Caption That Cover: Nosehair Winner

by SB Sarah | July 23, 2010 | Friday at 9:38 pm | 8 Comments

That’s right - you win nosehair! Just kidding.

While I wish I could give away legless levitation with glowing ass powers, alas, my powers are limited to a $25 gift certificate to the bookstore of the winner’s choosing for winning the Caption That Cover: Nosehair Edition contest, featuring one of the very worst covers I’ve seen in a long time.

Honorable mentions:

redcrow for “glittery anus”

Nadia for “In a world where their love is only limited by her supply of those little Tabasco packets you get at Chick-Fil-A, together they…Wait for Dusk!”

Castiron for “She’s a rare example of the Shining Rear Vampire.”

Natalie Hart for “She wanted to go down on him, but there didn’t seem to be any *there* there ... perhaps ... his nose was so large, and so hard ... it was worth a shot.”

First runner up:

Linsalot for “He had narcolepsy, She had halitosis.  They were never meant to be together, but fate intervened and one legless night in a cave was all it took to change thier lives forever.”

And the winner: Kathleen for:

She wanted a man who could find her tapeworm.

He wanted a woman who shone the sun out of her ass.

Together they embarked on a mission to find their legs ... and found love instead.

Please email me at sarahATsmartbitchestrashybooksDOTcom with your bookstore choice. Congratulations!

But . . . what is that on his arm?!  Is it supposed to be his shirt?  ‘Cause it looks like a tentacle!

I’m behind.  At least I’m not shining light out of it.

God, this is terrible.  I can’t stop laughing at this cover.  Who in their right mind said “This one.  I like this one.”  Did no one notice there were no legs?  I guess they “downsized” all their people with actual talent and let Herb take a shot at it.  You now Herb don’t you?  He’s that creepy guy down in the mail room.

Cover designers ought to post their drafts on the office bulletin board as a final step. Someone would’ve been bound to notice the missing legs!
