蒙娜丽莎的微笑_gabrielle-in-北京

很多杂志每年都会定期做同一主题的文章。比如在美国，Sports Illustrated每年3月都有一个“泳装”专题，Vogue9月刊也是全球性的盛事。在法国，ELLE每年五月或者六月都会做有关“如何在海边闪耀自我”和“快速减肥”的特别专题，特别是我们在新年过后，每个人体重有所增加，所谓“春季不减肥，夏季徒伤悲”。

Every year magazines have the same articles that come back at the same time. In the US, Sports Illustrated has a special "Swimsuit" issue every March and Vogue September Issue is globally a big deal. In France ELLE will have each May or June the Special Diet "How to look good at the Beach" and "how to lose weight fast" right after Christmas parties when we are all done stuffing ourselves into the New Year.

在中国，我最喜欢的就是每年一度的“结婚季”……当天气回暖，美丽的Belle du Jour们身着神圣美丽的白色、红色或者蓝色礼服，信步街头。准新娘们手腕着未婚夫，穿着拖鞋，小心翼翼地拖着巨大的婚纱在身边走过，他们看起来是那么的美丽、那么的幸福！

In China, my favorite time of the year is "Bridal season".... When the weather turns warm and the streets start filling up with lovely Belle du Jour dressed in pretty white gowns, or red, or blue. When the soon-to-be-wives are walking around with their feet discreetly in flat flip flops under the biggest dresses, dragging the Fiancé and looking so happy and so beautiful!

当然，我的好朋友们都知道我对中国新娘们特有的喜爱，所以当我问起今年我该去哪儿搜寻这些幸福的女人，我的朋友给我介绍了这个位于草场地的名叫MONA LISA的摄影基地。

起初我以为蒙娜丽莎是一个雕塑或者是一个新人们喜欢拍照的艺术园区。

Of course, my friends know my passion for the beautiful Chinese Spring Brides, so when I asked where I should go this year, one of them was kind enough to suggest MONA LISA in Caochangdi.

I thought it was a sculpture or something artsy where couples liked to be photographed.

但是当我到达地点的时候，我发现我错了。Mona Lisa实际上是一个专门拍摄婚纱摄影的梦幻工厂……女孩子们在这里摇身成为世上最美的女人。

I could not have been more wrong. As I found out Mona Lisa is a dream factory specialising in Wedding... And making the girls look as beautiful as possible.

在中国有21家分店，Mona Lisa是每个人婚礼前的准备“梦幻婚纱照”的摄影先驱。他们把每个人照顾的非常周到，从化妆、发型、鞋子到新郎服，每一个准新娘们可以挑至少四套不同的礼服进行拍摄。

With 21 branches all over China, Mona Lisa is a leading studio for the "Dream Wedding" pictures that everyone wants to have before their Big Day. They take care of everything, makeup, hair, shoes, the groom suits, and each girl can pick 4 different gowns to be photographed.

礼服来自世界各地，被小心翼翼地擦拭，在那里静静等待她们的Belle du Jour。

Dresses from all over the world, wrapped delicately in white tulle wait for their Belle du Jour.

这里的装饰令人难以置信。白色花朵和树木，法式的城堡，图书馆以及室外花园，甚至还提供泳池进行水下拍摄。

The decors are incredible. The White flower trees, the French castle, the library, the outdoor, even incredibly a swimming pool

这样的拍摄着实令人震惊。一开始他们不允许我这个奇怪的法国人进入……但是我很确定只要我坚持，我一定可以在那儿找到最耀眼的女孩儿们。一切的等待都是值得的！

It was mind blowing. When I arrived they did not want to let the strange french woman in the door... But I was so sure that I would find the most amazing girls that I insisted. And it was worth it!
