Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' once had eyebrows

*SNIP* By the way, personally it’s beyond my imagination that how can anyone possibly not like Mona Lisa. There is something absolutely unearthly in the picture that drives me to a fantasy land. But I guess we all are different … I agree mate, I think the picture commands attention. Like I said I think her smile is awesome, you could put a thousand or more different meanings to it. But our opinion yes.

Erm, what was this topic about? Was it about the long lost brows of famous Lisa, or a chat club? LOL, the discussion between HerNibs and others were funny and entertaining to read, though.

I judge any piece of art in terms of the quality they contain within them and hidden in them, and not just the outer appearance of it. To be quite honest, I do agree with those members here and people who think that the woman in the picture (i.e. Mona Lisa) isn't attractive, and personally I think she is positively ugly ... But I do not think it is fair to comment on the artistic quality of any work of art simply on the basis of the a... [More]

Whoopi is cool..I like Whoopi, even if she is kind of scary..

ohhh my

It is true, many things are much better in person. Not with the Mona Lisa, you just think 'is that it'. Extremely underwhelming.

I don't either; I always wondered if I was the only one! lol, i never saw the big deal..and now we find out it had had brows and lashes, made no difference, still uninteresting

We know she lost her evebrows but what isn't mentioned is that she also had a tatoo and earing :lol:
