does what is written on this scarf mean "Lisa and groin?" I like it, but I don't know if I want to go around with a scarf referring to mona lisa's nether region...



ETA: a poll for butterflies or mona lisa

If it says "Lisa ne t'aine" (couldn't read it very well) then I think it means "not your groin, Lisa" it's literal translation is "Lisa not you groin"....


very very strange...


maybe it's some sort of a pro-choice statement?

it's Dolce and Gabbana, if that helps explain anything.  um, I think I'll pass even though it's only $23 (I guess it's marked down that much for a reason...)


what do we think of this one instead? I kind of like it...

are we sure that's an n? it could say "lisa ne t'aime" which would roughly mean something along the line of Lisa, I don't like you...

that would make more sense than  Lisa, not you groin...lol...especially since there seems to be graffiti on the painting....


it's just so weird!! I would probably get it just because of the weirdness...


 


Oh..and I like the second one D....I like mixing patterns like that...

That is an "M", so choo is right, it is Lisa I don't like you.


But who doesn't like Lisa??


I like the second one better

I agree, I think that's a j.

I think it's a J as well...which would make the most sense, meaning, "lisa, I love you"


I like the scarf!

It means Lisa I love you (Lisa je t'aime).  The J and M are written in the French style.

I like the Mona Lisa version the best, no matter what it says. You'd probably have to see it in person to see what it really says but if you wear it, who would know anyway? I think it's awesomely cool and if I wasn't scarf-illiterate, I'd totatlly get it.

I think it says "Lisa, je t'aime," as in "Lisa, I love you." That's a little random because the French refer to her as La Joconde, not Mona Lisa. Anyhoo, I like that scarf more than the butterflies one.
