That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 02, 2024

She got paid extra.

/// “Female Nude (seated) with Plaster Head”

Some translations will say “Bust” instead.

Each an obvious joke.

Did the painter provoke

the poor model with puns ‘til she fled?

“When you want busts we’ve got them, all type and sizes. Come to ‘Busts Are Us’! Where we are all about the busts!”

Ok, now I understand why she has such poor posture.

It’s nice that the artist gave the model a cushion to sit on, so she doesn’t get splinters from that old wooden desk.

Hey bust, my eyes are up here.

When Veronica wants to be shocking/

She engages in public unfrocking/

But due to the pains/

Of varicose veins/

She never removes a stocking.

Jane was unhappy with the artist’s portrayal of her, so she decided to protest, and do a sit in.

The comments wouldn’t be complete without the line from Naked Gun:

" Is this some kind of bust?"

“Well… it’s very impressive, yes, but…”

He hasen’t made a move since I stripped. Maybe I should wave a little.

Ironically (I guess that’s the proper word) she arrived for the sitting dressed in bib overalls with the “Can’t Bust ‘Em” label.

She comes in for a trim and a manicure and look what happens!!

“Yes, its warmer but it could be a little thicker and softer.

Excellent poems from our resident poet laureates.

I prefer the one on the right !

It slowly began to dawn on Doris that maybe this wasn’t the doctor’s Examination Room.

Aber meine Brustwarzen sind da unten.

“Why do you keep this room so chilled, Herr Scholz?”

“To, uh… to save on firewood, fraulein. Yes, that’s it.”

P-Diddy’s secretary complaining to the head of HR

“Meine Augen,” said she, ”are hier oben !”/

But then why, Mein Schatz, are you disrobin’ ?/

That’s one of few ways/

You are worthy of praise:/

(Auf Deutsch, the verb “praise” is “loben”.)

In trying to find a bit more info on this painting, there was a painting of Elisabeth Scholz who looked a lot like the model in this one. Wife? I hope it’s neither his sister, or God forbid, his mother.

Trying to decide which bust to put in the foyer.

Doctor: “Now let’s take a look at that hangnail”

Hey, My Eyes Are Up Here. I had to google translate.

“You can leave your hose on.” … No, that doesn’t quite work, what other items do we have left?

The hair style reminds me of a nursery rhyme: There was a little girl, Who had a little curl, Right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, She was very, very good, But when she was bad, she was horrid.
