Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Degas updated
The girl on this mural on the wall of a dry cleaning shop doesn't look too hot, sweaty, or tired. A far cry from Edgar Degas' Les Repasseuses (The ironers)
The contrast in your photos today is hysterical. And, the women in Degas' painting don't have a strap fetchingly displaying their attractions, either. I guess work in a laundry is far better these days.

Their expressions are priceless!
These are both wonderful in different ways.
And she looks much more alert, too. Maybe some people really get off on ironing. Never met one but who knows?
Are they selling sex or ironing? ;)
Easy-to-use steam iron notwithstanding, I have never looked like this while ironing. :~}
Well...I have to admit...in architecture and painting...I lean toward old and classic!!!
Not to mention Picasso's:
