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.
Treacly.
I know it isn’t one word, but on Project Runway I believe that would qualify as a “hot tranny mess” – I loved Christian Siriano!

I went right to food metaphors…
Fluffernutter!
Am I crazy, or is that a snow-covered mountain landscape on the far right, waaay in the background behind that avalanche of frou-frou?
Frou-frouvalanche?
Like they’re sliding down a ski run on their asses and 7 miles of purple tulle and satin…
SlipperyWhenWet
Draped.
Drumstick.
Sorry, but that thigh is way, way too big for that calf, or the calf is too small. She’s about to crush him with those bad boys and he’s beginning to notice the loss of sensation in his legs.
OR
Jaundice.
Because he’s just a tad yellow compared to her and all that purple.
Slither.
love64: is 64 a variation on 69?

Silken
Is it just me or are his torso and legs are not the same color? The torso is distinctly jaundiced…
captcha: covered87 Covered in 87 yards of fuschiasilk!
Chiffrottage. Chiffon + Frottage. Although with all of those billowing lavender masses, I should think you could get a nasty rash from too much rubbing….
Ok, I got my word: itchy.
Voluminescence
size73: yeah, that too.
Okay, “mauvulate” just cracked me up. But one thing occurred to me when I saw this cover, and that is…
LABIA.
Melting . As in their feet are melting from whatever toxic substance they are doing the nasty on.

I’ll go with:
PURPLEPALOOZA!
All caps and exclamation mark absolutely included. 😉
Hmmmm…the dress that doubles as bedding…
multi-purposeful
Pupfluff – a hot purple fluffy mess that I would love to wear but that I foresee will bring nothing but satin rash (instead of rug burn) to her lovely rear.
If Jenyfer Matthews’ entry comes with the Wallace Shawn audio, I call her the winner!
Tullegasam
Frothy!
Fantabulisticulous.
It’s fantastic and ridiculous 😀
Lustrous.
Lust just has to be the operative syllable of course.
Purpouf!
my captcha is “mind82” perhaps the year the cover artist’s mind is stuck in? The hair, the font, the color, the satin.
Rashtastic
Just think, if he had a 5 o’clock shadow, she would be rashtastic on both sides…
Superpurplegasmiccalifragilisticexpialidotious!
Crossdressage.
For the dress that tastefully covers her AND him.
I have to say, though, I like the cover. The purple ignites all the pleasant-anticipation levels of my brain.
I see all that purple and only one word comes to mind:
Primogeniture
BOO-ya!
chiffonade
Nom : Because it looks like he getting ready to eat her. Or suck her life force.
Purminimanskirt
Because the way the sheet’s draped around him makes it look like he’s wearing a lavender (purple) mini-skirt.
purplephyxiation
It’s my favorite color but even I have to say that cover is a taking a good thing too far!
