Theater Engagement Four

We are still in Winnipeg, in the alley behind The Gas Station Theatre building. On the corner, there’s this pretty lady.

Gas #18


When I say she’s on the corner, I mean literally on the corner.

Gas #22

She’s a bit chipped up from the harsh winters since 2006 when she was painted by an unknown artist, but she’s still quite wonderful. I hated to leave, but Sherrie had me on 20 minute allotments per mural.

Gas #20

Oh look, it’s the Sea Bugs along the other side.

Gas #21

Blue Prince

There’s a rumor going around that if you kiss a frog, he’ll turn into a prince. What if it was a blue frog like this one from a Mural that covers Pet Traders at 1333 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg? Would he turn into a blue prince? What if you accidentally kissed a toad? Don’t worry!

Pretty Girls 2

“Diamonds are nice and so are pearls,
but there’s nothing like us pretty girls” (unknown quote)

This quote was submitted  by Le Drake Noir  in the comments section of my post from February 2, 2013 titled “For Your Love”

It has inspired my series of Pretty Girl Posts, so all “Pretty Girl” posts are dedicated to Le Drake Noir.
