That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 05, 2024

Pearl Earing With a Girl

/// His “Girl With a Pearl Earring”— iconic.

Vermeer clearly had cravings hedonic.

“Let’s just keep things Platonic,”

she sighed (in tones sardonic).

Thus destroying his dream embryonic.

I think I’m in love with Scarlett Johansson, yet I’ve never seen that movie.

Number 1 search on Pornhub: shaved eyebrows.

It’s a spare diaper, accidents do happen

It’s the kind of aside glance you expect to see in a sitcom, with comedic hijinks and a laugh track.

Looks like Shelley Duvall (RIP)

She insisted on a blue bandage after the clumsy ear piercing professional made her bleed like a stuck pig.

Who is Vermeer? I thought that portrait was the work of Banksy.

“No cause for alarm, my dear..”/

Said he. (He’d arrived from the rear.)/

“I’ve brought brushes and paint/

And my intentions ain’t/

What you fear: I’m intrigued by your ear.”

She: I miss not being able to comment on Political Toons…..commenting on them asmade me more sexy as a woman!

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2465 (June 7, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 8 works by him have been used here (11 times total, including this and 2 prior repeats), the June 8, 2020, strip being its first use. The July 31, 2023, strip has his latest here (another repeat, when Mr. Melcher was in Ireland last year).

“My sister wears the other one.”

“That was such a long winter, I have GOT to get me some sun!”

We I got to see this painting in The Hague, the skin just glowed. I got the feeling her cheek would give way if pressed.

Some comments from 6/8/2020 posting:

BE THIS GUY: Local fashion designer lent the model the turban hoping to get some free publicity. It didn’t workout the way he hoped.

Strob: “I have no idea what happened to the bowl of cherries.”

Strob: ♫“You can leave your earring on…”♫

Calvins Brother: ZZ TOP: Pearl Necklace!

rmremail: Oh, I thought the shorts were wrapped around her hair

Snoopy_Fan: His next painting, Girl With a Nose Ring, was not as popular.

Call me Ishmael: He completed the series with “Girl with a Tongue-stud”.

Call me Ishmael: “Excuse me, Mister Vermeer / but must you approach from the rear? / The things that a girl / must do for a pearl / are growing exceedingly queer…”

No, Ned… I can’t go out with you tonight..I have to stay home and dry my hair….
