WYLH - The problem of Susan

'And I'll giggle as I'm about to come.
And then I'll sigh and close my eyes afterwards... with a smile of pure joy dawning all over my face.' - Lady Lipstick



Far as I'm concerned, Lady Lipstick's Blog Wet Your Lips Here is the sexiest point in all the blogosphere, falling exactly at the intersection of the sex and brain ley lines.

About this post: At the end of Narnia all the children die (in a trainwreck - hand of God - nice). But Susan also dies a spiritual death, and can't join the others in paradise. This is because of the sins of developing a sexuality (becoming interested in nylons and lipstick and invitations), she became a young woman and no longer had the purity of an innocent, virginal child.

Niel Gaiman wrote a short story about it, an interview with an adult Professor Susan Pevensie (which you can read on this Univerity of Berkley site - questionable copyright status, may disappear).
