Moreland Marker Girl

We saw this very faint marker Girl while stuck in late afternoon traffic on Moreland avenue. Its on a telephone pole in between Kirkwood and Merlin Avenues and is drawn above an old wheatpasted flyer from the 2007 U.S. Social Forum. High five to Mohammad for taking this shot on a cellphone while the car was moving! I actually really like it with the sun streaming through. Find the hearts, find the Girl.

Lenny's Girl

I was driving with Ela last night and as we drove by the You Go Girl tag I lamented the fact that it's been so long since new Blah Girls have been spotted, and that I feared she might be gone forever. A couple of my readers here have posted that some Cabbagetown neighborhood association had published online information about where the Blah Girl creator lives as part of their "crack down" on street art. I wouldn't blame the Blah Girl creator at all for being more cautious under these terms.

But then when I checked my email moments later, I got a message from the lovely Jana who sent pictures of a Girl she had found at Lenny's Bar on Friday night. I just LOVE this Girl too. I love the fat marker and the contrast between her blackest black and the whiteness of the wall and sink- not to mention her mischievous expression. Ela commented that I should try to get the same design down over my kitchen sink which I think would be terrific.

Thank you Jana for proof that she is not gone! And Blah Girl Creator- if you're out there, keep the Girls coming and holler if you want some commissioned work!

One of the MJQ Girls

FInally I remembered to take a picture of the Girl in the bathroom at MJQ that Malissa told me about ages ago. Apparently though I missed another girl in the other bathroom but I'll remember next time.

BP on Hill and Memorial

Pulling up at the BP on Memorial and Hill Street, on our way from the fantastic Rodrigo y Gabriel show at the Tabernacle, on our way to The Standard for a nightcap, I roll on up to a little Girl on the newspaper stand.

The Local

Last night as we were parking at The Local I said to Ela, I think there's a Blah Girl here. I checked the dumpster for her cute little face, but just found lots of other scrawls.

A little bit later I trekked to the ladies room with Mica. As I closed the door of the teeny tiny stall, I found myself looking face-to-face with the first Midtown Girl that I've ever seen.

I think the faint writing in the background says "SARA LOVE". And Sara does love.

Wedding Girl

I knew before I even saw her that the Blah Girl wouldn't miss her chance to smile on the union of Beck and Garrett at the Eyedrum yesterday. I found her exactly where I thought she'd be: grinning from her post in the bathroom.
