Look at Your Hands!

Look, I'm going to do something horrible, and get a really annoying song in your head. But I'm really tired of being alone in this torment, so come join me.

I keep seeing this guy. 

This guy:

Book Muscular guy looking at hands with his fingers flexed, this one with a red hooded girl coming out of his hands

I see him a lot.

Book Wolf of Arundale Hall - Same guy with flexy hands in front of a green ocean

 

Really often. I mean, like, all the time. 

 

Book Rebekah Turner's Chaos Bound - dude looking at his hands on top of a grey city

 

I think he's following me.

ETA: And Maree Anderson in the comments alerts me to…another Safety Dance Man:

You missed my cover, Sarah! Yep. Back in 2011 the safety dance dude made it to New Zealand and convinced us to put him on the cover of The Crystal Warrior. Sigh.

That was before we realized he uh, got around a bit and he’d hooked up with an Aussie author-friend of mine for the cover of Moon Thrall (Ellora’s Cave). And then he even turned blond for the cover of Scorched Treachery by Rebecca Ethington!

What can I say? This dude only has one look; he’s the Zoolander of eBook covers 🙂

Book Looking at his hands, black background. This dude gets AROUND.

OH, YES, HE IS! 

Book Another dude, same dude, black background looking at his hands. Seriously. This dude is EVERYWHERE.

Kate K points out he's also on this anthology cover:

What do you think happened?

Did he spill battery acid on himself? 

He just got The Worst Manicure Ever?

I honestly don't know. But I have a theory. 

SING WITH ME! 

 

 

THIS POOR GUY IS STUCK DOING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE SAFETY DANCE! 

You can dance!

You can dance!

 

Men Without Hats doing the Safety Dance

 

EVERYBODY LOOK AT YOUR HANDS!

Now, for the sequels, they all better look like this:

Two people from Safety Dance video, which is like a cluster fuck of medieval times meets 80s video, holding their arms in an S shape

 

I better see some flexing S-arms on all sorts of romance, right? It's the next part of the dance!
