It is buge'wazee to be a hip blogger. So MooPig is opening up a can of hipster to show a photo essay of the oldest human profession known: guitar pickin' and grinning.{~~~~this is how you hold a guitar pick, ...circa Stone Age
"What's in a name?" Today's name: GIBSON
"What's in a name?" Today's name: GIBSON
Every representing picture following has a Gibson in it, except the girlie pictures...
{~~~How to Pick and Grin, ....circa BoJangles Era
{~~~~How to stand very still for photos, neither pickin' nor grinnin' ...circa Boston Tea Party Era
{~~~Gibson-like Girl, dawning of the exaggerated anatomy age... circa: 1935-60
{~~~tokens for Gibson Girls.... circa anytime
{~~spin doctors and voodoo instruments of fatal confusion, git-fiddle not yet idiot proofed, but they are cool looking, circa: pre-idiot proofing era
Pre-Excorsist era instruments looked like devices of torture, used only by sicko's of WWII. After that was the Cold War, and it has lingered on as the Roswell Cover up era. I like to call it....
{~~~~Orwellian tinkering with modern technology, and dawn of the greys and further examples of major exagerrated anatomy in the male shape... circa Orwellian Era
{~~~~How to impress the girls, and paint with broad brush strokes while investing large sums of money in technology that is impossible to understand or fix if it breaks... circa: Cinematography Age
{~~~~~How to full court press, dunk and take handouts by a GIBSON, circa: All Rights Reserved Era
{~~~the year James Dean died, and the Gibson classic arrived, circa 1955 pre-386 computer age
{~~~~Full accessories now perfected, whereas before this era, you didn't need this cabinet for shit, all you previously needed was a grin and a pick... circa: Accessory Era
{~~further relics of Idiot Proofing Era
{~~a GIBSON grinnin' with pickup girls before posing for a mug shot, staggeringly, circa Hey Baby Era
{~~~~Grinnin', pickin' Basketballin' and eatin'....circa: Present Day Son of Gibson
{~~~for all those gibson's who come to MooPig for girlie studies.... circa: Gibson Girl, the Next Generation
And the Payoff... nothing to do with Gibsons.
{~~~ Gibons Girl 2008... "I got dos' Gibon Ridmz, all up and down my spine... and my bags are packed... and I was a Gibson girl back in Park Ridge... yabalaba labi a yo yah, digga digga o'chay." circa to the moon, Alice

Very nice moo. But, I am a little....-how should I say this so as to not offend you sai?
As I followed along in a downward vertical manner through another rebus-inspired post I knew; just knew there would be a payoff??!!
Knowing, as I do, that MP has a finely hone appreciation for the finer things, such as art.
And, knowing as you do, the two most important artists of century 20 were Varga and Frazetta-it seems though you must have forsaken the origin of that thread-The Gibson Girl.
Where is my Gibson Girl?
ooops! hold on there a few, let me go blogsluttin'....
So-no genuine Gibson Girls; too bad. Probably a licensing/branding/content ownership/copyright/likeness/image issue, no? By the way, a little trick I learned from Dr. Drew-any time you wish to spew forth some bullshit that want some sap to agree with; make your statement and follow with no as voice raises in pitch slightly to imply that you actually care about the specimen's opinion, no?
At least you got Frazetta in there.
In the interest of further screwing with your original premise for this particular post, I located this link,http://www.pamelina.com/pamelina_188.htm, the Betty Page guitar which, is a Fender, not a Gibson, ironically.
Hey, thanks for the specious argument. I'm practicing with this photo essay style for the next MTC #8. I might get an honorable mention next time, no?
It turns out, the formatting I do in the html somehow doesn't come out the way I invision it in the final product. So I will keep on trying, no?
Guitar Tattoo-ing; Hmmmm... Price ranging from $12,000 to $15,000, I would have to sell 35 paintings, framed, to make a down payment. I know!! ...maybe Pattie Page could drop by and sign my canvasses, no?
YKWLY,
Pato-san
