Thanks to all the Cheapos who have contributed guesses in our “name that celebrity” mystery photo quiz posted last week. Gazing out our window at Broadway and Houston in New York, we wondered who was getting painted by billboard artists on the wall across the way.

Five days later, we’re still wondering…and she’s almost done! 

There was speculation a-plenty when she was only a forehead, including, notably: Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Tyra Banks, and Chelsea Clinton. But today, with her body fully painted (save a bit of forearm), we’re still shaking our heads. (The photo above was taken at 5 PM Monday.)

Is it possible that (gasp!) H&M is using an unknown model for this billboard? Could she be a no-name? Just another pretty face with an interesting nose and a spray tan?

In any case, we’ll be giving away a book to somebody. We just have to settle the matter first. Stay tuned. And keep guessing!

Who IS that girl? Identify her and win “The Rough Guide to Europe on a Budget.”

We’re not procrastinating, but… We were just gazing out of our window at Broadway and Houston in New York and realized that a new billboard is being painted right before our eyes!

But who is she?

The first comment below to correctly identify the celebrity will win a copy of the “Rough Guide to Europe on a Budget,” newly out in bookstores! Quick! Name her!

Question: In which EuroCheapo city is this fountain found?
