That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 11, 2020

Grandma was in the camouflage department during the War.

Connie forgot to check the wallpaper before she went to the party.

Anyone else read that short story, “The Yellow Wallpaper?”

Whenever the station got a new weather (girl?) the tech crew always pulled the old prank of changing the chromakey color to match her dress.

“Dante, did I mention that my husband is only going to pay a fourth of your asking price for this painting?”

I can honestly say that dress doesn’t make your ass look big.

(the first time in history a man was able to say that with a straight face)

Lord Byron, your hair is just as big as hair gets. I wouldn’t go swimming in the Hellespont until you get a trim; your locks will create too much of a drag. Write a poem instead, you old Don Juan, you!

" I..ain’t got no bod-eee..and nobody cares for me.."

I like the matching purse.

“That’s the last time I will ever try and microwave four mac and cheeses at once.”

This is how you paint pictures with very high-priced models in them. Do the model first, worry about the rest later.

Especially if she is the wife of one of your pre-Raphaelite gang.

orange is the new orange…

Betty had mastered the floating hands trick.

On the contrary, it really makes your head pop.

“The Girl With the Midas Touch”

A-ha’s “Take on Me” in technicolor.

Tired of saying “my eye’s are up here”, Connie finally found a way to get the boy’s eyes off her well endowed body.

Rossetti (as is well-known)/ was not just a poet alone./ He “doubled in brass”/ as a poet (alas)/ he has much for which to atone.

After his divorce, Hiram, a devoted hunter, mounted his ex’s head on the wall as a trophy. It was later displayed in court at his trial as “Exhibit One”.

The exact look on her face when she saw the final painting.

A wooden dress to match the wooden walls.

“But I will not wear that gaudy orange, I will not. It is not my colour wheel and I’m not gonna wear it.” Leigh Anne Touhy to Michael Oher in The Blind Side (2009).

No, I will NOT accept the second payment in olives!

I think the lipstick color is wrong. You need to change it to, say, orange.

“Look, I’m the ARTIST, and I SAY the painting is done!”

Rosetti captures the Invisible Woman in transition.

Reminds me of the cheshire cat.

“Hi, I’m Judy from the next-door dimension. Could I borrow a cup of sugar?”

After all these months of lockdown, because of the pandemic, Frances Mary began to think that she was slowly fading into oblivion … and the curse of curses, she had not been able to get to her hairdresser for the past 6 months!

Sometimes… The effect can be useful!

Originally painted as a nude, Rossetti was forced to paint over the good bits when his mom found the portrait stuffed under his mattress.

whatever is that white smudge on my dress? from john last night?

Who said that?!

“Listen, when are you going to finish the painting?”

“I’ll finish it.”“When? You’ve barely started.”

“Barely started?! I’ve more than started.”

“You started this five years ago.”

“So? Art takes time.”

“So it’s going to take another five years for you to finish it?"

“What?! Excuse me?! I am an artist! I will not be insulted! Out! Leave! Be gone!”

Ginny Potter was holding a rummage sale.

Take a day off?
