That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 11, 2020

The sculptor was good, but he was so slow the models kept falling asleep.

“I was expecting something more. This is really a kind of a bust.”

The “after” model for breast implants at the plastic surgeon’s office.

“What does your program say?” “Number 21: The Smug Princess.”

“Don’t you hate it when someone takes a bust of you and your eyes are closed.”

“I don’t know what he saw in her?”

“I heard she paid for him to make it.”

pam and susie thought they might find something nice at the garage sale, but it was a bust…

The sculpture is called “Patricia of Louisiana”…….more wildly known as “Busted Pat in Baton Rouge”. It’s displayed in the waiting room at the train station. It’s also known as the place where Kris Kristofferson penned a little toon titled ‘Me and Bobby McGee’ which was popularized by Janis Joplin. A truly inspirational piece of artwork because nothin’, don’t mean nothin’ hon’ if it ain’t free.

Here’s the plaster version; apparently the sculptor has lost his marbles.

The Venus de Milo reproduction was currently incomplete.

She was a cocky little bitch, but we cut her down to size.

“Doris that’s you.”“Yes it is. It’s called “Meh”

You should see the artist’s body of work.

Leon’s “ingenious” portraiture posing was actually never meant to be anything more than an opportunity to stare at some bodacious booty for a few hours.

Yes, but I have a bigger butt than her.

At least no one called her a “butter face”.

Even that bust doesn’t think much of that green and yellow atrocity Susie is wearing.

He wants a quiet wife, I’ll buy this for him and leave his ass!

“Can you see the price tag, Louise?”

Frankly, I think she could use a little color.

Boo were used to have standards around here

She’s got nobody

That’s what he did to his first wife, so I’d be careful if I were you!

“I ain’t got no body, and nobody cares for me..”

She was known as a “friend of the flask”/ she would drink anything if you’d ask/ but she chose to imbibe/ with the MAGA hat tribe/ and she never wore that damn mask..

Awfully pale, too. She needs to get out in the fresh air and sunlight more often.

Woman on the left: “Seems a bit too ornate for a cookie jar.”

Margo already had something of a reputation. Being busted merely added to the grist of the rumor mill.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, Chrome can translate as necessary, and if askart.com is truncated, it can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here.

has the prior (my comment there included two of the artist info URLs, the third has disappeared). Mr. Melcher had the correct spelling the the artist’s last name (Wyczółkowski, one less o) that time.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2533 (September 10, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

Even in real life, Myrna always had that fake demureness to go along with her I’m so much better than the rest of you¨" attitude.

No wonder, when she wasn’t looking, the girls painted a mustache and goatee on her bust.

No, I don’t find it erotic at all. That whole ‘close your eyes and think of the queen’ stuff never does a thing for me.

In the waiting room at Lady Medusa’s Beauty Salon and Statuary.

She was always an object of lust/ to the men of the upper crust/ but they lost their desire/ when she gained her spare tire/ so they only erected a bust.

Back in the days before mirrors were invented.

Jeffery like to put up put up little reminders of his previous conquest so that he could admire them. And he assumed that his current conquests would enjoy looking too.

She does have an hourglass figure, but not great legs.

“I’ve seen it before; it’s all done with smoke and mirrors”

Someday … I want an urn just like that one.

“Advise me, Dolley. Did you ever want to just boot him out of the House?”

The woman in green looks like a half peeled zucchini from the back.

Poor Annie! She spent so much time on her complexion, the rest of her just withered away…
