Tea With Mona Lisa

click for larger
Recognize this fresh face?

Hint: She didn't get a bath, regardless of what you might have read in that tea-throwing article.*
*Daily Mail: ''Woman in hot water after attacking the Mona Lisa with a mug of English Breakfast tea...'' (Wait, does this mean she would've gotten away with it if only she'd chosen a different type of tea?...)
Anyway, I'm getting off track here. There was no tea involved, instead Lumiere Tech discovered her true colors by multi-spectrally scanning 'her' in 12 levels, from ultra-violet to infra-red. Then the spectral response of varnish & dirt were subtracted from the digital file. This revealed the surface just as it looked when freshly painted. That's the digital image above.

Remember, this is how she looks now:
current

But now that we have these new brighter details...

Q: Should the Louvre re-restore her?

Not Tiger Woods Mi$tre$$

Sorry I've been MIA recently...

There is no affair, and it is not about ALL THAT MONEY.  Honest.

... been shopping for a sensible outfit.


So I can deny my affair with Tiger, too.


Sigh. Its so tough to find a low-cut, crop top in winter.
Cuz when its freezing you need those matching gloves...





“The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.”

- George Bernard Shaw


Who knew the old dude kept a blog?


Too bad he didn't tweet that one to Tiger.





Update:

There's talk in Hollywood about doing a made-for-tv movie about this, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Daily Mail, Jan 2010)
