokesman for Mr Cooper, who has had two records in the Top Twenty recently: "There were masses of aristocrats and princesses. Bettina was there looking divine in a green wig. Jeanne Moreau, Omar Sharif and Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones, were also there. Many of the guests wore wigs - green ones, pink ones and violet ones." ...
Mr Alice In Wonderland
(Express, 1974-03-19)
Late night sittings, party talk, people of widely different backgrounds and interests don't have to be acrimonious or divisive. Not when the party is made up of the beautiful people whose social wonderland - not far from Westminster in distance but a world away in style - remains apparently indestructible.

For the past 30-odd years; this merchant of ghoul has been regular visitor to the UK, using more theatrical blood than a Sam Raimi film in the process and attracting process and attracting equal mounts of righteous criticism. Yet, the man's a pussycat. A caring and tea-total father of three, he plays golf every day - regular partners include former president Gerald Ford - worries about Ozzy Osbourne's well-being and has even found God, attacking Marilyn Manson for taking the Devil worship thing "way too far". What you have to remember about Alice is that it's all a morality tale. The leather-clad, panda-eyed, swordwielding maniac on stage is undoubtedly a bad person, but he pays for his sins - usually with his head. Ergo, Alice is a force for good....
