That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 05, 2017

“Umm…I found her this way.”

Family camping trip and the girl is the first one to succumb to Internet withdrawal.

“Dude…how many deer wear yellow dresses? THINK before you throw that thing!”

Tell Bill Cosby we have found the right formula.

Ok Bill what did you do!!!

Her ID says Bo Peep

So many good comments! Bilan, Orinoco, maltmash3r – :D

Maybe she needs a shot of adrenaline to her heart using a gigantic cardiac syringe?

" All I told her was, Grimm had been cancelled…"

“I told you we shouldn’t let the Beatles play here.”

“I just told her goldenrod as a fashion color is SO last millennium.”

Unfortunately, too many of my patients are dying from an overdose.

I guess she’s not the right one for a gang bang. gave out after 2 hours

Her driver’s license says Goldilocks and she screamed something about more damn bears right before she fainted.

The lady is Imogen, from Shakespeare’s play, Cymbeline. Imogen, daughter of the king Cymbeline, secretly marries her lover Posthumus. Cymbeline kicks him out of the court. Posthumus meets up with Iachimo, a sociopath, who, upon hearing Posthumus praise Imogen’s chastity, makes him a major bet that he (Iachimo) can seduce Imogen. He fails, but in the process he learns enough about Imogen to convince Posthumus that he succeeded. After much to-ing and fro-ing, Imogen, exiled from the court, sheltering with Belarius, takes a drug which she believes to be medicine but which is actually a strong sleeping potion. The moment when they find her seemingly dead from the sleeping potion is the scene Dawe chose for his painting.

Illustrations from Shakespeare were quite popular at the time, so Dawe was doing his best to cash in. Dawe’s principal claim to fame is a set of 329 portraits of Russian generals from the Napoleonic wars done for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace.

Curiously enough, although the authenticity of the painting is not in doubt, the provenance is mysterious. The Tate, which now owns the work, merely says, “It was purchased by P. M. Hill from a dealer, who has not divulged the source it came from.” It’s also intriguing that there is another painting by Dawe of the same image, larger than the painting at the Tate, now at the Museum of New Zealand, a gift to them in 1936 from the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts. It would be interesting to know more about the history of these two works.

Dawe was the son of Philip Dawe, also a successful artist. He is out of fashion in his native country, but apparently still well-regarded in Russia, probably mostly due to the Hermitage collection of his military portraits.
