People were amazed that I didn’t have a word to say about Evangeline Collins’ cover. Of course I did. I have an entire entry’s worth of comments on that fluffy monstrosity of purple and fuchsia.
But I figured it would be MUCH more fun to challenge you to Caption That Cover – so it’s fun and games and contest time! Have a long, sweeping look at this cover:
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to caption that cover Using Only One Word. I won’t even give you samples. I don’t want to take one away. Your best one-word caption could win you (a) a paper copy of the book and (b) a $25 gift certificate to the bookstore of your choosing. You have 24 hours to caption that cover – with Only One Word.
Standard disclaimers apply: I’m not being compensated for this giveaway, except to deny myself the pleasure of looking at the cover again and again so as to reassure myself that it is real. Slippery When Wet. No shirt, no shoes, no service. I believe I can call. I think I’ll use the phone in the hall. I’ll call my friends just to say ‘Hi’ with 5 cent Sundays from MCI. I believe I can call. Reach out and touch someone.

I kind of like the soft, fluffy purpleness, but those black and white pillows? in the background distract me. They look like those car seat covers. So my title is:
Moo.

My vote goes for jayhjay
Loved jayhjay’s organzasm, but I gotta say LEW’s heliotrollop was also pure genius.

My vote’s for heliotrollop …. that’s pure awesomeness LEW!
Curtains.
(Note: this makes a lot more sense if you look it up on Urban Dictionary, but for the love of all that is pure and holy, DON’T.)
years56: it will take me 56 years to forget that definition.
Sexcellent.
Wish I could come up with something comment-worthy, as puns are MY thing. The best have already been tossed in the hopper:
jayhjay’s organzasm
LEW’s heliotrollop
Pam’s Tullebox
But they’ve all been a great cackling read!!
Ah so much purple so little time…

“Tool” for being a real word, a pun, and making me snort chai out my nose.
Which I can wipe up with all that fabric.
Flexithighs
When the thighs engage in positions requiring much flexibility.
Ambivalence!
Seriously, each of them has one foot on the floor, like they’re both thinking of making a run for it.
Or maybe it’s just the satin is too slippery, they’re sliding right off the bed. In which case, maybe the word should reflect the direction they’re headed:
Floorward!
