Drawing a mustache on a pretty woman in a subway advertisement is not original.  But I was oddly fascinated by this.

It messes with your mind in the same way as Magritte’s classic does, and even has similar handwriting.

This is not a pipe.

I’m considering printing out the pipe and pasting it onto her mouth.
