That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 14, 2019

For a brief period, mandolin music became very popular in France in the 1870’s.

The ram’s horn dildo just didn’t reach the right spot, so Mildred decided to “repurpose” that funny-looking guitar her aunt had given her for her birthday.

Her playing is terrible, but who cares.

The first step exhausting step of making her wool cape was complete, but C.C. Rider needed a break – “And she’s buy-i-ing a stair-eh-eh-way-ay, to heavun…”

All her functions were sold out.

Whats that dribbling down her leg … she on her period?

Shake them baby.

My hands are down here, buster!

34 B. C. King, surely.

Currently under review on Tumblr.

The “QUEEN” of the BLUES ! (+ now we know why)

Jennay?

She changed her name to Booby King.

She was the breast guitarist in town.

I never realized that ‘Pregnancy Test Strips’ had gone through so many changes. It is nice to know they’re much smaller now.

Someone is trying to bowl a maiden over

A different take on singing in the shower

The bad news is she didn’t get the gig playing at the strip club. The good news is they offered her a different job dancing.

Cute.

Playing “Tequila” makes her clothes fall off.

It wasn’t how little she wore/ although that WAS hard to ignore/ what made her a star/was that pseudo-guitar/which no one had mastered before.

If you like ukulele lady, ukulele lady like you.

Ram on, give your heart to somebody

Soon, right away, right away

“If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair…and little else”

Maybe she can give me some pointers.

The artist entitled the painting “La joueuse de mandore”, i.e. “Woman playing a mandore.” Tearing our eyes from the lovely lady, we ask—after a moment to catch our breath—what’s a mandore? The mandore is a kind of lute, predecessor of the mandolin. The instrument shown here is a very oddly shaped mandore; most were much more pear-shaped. As for the most indelicate and ungentlemanly question posed by odd90745, this detail shows tassels from her gown are what lie along her ever-so-shapely left calf. See https://www.pinterest.com/pin/315955730079986066/ for the detail.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is the first work by him used here.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2201 (May 13, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

She won’t look so serene if she steps on that ram’s horn!

Hazarding a guess at the age of the model, this artist would be arrested under today’s laws.

Shreddin’ it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

She discovered that everyone stopped making fun of her homemade mandore when she took off her top.

The inception of the Tahitian Grunge Movement.

Amazing, one young nude girl painting and you have over fifty comments.

Paula’s playing is so bad, she had to devise a method to attract a audience but those breasts won’t keep them too long, so she is thinking about total nudity.

I imagine she’s a wee bit nippy with no clothes on

Purple haze up in my brain, make me feel like I’m insane

Acting funny, don’t know why, scuse me while I kiss this guy…

“If you want to be taken seriously, remember to keep your legs together.”

But they neglected to tell her she needed to wear a top.

The ad called for musicians who could play Beethoven’s “Eroica” solo, but this poor waif’s manager could not read well, so he convinced his client that all she had to do was to perform “Erotica”. Another prodigy got the job, but Aliya was given a post on the staff of the producer, and performed nightly for a select clientele, developing into quite a sensational talent.

The fake agent strikes again.
