That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 08, 2021

Colette never ever had to light her own cigarette.

Guess where I hid my cell phone

Madame, evaluating her product

The hat was there so she just decided to sit under it.

“Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 2” – the girl you don’t bring home to Mother.

From the Guinness Book—Longest Human Shinbone.

“Paint a picture, it will last longer!”

rosalind russell, confused about which part she’s playing in gypsy…

“What does a girl have to do to get a drink around here?”

“Next…..”

Mae West, back in her teens.

Egrets, she’s had a few…

She soon discovered why people used cigarette holders after the embarrassing feather fire.

“Better wear the white gown, I’m almost out of paint.”

The cigarette is a ruse/ a ploy that fools rustics like youse/ but if you were to peek/ deeper into her cheek/..she’s from Arkansas, folks- and she chews.

Of course her hat is black – she’s at her husband’s funeral.

Darling, do you think this dress makes my shoulders look too big?

One of sixteen vestal virgins, Who were leaving for the coast……………………………………………………. That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of pale.

Hatcheck girl: Goodness, what beautiful diamonds!

Maudie: Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie.

(Maudie Triplett [Mae West] to Hatcheck Girl [Patricia Farley – uncredited] in Night After Night – 1932.)

Burrrrrriipp

Naughty Nat MacQueen was famous for his bait-and-switch routine.

“Have I ever told you that I was the inspiration for Jessica Rabbit? They stole that line " I’m just drawn that…"

“YEAH YEAH. We’ve heard it like a thousand times now!”

The funniest yet. Brilliant.

What you see now is much, much better when totally uncovered, Big boy!

“Hmmmm … I see yours hangs to the right … the most of what I see hang to the left!”

“So you invited me over to paint an actual picture? Nothing else is coming to mind?”

Is the artiste also unknown?

The artist wished to remain anonymous. If his wife found out, she’d kill him.

Nobody’s gonna tell me I can’t wear white after Labor Day.

Of course I can stand! But it just took me a half hour to sit!! :>)

You put your left foot in … you put your left foot out …

For now use your imagination, when I undress you will marvel at the sight of me nude!
