What we’ve got here is a man with a very unhealthy George Hamilton tan. In fact, he’s almost orange. But that’s not the cause for concern here. No, it’s the woman. She’s got big Peggy Bundy hair, blue eyeshadow, and… is that a Kabbalah bracelet? Holy crap, I think it is. It’s the same one Britney wears! What is going on here? Is the diplomat’s wife out of town? Is that why he felt free to bring his two dollar floozy home? I mean, it’s not like she looks like his secretary or anything. Her hair’s not in a chignon! Gasp, maybe the diplomat even gave the help the weekend off, so there would be no witnesses to his perfidy. Dirty, dirty diplomat.
But this man, he’s a change of pace from the usual Fabio types gracing these covers, eh? He’s not muscley, he’s kind of old, and I think maybe he only goes to the gym like… once a week, tops. I can’t get over how orange he is. Like, you know how the Hulk turns green when he’s all pissed? Well, this guy is as orange as the Hulk is green. I think he uses tanning lotion AND goes to a tanning salon at least twice a week. Dude is orange.

And yet another book that I remember reading when I was younger, and thinking “oh, so that’s what an attractive person looks like”…god. God. I’ve got to go purge.

Just noting here that the original Oompa-Loompas in “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” were also incredibly orange. Coincidence? I think not. This guy’s related to them.

I love book covers. I can’t seem to resist them when I go to the store.

I’m ashamed to say that I remember reading some of these books. My mom was a big Harlequin reader when I was growing up. I feel like I just went down memory lane!
Thanks for the trip.

Well, this is the first time I ever popped over to a blog and found myself linked (without me begging for it, that is!) I like your style. Come visit me today, we’re having a tantric sex special. And I promise I’ll reciprocate (with a LINK, that is) later this evening, when I’m back at my own computer. Thanks,

Tantric sex? Is Sting involved? ‘Cause if he isn’t, I don’t know if I want anything to do with it. Ain’t tantric without Sting.
