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!

Citgo Dumpster Girl

Well, this has been a great weekend so far- kicked off with two parties last night, the second of which my new BFF Jason was nice enough to let me play Rock Band on his new Wii, oh man!- and then this morning I hear from Blah Girl Seeker Shawn of a brand new Girl! I actually was starting to get worried that the Girl might have retired because it's been so long since I've seen new Girls anywhere. I'm so relieved this isn't the case!

Shawn found this Girl on the corner of Wylie and Moreland yesterday afternoon, on the dumpster in the Citgo parking lot. I love this picture even more because of the Gun Show sign in the back- oh Georgia!!!

You Go Girl!

I had my suspicions that this "You Go Girl" on the corner of Edgewood and Krog was done by the Blah Girl Creator, but felt sure once Lori also pointed it out.

Any thoughts on the monster tags that are going up on Boulevard and around the neighborhood - some say "rawr" and some say "sorry" across the mouth (backwards r's) - are also done by our Girl creator?

Wylie Street #2

This is the second Girl spotted by Ela on Wylie Street on the border of Reynoldstown and Cabbagetown. I wonder if anyone will put a bikini on her like they did on the formerly-topless girl that lives a block away from this girl on Pearl Street.

NOLA Girl

I couldn't have been more excited to receive a message this morning from Lauren with pictures of the furthest away Blah Girl so far- she's from New Orleans. Like so many of her Blah sisters, this girl is now gone so I'm even more glad to have evidence of her smile.

Lauren writes:

This comes from S. Claiborne Ave. in New Orleans and the pic was taken in July. Sad thing is, it was on the wall of an abandoned auto garage that was demolished last week, so technically this Blah Girl now only exists in the photo.

Thanks SO much for sending her!

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.
