Caption That Cover: Collarbone Edition
by SB Sarah | November 11, 2009 | Wednesday at 12:03 pm | 65 CommentsThere’s this guy, see, and he really, really likes clavicles. And the subtext of romance doesn’t examine enough the intricate allure of the collarbone - so his deepest desire is to highlight this really, really hawt body part.
That’s the only reason I can come up with for the following reuse of stock imagery. I mean, maybe there really isn’t that much stock photography in the world that’s any good.
First: Collarbone and Castle!
Not bad. But the collarbone vampire really, really looks much better in blue. See?
So what’s really going on here- aside from grievous use of Photoshop and overuse of one stock image, I mean?
It’s time for Caption That Cover - Collarbone Edition! What’s he thinking - or better yet, what’s she thinking? Leave your caption in the comments in the next 24 hours, and the best one as judged by me will win a $25 gift certificate to the bookstore of the winner’s choosing. Feel free to vote in the comments for your favorite caption to try to sway me. Winner announced on Friday.
Whether it’s a clavicle fetish or he’s hunting for her third nipple, something very odd is going on here, clearly.

Vehxhation’s quest for his life-mate was finally culminated! As the beautiful Pompon swooned in his manly arms, he snogged that which made her his and his only - her Wishbone of Endowments! Vehxhation growled passionately and closed his eyes in frenzied delirium as his Vihgor swelled in response to her Nahrcoleptic Charms….

Also, if we follow the progression of colors, the next cover is obv. just going to be white with some blue lines that look like collarbones…

Her: Oh, God, I hope he doesn’t actually bite my collarbone. I’m having to wrestle around with him for this photoshoot, and here he is fixating on my clavicle. A kiss wouldn’t be so bad, but what if the only thing people saw of this last half-hour was me having my collarbone gnawed on by this doofus? The only way it could get worse is if that picture ended up on books with titles making fun of it, like ‘Traitor’s Kiss’ or “Delicious’ or, God forbid, ‘Phantom Pleasures’. Why don’t they just play it straight and say, ‘In which the cover model got let down by a tool who kept trying to chew on her collarbone during the shoot?
Him: OM NOM NOM NOM

Her: I’ll keep my face turned from the camera so at least I can deny this to friends and family.
Him: OH! Ma chere! I am so een lov wiz yoou! OH! See ‘ow I chew so lovingly upon your shouldair! NOM, my chewing would say if only it could make a sound! NOM, NOM, NOM NOM NOM!

“It was rough being a vampire with narcolepsy. Unfortunately for Lord Richard Wimple Bludvillieres IV (better known to his friends as ‘Bob the Toothless’), what should have brought his victims ‘the little death’ more often ended in ‘the little sleep’.”

This is slightly off topic - in that I mention the clavicle, but I do not refer to the multiple use of stock images. And, I don’t mean to hijack the thread…
I just want to share with the room that Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol may nibble, lick, or stroke my clavicle anytime he feels like it. I’m just in the mood for a pop crush right now and he suits my mood admirably.
Their new song “Just Say Yes”, while not by any means groundbreaking, to me describes desire really well. Actually, I think that he describes yearning really really well. And his voice is lovely.

“What was that elusive fragrance wafting from her skin? A hint of lavender, perhaps? Or was it the scent of autumn leaves? Or was it, perhaps ... food? Yes, that was it—this feisty woman that he couldn’t get our of his mind, this plucky girl who bravely tilted her chin at him, this bright spunky spitfire smelled exactly like ... pancakes.”

SNORT!
I’ve got nothing. Just had to snort on my way back to the Deadline Cave. Which is sorta like the Bat Cave, except with fewer latex costumes and lots more chocolate. (Makes note that we’re low on costumes after that unfortunate incident during the last post-deadline party.)

The Modified Seldinger Technique for Vampires
With the patient was sedated and mesmerized in the typical vampire fashion. She was then held in a modified reverse-T position with exposure of the right inferior neck which was licked and salivated upon using the listed vampire phlebotomy protocol. Double stick aspiration of venous contents was attempted by dual modified dental-trocars (tapered 7/20 gauge). Once access to the IJ was obtained tongue was inserted and suckling commenced. After approximately 40mL of blood was collected the tongue was withdrawn from between the dental-trocars. Trocars were then simultaneously removed and the lateral neck site was cleansed with vampire saliva and tears of gratitude. Stat CXR was then obtained as patient complained of SOB but no pnemothorax was noted. Patient recovery was uneventful. No memory of the procedure was noted under the given sedation and mesmerism regimen.

Now class, this is what happenes when you try and play “light as a feather, stiff as a board” with only two people - and your second is an inexperienced wizard/vampire. He falls asleep and you are stuck in that compromising position until he gets a full night’s rest.
::shakes head:: Last time that happened to me, I had a stiff neck and back for a week. Let that be a lesson to you: magic is not for amateurs!

I think he’s asleep
exhausted and depressed
thinking…
“...I’m soooo tired. And it’s always with the collarbone. I’m geting typecast here. That’s not good for my career at all. What’s with the collarbone anyway? If I see another fricking collarbone, I’m gonna lose it. What’s wrong with the mouth? Or the neck? I could do great things with the inside of a knee ...or - but no. Not me. Every time, I get stuck with the fricking collarbone.....”

Does this mood lighting make my clavicle look big?

Richard’s new life as a zombie was harder than it looked. Everyone else just shambled around, groaning, “brrraaaaiiiinss” while he had to force the word, “cooolllllllaaaarrrrrbooooonnneeesss” from his lips. As a result, he had to shamble and groan twice as long for half the meals. On the upside, it kept him fit enough to maintain his career as a romance novel cover model, and his co-models were usually female, which made the access to the tasty tasty clavicle a lot easier than having to gnaw through mantitty.
