That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 12, 2022

The 1920’s – the dark days before the invention of the Wonder Bra

Gatsby is offering rides in his new automobile. Remember to wear a scarf – it’s going to be chilly since it’s a convertible!

“Tell me again, are we Art Deco or Art Nouveau?”

“I can’t wait for the flat chested look to be over so I can unwrap these babies and let them be free!”

/// Two young ladies, each seeking a chap,

tightly flatten their breasts with a strap.

They’d use feminine wiles

in the new “flapper” styles,

but how can they when nothing can flap?

Artist unknown. I wouldn’t put my name on this either.

Well dressed stick figures

Harpers Bazaar design?

If he calls me “old sport” one more time, I’ll put a Great Depression in his head.

They’re crushing their “naughty bits”!/

They must be losing their wits !/

They’ve cruelly suppressed/

“Man’s best friend”- the breast../

That’s no way to treat your t#ts …

Freshman Art Class Assignment: Place the Flintstones in a Different Art Style. Here we have Barney and Betty

Brazen young hoydens like these/

Are the future: get used to it, please !/

They’re boyishly slim../

Our prospects are dim/

Pretty soon they’ll be showing their knees !

I wish this was the 2020’s – then I could stop strapping down “the girls” and maybe eat a full meal now and then.

Standing in front of Friday’s.

Keats’ ode waxed rhapsodic over a Grecian urn. / For his “lady,” Shakespeare used sonnets to voice how he yearned. / There’s just no denying / Men are constantly trying / To guess in which direction ladies’ hemlines will turn.

Pickleball is named after the inventor’s dog "Pickles"… why he would name a dog “Pickles” I have no idea

It was bad enough that her husband kept stealing from her wardrobe, but she seethed over the realization that he wore it better than she did.

Ya gotta give it to Gatsby! He sure is a good Egg … Was it East or West? I can’t remember.

They kinda look okay!

“No, Butch, from the looks of that mob that’s forming, I don’t think the heels have fooled anyone into thinking we’re really women.”

Oh, you don’t know? I’m pretty sure when that kid went “pew! pew! pew!” with his finger pointing to your dress, he was thinking Space Invaders at the time.

Gatsby’s coming? Oh, great.

I really like these new style dresses, having no breasts makes you more in style

Sorry, Theodora, that dress is Greek to me.

Alpha ’nother one.

Oh, I yearn for the day when I will have a figure like the spacing between the balusters.

Scandal for Bernice — she has bobbed her hair!
