This week our Ovi fan girls Virginia Woolf, Marie Antoinette and Sacagawea will be accompanied by another famous historical female who needs no introductions: Lisa del Giocondo, also known as Mona Lisa.
Fun fact about Lisa: the painting made by Leonardo de Vinci of her has been used in more than 300 other paintings and 2000+ advertisements so far! (source) Yikes! The commercials have mostly focused on the aspect of ‘restoring’ or ‘ageing well’, so Mona Lisa has unfortunately had to promote everything from wrinkle creams to shampoo to pizza (ew?). Well, we’re still adding our own variant to the list, but hey, at least we’re acknowledging Lisa as a real person (a person who really likes Ovi, that is)! 
So, behold the 2457th ad using Mona Lisa!
As usual, please let us know what you think in the comment section or via e-mail to niini@ovi.com
Im a little bit curious about this as the same feeling when I visited Monalisa in Louvre Museum last year. I was really surprised that she has the most visitors than other paintings inside the gallery considering its size. Believe me, there are other stunning paintings that are also worth seeing. Anyway, Monalisa’s iconic smile will always inspire more people, the same way OVI is doing. All the best.
Hi, reymos! It’s true: Mona Lisa is definitely overexposed, especially in Western media. You know, I actually toyed around with a Tweet combining Botticelli’s ‘Venus’ and Maps, but it didn’t quite come together, heh
Mona Lisa’ popularity seems to be very self-accumulating; everyone wants to see it since it’s become so amazingly popular. The magic has to be in that mysterious smile!! However, Mona Lisa has managed to develop quite a strong brand of herself, which is exactly what we here at Ovi by Nokia aim to achieve as well 
So thanks for your comment & please come back again!!
These are hilarious! I LOL’d! How about posting these more frequently?? I hope you have plenty more since the tweets are teh only reason I follow this blog. Thanks for the laughs!!
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, Im one of your avid fans of the site. Actually, I already created my own Historical Tweet, courtesy of “The Thinker”. Just visit my personal website and you will find what Im saying. Since NOKIA thru ovi.com is the major sponsor of the forthcoming 2009 Pinoy Expats Blog Awards (Philippines) which my blogsites is one of the nominees, The Thinker tweeted his sculpture, Auguste Rodin to help him invite his ovi contacts to attend this event. Your comment thru my blog will be highly appreciated.
@Petri P.: Hey, thank you so much for the kind words! As a matter of fact, we do still have quite a few Tweets lined up so keep checking the blog (I try to post one every Thursday)
Sneak peek to this week’s tweet: Sun Tzu muses about Files! *suspense*
@Reymos: Wow, just checked out your site and the tweet you made is SO COOL! I loved it! I’m super glad the Historical Ovi Tweets have inspired you to create your own!
I just dropped you an e-mail re: your tweet, please get back to me asap!
Hi Niini, I got your email and I already replied. Im excited to see my ovi tweets here! hahaha!…Historical Tweets also gave me a positive comment on my tweets!
Hi Niini!
I agree. Mona Lissa has been in the advertisements a lot. Also, she usually appears in different movies, cartoon scene and even fun jokes. But until now, I cannot understand really about the so-called “smile”.. she seems not smiling to me. But she’s really pretty.
It’s my first time on your page, and I have been reading some of the Historical OVI Tweet articles here!
Like Reymos, I belong to PEBA also (Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards), an organization that promotes Filipino bloggers around the world. I wish you could drop by in my page and see what can you say about my contribution for the historical tweet.. mine is the “Pieta”.
Hey there, Rio!
Thanks for your comment as well (and for being a new Ovi Blog reader!!), already sent you an e-mail as well
Hi Niini!
I am also from PEBA and posted Historical Tweets too featuring David & Aphrodite!
And yes, more PEBA members/supporters will pass their historical tweets too to support NOKIA.
NOKIA is our partner/sponsor for the forthcoming event in the Philippines on December 26, 2009.
care to see my tweet?
Hi, A-Z-E-L!
