I never watched Transformers. It was after my time.
However, I fell in love with the
Citroen DS (aka Goddess, if you like puns in Franglais) the first time I saw one. It is a pure and true adoration, and my various winning the lottery fantasies always include owning at least one in mint condition.
Today, at the New York Times there was an article on a Citroen Transformer created by artist Chico MacMurtrie.
Go have a look, and don't forget to click on the video showing the transformation. She goes from the sleekest, sexiest car on the road to a Mecha as elegant as the Chrysler building (though I think the inflatable is cheating a little).
Go, go. It's gorgeous!
