Is He Wearing a Sweater Under His Shirt?

September 7, 2005

Covers

Oh, Lord, I was looking through my archives of romance novel covers (I have a couple of gigs worth, I think) when I stumbled upon this little gem and spat a mouthful of “Oriental Beauty” tea all over my keyboard. I don’t even know where to begin. I mean, I know a hairy chest is supposed to be a sign of virility in a man, but the amount of hair on this guy’s chest is ridiculous. I bet he’s got a hairy back and a hairy neck, too. I bet if he took off his shirt, he’ll look like he’s wearing a sweater. Plus he’s got this strange caveman-like face and he’s… oh, crap, I think he’s a Neanderthal! Look at this guy, he almost looks like Donkey Kong! Tell me I’m lying! Just check out the way his forehead kind of slopes and the primate-like way that his chin kind of protrudes. This guy is an ape in a shirt.

Speaking of the shirt, why is it unbuttoned? Who thought it was a good idea to leave his shirt unbuttoned when his goddamn chest is so hairy tha it’s a veritable forest and there must be creatures living in there? Also, I hate the pose. He looks like he’s copying Fabio or something and that’s just kind of sad.

    Oh, honey. Chest fur aside, I totally thought Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing when I saw this.
