The book is in very good condition. Note only that the lower left corner of the back cover is very slightly marked and the first 10/15 pages are slightly curved toward the spiral, as is very common with this book. Finally, the spine is slightly warped. (see photos).

Lolitas playing the femme fatale roles surrender themselves in all sensuality, for a moment captured in a snapshot. A troubled age between childhood and womanhood... Alone, among friends or lovers, laughing, pensive or vulnerable, modest or naughty, always sexy... all these "girls" are posed before the knowing lens of fashion photographer Pamela Hanson. They are known (Carla Bruni, Vanessa Paradis, Naomi Campbell...) or less known (Lisa, Stella, Simone...). As you turn the pages, you pause and melt at a look, a pout, a gesture, a fragment of bare skin; it is light and grave at the same time.

Sometimes, next to black-and-white or neon-colored images, there are short texts, a few words about the girls, written by women but also by men. Frédéric Beigbeder, for example: "The Girls are my suave nightmare. I love a torture named desire."

In this neon-pink album, a kind of large spiral-bound school notebook, the girls will be found in their entirety. The boys, for their part, will attempt, not without pleasure, to get a little closer to the mysterious and fascinating world of the "girls"... --Sylvie Lécallier
