Hello humans. Me Eliza. Me nice gorilla! Welcome to my online journal. Come and share my number one passion in life: BANANAS!
For centuries, Art critics have argued about the true identity of the beautiful Mona Lisa, and the secret behind her enigmatic smile. Many believe her to be Lisa di Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo. What few people realise is that she was a Bananaphile, and asked Leonardo da Vinci to paint her eating a banana.
It is well-known that there are several portraits of the Mona Lisa, apart from the famous painting #779 hanging in the Louvre. There is one of her sat between two columns, another of her naked.
Whether these were preparatory studies or copies by da Vinci’s students isn’t clear. However, the Banana Lisa, as it is affectionately known, has an impeccable provenance – and is believed to have been completed by da Vinci himself around 1503, (several months before the better-known portrait he decided to keep).
The Banana Lisa is now in the private art collection of Mr Gideon Apaxa (Apaxa Banana co.) – and is reproduced here by his kind permission.
Well, those are some funny pictures!! 
Very nice Lisa's. 
Hahahahahaha !
