I was talking to my good friend Prof. Noah Tall from the University Of
Imawanka in New South Wales. He told me the real story behind the Mona
Lisa. Read on, because not a lot of people know this. This is what he
told me.

"One night, Leonardo was sitting in a cafe with a few fellow artists
watching some musicians. Their buddy Grecko was playing in a band that
night.

Ruebens started getting a bit bored and told the others he was off to a
local brothel in town. Leonardo beseeched him, "Ruebens, don't take your
love to town" but Ruebens was adamant. He asked Davinci for a lone of
some money to pay for his pleasure

However, Leonardo himself was hard up and told him he only had a few
paintings from another artist. Maybe he could trade those? Ruebens
declined saying, "That's very kind of you, but Monet can't buy me love".

Just then the band stopped playing, and another of their friends, Renoir
went up on stage. They were looking forward to his act because he was an
impressionist. When he had finished, Mattise Rose to go for a quick
Pissaro

Now, many of the famous painters were into spanking. Renoirs "Reclining
Nude" for example is not really a nude - she has her dress pulled down to
half mast! The "Laughing Cavalier" is actually a self portrait, painted
after the artist had been spanked by Whistlers Mother.

Whistlers Mother was a well known spanko. Notice the way she sits?
Sitting on a typical spanko chair waiting. Apparently she was waiting for
the poet Shelly to take his trousers down after she had told him, "I am
going to smack your Botty Shelley (got to think about that one!).

Anyway, Davinci was sitting there when Van Gogh walked in. They watched
in fascination as he grappled with his Sony Walkman. He sat at the table
and started talking to Davinci.

"I like that new painting of yours" he told him. "What are you going to
call it?"

Davinci told him that he was going to call it "Lisa". Van Gogh was a bit
doubtful about the title, it was a little simplistic.He then enquired how
he managed to paint such an enigmatic smile.

"That's easy" Davinci replied. "I put her across my knee and gave her a
good spanking"

"Sounds like a good idea - and a lot of fun" remarked Vincent.

"Not really, all she did was whinge and complain. I got so frustrated
that at one time I cried out, for Heavens sake, don't be such a moaner
Lisa."

And there Michael, is the true story of the Mona Lisa."

Oh, lots of 'groans' in this. I love the passage above. Fun and
clever, Mike :-) !!

Its funny that you should bring this up. Just the other day I was talking to
someone about the Mona Lisa (Yes, I have culture) and they were telling me
that under the Marcel Duchamp's portrait of the Mona Lisa appear the letters
L.H.O.O.Q.
This is the most famous derivative work in the world. For years it was
believed to be, as Dadaist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) asserted, just a
cheap, mass-marketed postcard that he casually purchased in Paris in 1919
and on which he then penciled in a moustache and goatee and the letters
L.H.O.O.Q. (In French slang at the time, "Elle a chaude au cul.") (In
english....She has a hot bottom??)
More recent scholarship suggests that Duchamp laboriously altered the
postcard before adding the moustache, including merging his own portrait
with that of Mona Lisa. This work is sometimes referred to as "Mona Lisa
With a Moustache" and sometimes as "L.H.O.O.Q."

-Hummmm.....who knew.

He was a man ahead of his time - they didn't even have Usenet in those
days:)
