That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 25, 2019

Looking for an uptown girl.

Edward VII after going on Atkins.

Back in the days when PETA stood for Pelts Elaborately Togging Aristocracy.

“One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!”

No! It’s my Elder Wand! Get me my costume— I’m playing Gandalf!

A painting that didn’t qualify for Great Moments In Phallic Portraiture.

I hope my outfit is not exaggerated.

Billy Joel was previously known as Sir Luke Fildes? You may be right. I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for.

“I can finally stand straight without this stick up my ,,,”

I don’t know, Maurice. Maybe the bows are too much…

Anybody remember the tv show ‘Queen for a Day’ ?…….I think that’s the same robe they used for the winner.

ah, this is from after Billy Joel morphed into Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.

I wonder what he had to wade through.

The king’s last request was to pose with the rope that would hang him.

Herman’s German ermine.

Yes, I am carrying the drapes on my shoulders. Now, I have the rod, which window do you want these over?

Does this pose make me look majestic?

Looks more like Kaiser Bill or a Russian Tsar.

Luckily Roger Stone was given time to get dressed for arrest.

Its the “Harpsichord Man”.

What I said about “Don’t go trying’ some new fashion?” Well, turns out its kind of fun

Duchess Bertha liked to put on the Duke’s uniform and a fake bead for those rousing nights out with the girls.

“OK, I’m ready to undressed for bed.”

You gotta have a hobby when you wait your whole life to ascend to the throne.

after trying everything to please wife ,he rented this outfit and it did the trick, the diamond helped.

Damn! thought it was Trump without a shave and his “Man-tan”….

His Majesty William Joel seems to be wearing her majesty Nancy Sinatra’s boots!

I love him just the way he is…
