to all the non-believers...

I was NOT overreacting about how underwhelming the mona lisa was. You don't even need to have been to the Louvre yourself to know how disappointingly small it is. She is TINY, ok. proof below:

she's tiny as hell so all u non believers are real motherfukers

anyway, I said I'd look 4 more photos of ppl taking photos of mona, and I stuck 2 my word. Enjoy this exclusive PART DEUX (PART UN here) of my journalistic endeavours into the activity of the most under-documented fandom: the Monites

Monites paying up to €5 for audiotours about their queen - the cost of dedication

I can't see the actual painting but I'm not sure I mind

go big or go home

On the left: devout Monites, on the right: a NON BELIEVER

the face of a defeated man, unable 2 get close to his idol this time

I'm really pleased with the amount of interest I'm getting for these photos of monites - I hope one day I'll be acknowledged for my outstanding investigative journalism into this. I'll keep searching for more photos just for you guys, thanks!!

Mona Lisa fans

Regarding my dismay at how small and therefore un-impressionable the Mona Lisa was, I found myself taking a photo of one man instead of the actual painting.

His struggle to reach the goal is almost masked by his beauty

The internet shares my interest; a phrase said by many first discovering a fandom online, I think I've found the Monites, the Monicans, the Mona-Lisians (?). Thus begins my list of people taking photos of people taking photos of the Mona Lisa (not limited to just photos!!) :

A Jewish man possibly

Captivating

This Monite knows what he wants, and it's a selfie with Mona

A video-taker of Mona Lisa  (a highly prized and v. rare find)

If proven popular, I will continue my search for these photos - there must be others out there
