Camouflage on eBay

November 17, 2008 by WendyB

I would like to wear this dress to a modern art museum and attempt to blend in with a painting.

Maybe Jill at Trend de la Creme can find the right painting for me. The shapes remind me of this Picasso but the color scheme is wrong.

UPDATED TO ADD: Jill came through for me, of course! In her comment, she instructed me thusly: “Stand at the far right end of Picasso’s ‘Guernica,’ in the center of Picasso’s ‘Mandolin,’ or at the left end of Picasso’s ‘Nature morte au verre sous la lampe.’ There are also two Escher patterns that work — ‘Relativity’ and ‘Fish and Scales’ — but they’re both black and white (so the red might call you out.) ” Now … which of you Photoshop geniuses will humor me by adding the dress and my Cheshire cat grin to a work of art?

    LOL! That would be very funny. Go to a Jackson Pollack retrospective, or a Roy Litchtenstein opening.

    You could play your own version of Where’s Waldo.

    Sister, you knew I couldn’t pass this one up!!

    Stand at the far right end of Picasso’s “Guernica,” in the center of Picasso’s “Mandolin,” or at the left end of Picasso’s “Nature morte au verre sous la lampe.”

    There are also two Escher patterns that work — “Relativity” and ” Fish and Scales” — but they’re both black and white (so the red might call you out.)

    Good times! And much better than the Munch series of ghastly visages of nightmarescapes/minis.

    I like bold print dresses, adds something to my otherwise very simple wardrobe

    well done, Jill! and that would require a trip to Madrid for the Guernica, what a great dress!

    Girlfriend, I don’t think you could ever blend in with anything. And why on earth would you want to??

    after you are tired of the dress, then you can frame it for the wall.
