Alphabet of Brooke Shields


This small bit of grafitti has been popping up all over London for the past few weeks, and is puzzling the living daylights out of everyone who spots it. From Tower Bridge to Wembley Park, it's everywhere. There are even reports of it appearing as far away as Hamburg and the Netherlands.
A Google search reveals nothing but bemused blogs speculating as to what's so special about the actress, model, former Mrs Andre Agassi and sparring partner of Tom Cruise. Does she have her own private alphabet? What?

Londonist spotted it, but none of their readers were any the wiser. A Flickr pool has been set up dedicated to cataloguing all of Ms. Shields alphabetic appearances, including a map of all the recorded AOBS locations. There's a Facebook group dedicated to solving the mystery. The website www.alphabetofbrookeshields.com contains nothing but a plea for the person who created them to get in touch. It's a genuine mystery.

What's it all about, ALPH - A?
