Apart from Guille and her recent marriage (see yesterday's post) there are other celebrities in this world... Hence the one in this photo, who, I'm sure you will all have recognized... Lady Di! You did not? Well it's normal, it's is not meant to be a spiting image of the late princess but a caricature. Just like the other 300 portraits of the "20th century mythical characters" that are currently being featured at the stunning Musée des arts forains (The Fairground Art Museum) near Bercy. Some are more recognizable than others, like these two guys... FYI, they were all made by Michel Foucoult from the famous French masks and costume maker Cesar.
This is very interesting (comme d'habitude)—and this is the spitting image of my cousin Anne, who looks absolutely nothing like Princess Diana. I need to check out all those links!
ReplyDeleteJust checked PDP for the first time in a couple days. Congratulations, to both Guille and Michael.
ReplyDeleteGod, was I shocked when I learned last week! It seems everyone know but me!
All the best to both of you.
Didnt look like her at all :(
ReplyDeleteLady Di? Looks more like Barry Manilow!
ReplyDeleteI would not have recognized Barry Manilow as Stewart just did because I didn't know his face well enough but I would be very surprised if this was Lady Di, even a caricature... I think this is the one of a male face...
ReplyDeleteInteresting post Eric.
Loved Lady Di - thank goodness there was never a royal cartoon - eek!
ReplyDeleteI recognized Alexa's cousin Anne right off the bat! HA
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Are they in windows outside? Very cool idea.

Oh, I may comment on a Monday, a Monday, a Monday is very very good,
ReplyDeleteOr I may comment on a Tuesday, a Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish I would,
Or I may comment on a Wednesday, a Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best,
But never ever on a Sunday, a Sunday, a Sunday,
'cause that's my day of rest.
That's a rather silly way of saying that I missed yesterday's post. So belated congrats to the newlyweds, Guille and Michael. That was a well kept secret.
You make a lovely couple and may I wish you my very best wishes for your future happiness, although if you're on honeymoon the last thing on your mind will be reading this. ;)
As for today's pic, a caricature should at least get the gender correct, I thought it was a man.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's the Tenin Perspective or just that I hang around with the wrong kind of men.
I have looked for a while, but still can't see even a caricature resemblance. Is is me, or is is really just a statue of Alexa's cousin? :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent Drummond, your strong sense of humour is always a blast (the days you may comment and the day you may not, I mean!!!!)
ReplyDeleteVirginia and Christie are right =) LOL
The only thing I can be sure of, is that this caricature is probably not that of the beautiful Guille ;-)
It's quite a funny idea, in any case, although like the rest of you I'm not seeing much of Princess Di, whom I didn't love, by the way, not being a Royalist, but don't hold it against me.
ReplyDeleteLady Di would not have been pleased with this, I'm sure. Perhaps her brother would.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? This looks like a young Bill Gates without his glasses.
ReplyDeleteFantastic post thank you for sharing this information for us, sustain the nice work
