That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 02, 2022

Far as Valérie was concerned, she was too good for anyone else.

Narcissa always loved the way she looked in pink

Kissing the mirror was just like kissing the count: cold, unyielding and never showing anything that was not a reflection of her.

Sheri’s boyfriend was such a cold fish that the only warmth she could find was in the mirror.

“Mirror, mirror on the stand. who’s the prettiest in the land.”

“Why, ME! Of course.”

if Narcissus had a daughter…

Of course it’s Windex. She kisses herself so much that the maid goes through a quart of the stuff every two days.

Choosing glass over flesh is insanity.

When men tried osculation

she would threaten castration.

Oh, (they’re shot down in flames) the humanity!

Chris Galera gets engaged.(Look her up; she married herself and then divorced herself when she met someone else.)

Narcissa embracing the single life…literally.

The girl needs glasses, that’s all.

Should’ve gone to Specsavers!

The only one that won’t kiss and tell.

Her hair is done to perfection,

She likes what’s seen in reflection,

Her make up is right,

Her dress, skin tight,

If she were male, she’d have an erection.

So the story goes:

The older girls at one high school found it necessary to re-apply their lipstick during the day. After lunch, for instance, they would use the Ladies Room to do so, and kiss the large mirror there to test the result. By the end of every day the mirror was covered with lip marks. It had become a fun tradition.

The woman principal disliked this practice, and decided to stop it. She gathered a group of girls in front of the besmeared mirror to point out how inconsiderate it was to the janitor, who every night had to scrub the mirror clean of lipstick.

She called the elderly (male) janitor into the room to show the girls what an effort it was for him to clean the mirror. The janitor shrugged, and took a toilet brush from his cleaning tools, dipped into a toilet, and ran it over the mirror.

So much for that tradition!

“If James Brown can jump back and kiss himself, why can’t I?”

Lucy’s evil twin sister had secretly removed the glass from the mirror and was imitating her every move.

It was than that Rebecca realized she’d been pranked with the old super glue in the lipstick gag

A poem from Fifth Grade years (circa 1953): I love myself, I think I’m grand. I go to the movies and hold my hand. I put my arm around my waist, and when I get fresh, I slap my face!

She’s giving the males a pass:/

She prefers the girl in the glass/

Who thrusts not her tongue/

Where it doesn’t belongue/

(And is not always grabbing her a$$ !)

“See the pretty girl in that mirror there? / Who can that attractive girl be? / Such a pretty face / Such a pretty dress / Such a pretty smile / Such a pretty me!” I Feel Pretty from West Side Story: music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, play by Arthur Laurents (1956).

No tongues!

After last night’s treat she gave herself, she decided she deserved a good morning kiss.

If she can ever tear herself away, Narci is going to kill her little brother for putting super glue on the mirror.

Forerunner to American “reality” TV.

“Ain’t misbehavin’ – I’m savin’ my love for me.”

“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!”

She wondered if other girls also required foreplay before lifting their skirts for some serious self-loving.

She was feeling inexplicably all aflutter with desire only to find it was last night’s beans passing through the corset’s constrictions.

As she practiced for her first kiss, she noticed she could see the inside of her nose and was delighted to find a way to show off what she felt was her best feature.

Perhaps she is Eddy Cantor’s mother. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X97SpmoRN2E

I will lavish my kisses on Owen and he will rise up to the occasion, I hope?

/// Through the looking glass, once, as a child

Alice ventured; the outcome was wild.

In her pretty pink dress

she recalls playing chess

and becoming a Queen. Alice smiled.

/// Tinted halfway between Red and White,

she’d accepted the aid of a Knight.

Reached the end of the board

both acclaimed and adored.

Now she kisses herself in delight.

Ruby loved kissing her. especially surrounded in gold, but had to just imagine she was really there. she was always on a “business trip”.

Kim Kardiashian’s ancestress

There is no mirror.
