Caption That Cover: Seven Miles of Chiffon

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:

Book 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.

    Ahhh the many uses of TOOL ….. Yes, now I must go wash my brain before returning to work.  Bad TOOL!  Thanks, Michelle.

    It’s like this might be first up-close encounter with someone else’s va-jay-jay. And the way that leg is kicked up? He’s super excited to be touching it for the very first time!

    Is it merely descriptive of all the ruffly stuff?  Is it a pun??  Therein lies the mystery!

    Yes, doesn’t the arm under his body seem way too long? With her hand at an incredibly awkward angle?

    Trippy

    Because with the sandy color in the bottom and the black and white in the top of the background, my mind keeps putting them on a weird magic flying ride over random desert sands.
