We all know about Mona Lisa, that legendary lady who was immortalized by Leonardo da Vinci in one of the world’s most popular canvases. We all know about the lady’s enigmatic charm, and her mysterious pose lingers subtly in our hearts. We’re all quite familiar with this masterpiece authored by one of the greatest painters of this earth, but still… what if Mona Lisa had lived in another day and age, to be immortalized by artists with different visions and sensibilities? This was apparently the thought that brought about this interesting, alternate Mona Lisa gallery, courtesy of our friends over at the Aviary… and I must say I’m quite impressed and entertained (check source for full set).

Ok, so I know this is supposed to be a family blog and everything… but what can I say? It’s not like there’s something offensive about this video (although it’s just a matter where your sensitities lay); so assuming there are no prude readers out there (if so I’ll ask them to look away for a little bit), I couldn’t be happier (not in the dirty sense) to present you with this… vivid, energetic and… (bouncy? why do I keep using these parenthesis remarks, anyway?).

Uh, I don’t really recall where I was going with the previous train of thought. I guess Mrs. Klum over there pretty much wrecked my train of thought with her uncanny… (*gulp*, talent?).
