Somebody who is popular with un-popular friends, somebody who everyone pays attention too but not their friends or the people their around, they get ignored while Mona Lisa is the center of attention.

"Have you seen Emily's breasts? Her tits are like "Wow!" but also kind of "Meh." at the same time... I feel like her cleavage is somehow smiling at me--but also frowning at me! It's like she's got that whole Mona Lisa Cleavage thing going on. You know, like auntie Sara."
