Metro Posters

Before I get to today's post, I just want to say many, many, thanks to the out pour of responses and comments to my Third Anniversary post last Friday. You were all so kind and generous and I am now newly inspired to write Eye Prefer Paris. I also heard from new people I have never heard from before, so please don't be shy and would love to hear from you again. Below is an adorable reconfiguration of my beret photo lovingly and cleverly designed by one of my long time friends Kathleen who lives in Los Angeles. My beret is off to you for creating this.

I've decided to post photos of recent metro posters and will do so on a regular basis. I have taken dozens of photos of the imaginative, sometimes even arresting images and for some reason never posted them, so now is the time. Even the metro posters are works of art in Paris, as opposed the the ads I used to see in the New York subways mostly advertising injury settlement lawyers with 800 numbers and Dr. Zizmor, the creepy looking dermatologist.

These are so lovely and funny -- and you're funny with your delightful dead pan sense of humor.
The frog is great, eerie. The word "pepin" is a pun. It means 1) seed; 2) f*k up --
So, watermelon with no seeds, no glitches (f**k ups)

"Delightful dead pan sense of humor". Hehe, great comment.

Anyway, have to agree - I love the poster.
