One of my readers, Mr. Krishnan, sent me a mail with various versions of Mona Lisa that had me in stitches. Before posting it, I googled for other funny images and thought I'd post a few of the funnier ones just for fun and laughter. For a start, here's a pic of the original Mona Lisa.
What if Mona Lisa had been born in India?
Had she been American, Mona Lisa might have been...
The effect would have been different if she was Iranian...
How about a Pakistani version of Mona Lisa?
Mona Lisa Afghan style?
Mona Lisa in "Twilight" or the land of Vampires?
Mr. Bean as Mona Lisa?
If Picasso had painted Mona Lisa, she might have turned out this way...
Now if Mona Lisa had been a punk rocker...
I think this lot should suffice for now :-). On a more serious note, those of you who have visited the Louvre in Paris would know that the original Mona Lisa is quite small and nothing to scream about. I still remember the first time I saw it there - I was most disappointed. I had a more emotional reaction when I saw Michaelangelo's La Pietà (1499) which is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture housed in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
Anyway, here's wishing everyone a lovely Merdeka holiday. Take care and do swing by again later for the next post. Thanks!
Anonymous I particularly like the American Mona Lisa with that "come on!" look. Man! Those bazookas are ready to start a world war!! :-)
