That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 02, 2022

Why is there a shadow behind her head, but not across her face? Is she actually glowing?

/// Prompt Queen Charlotte would always insist

that appointments must never be missed.

She would meet tête-à-tête

with Marie Antoinette

on time, (wearing a watch on each wrist).

Little know fact that her dress doubled as a chair.

Eunice could hoop it up with the best of them!

Cinderella realising the Prince isn’t going to show. Ever.

Bet she isn’t the only one who’d love to be in her pants and sweat.

George III got 13 problems, but she ain’t one of them.

Tis a sight to give a chap pause../

She’s desperate – grasping at straws/

With her tiny, pale paws/

And she’s got to, because/

Her Majesty’s drowning in gauze !

(But she’s probably breaking no laws…)

Her life was an endless “shtupp”/

she barely had time to sup../

then it’s “back to the sack”/

for another “attack”/

his Majesty never let up !

They begat with relentless monotony/

They left us an army of progeny/

The King had his biases/

but he can’t be accused of misogyny.

Well, she had at least 15 pregnancies, so sweatpants should very much be allowed.

I’m surprised humans are still around considering the awful things women have done to their bodies with clothes through the ages

They’ll never know I’m going commando!

Woman Observing Nevada Atomic Tests, 1951

solstice*1947, I can’t “unsee” the skull now that you said that!!! Weird!!!

And I feel the same way whenever I’m dressed up: Can’t wait to get back in the grubby clothes!

How do we know she ISN’T wearing her sweatpants?

She plopped down in the chair in sheer utter frustration discovering it was a painting behind the curtain and not a window offering some fresh air.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to dress up for this painting?”

It is so hard to find a properly boned and laced set of sweats.

I would, too. Hey, baby.

Sir Thomas portrayed the Queen/ unpregnant- (how rare that had been !)But he had to paint fast/

For the chance wouldn’t last..

Since of pregnancies she had fifteen..

Maretha, waiting for George to finish with his little war. it’s been 3 years and she is horny.

This time, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #833 (May 7, 2012) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far 4 works, by this artist, have been used here (4 times, including this repeat). The November 26, 2012, strip has its first time (the 22 hyperlinks in my comment there have been deactivated, and the line breaks removed, but perhaps the text remains informative). The February 10, 2010, strip has the last 2 works by him used there. The active artist info URLs in my comment there are pointed to by here links in my blog comment.

Painted in 1789 when she was 45 – so probably out of the pregnancy biz. Meanwhile, in France, the “fun” is just beginning…

When the Revolution went down/

The Bourbons tried to get outta town/

poor Louis Sixteen/

and his Austria Queen /

/achieved a most costly renown..///

The French are a hot blooded nation/

economically prone to inflation/

Of the hard working “Jacquerie”/

Can lead to your decapitation …///

England’s royals hold a far safer station./

They keep going, each new generation/

Of uniformed louts/

(Descended from Krauts)/

Seems to generate some new sensation…

George III had been sane right up until he realized that he’d spent his life boffing a woman who looked like George Washington in drag.

Eventually she realized that nobody could tell she was dancing the time warp.
