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.

    As in, melting into the fuschia. His feminine ankles, especially.

    LOL Kimsmith
    Love your word “Fuscianation”. I tried to do something with fuschia & couldn’t think of anything.

    And I love this cover! It just screams “conversation piece”.

    Organ-zam – It’s like an orgasm, but with much more fluffy purple goodness.

    Fluffernookie – fluff + nookie, 2 great tastes that taste great together!

    Daamn! – ‘Cause, well, daaamn that’s a lot of purple going on there. 
    Purpletush – self explainitory.

    Okay, now that I got my entry out of the way, I’ll admit that I love the idea of rolling around on acres of luscious fabric.  However…what the heck is the black and white in the background?  Are they rolling around on a cow??

    Sooooo hard to stick to just one word!  So many things come to mind!  Now I can’t get “Kowtowed” out of my head.

  20. Jen J says:

    So much good stuff! And I know we aren’t voting, but can I just say I loved the brialliance that was Rene’s “Lointulle” and Jill Sorenson’s “Satinass” – truly inspired!
    I’ve got nothing so fabulous, but I wanna play too:
    ‘Bootylicious’
    ‘Fancypants’
    ‘Asstastic’
    &
    ‘Moneyshot’ – inspired by my spam-word!

  21. Anne says:

    Fluffnesia

    Purpurea.  Genus name of a set of flowers, including carnivorous (man eating?) ones.  🙂

    My one word is:

    Silky

    It looks like part of a fabric store threw up on the bed and the two of them….But only the purple parts of the store.
