In a historcial meeting with the Meninas the maestro George Martin interpretated some of the great successes of The Beatles. Before a crowd of more than 100 thousand people, the live concert took place at the Quinta da Boa Vista (Rio de Janeiro), within the Projeto Aquarius [1]. On the preface of his book of memories “SGT PEPPER'S”, he mentioned the girls and said: " ...Only angles can sing like this..."

The Other Meninas has come about as a project of the "Woman Together" Association. The goal of this group is to expand knowledge about the menina figure through art, while ... increasing social awareness of the feminine condition, since the artists are contributing with their work to the World Fund for Micro-loans.

The mirror [in Las Meninas] faces the observer as in Van Eyck's painting. But here the procedure is more realistic to the degree that the "rearview" mirror in which the royal couple appears is no longer convex but flat. Whereas the reflection in the Flemish painting recomposed objects and characters within a space that is condensed and deformed by the curve of the mirror, that of Velázquez refuses to play with the laws of perspective: it projects onto the canvas the perfect double of the king and queen positioned in front of the painting. Moreover, in showing the figures whom the painter observes, and ... through the mediation of the mirror, the figures who are observing him, the painter achieves a reciprocity of gazes that makes the interior oscillate with the exterior and which causes the image to "emerge from its frame" at the same time that it invites the visitors to enter the painting.[46]
