    I wouldn't smile either if I had a piece of tin nailed to my cheek!

    I actually got a postcard from this guy once. Almost as bizarre as this mural. He must really think that "you do not smile" is a clever advertising slogan.

    the "model" looks a little like frieda kahlo -- not sure if she smiled very often ...

    Maybe Frida Kahlo after an eyebrow waxing.

    i think they repainted that mural recently too, because she had much more of a 'stache before. but yeah, freaky.

    My god, this is my favorite mural. Every time I walk down Nostrand, I make sure to point that out to anyone walking with me. It is a huge pile of misspelled, fear-mongering awesome.

    But ana.log, it's a tad on the extreme side (bald eyebrows), don't you think? :wink:

    I think a little eye-brow pencil might give her a 'softer' look.

    She should go to that "Carmindy" lady from "What Not To Wear".

    I love her "necklace" - and her monkey pal ... she's inspired a number of designers. In fact, there is (or was) a store on Smith Street called Frida ...

    *sigh*

    Alright, here you go. I also waxed her upper lip and did a little something about the bags under her eyes. I'm like a one-man Photoshop Oprah makeover.

    Excellent job! I think you show real promise as a make-up artist. :wink:

    How are you guys so sure this has to do with dentistry? It says "detal"--maybe they mean auto-detailing, or something.

    Very bizarre, either way.

    I am such a coward I can't even look at this mural anymore.

    Actually, I laugh every time I pass it-- it's just too amazing!!
