“Hey Bob! Check her out maybe we should go over and introduce ourselves… nah you’re right. This alien bubble isn’t going to slave over to the palace by itself!”

What a bummer.
(Now this cover needs a parody version like the one John Scalzi and writer friends did…)

And dare I say:
“Ba-Da-BUM!”

Big bottom, big bottom…
Talk about mudflaps, my girl’s got’em!
Big bottom drives me out of my mind!
How can I leave this behind…
Actually, the cover makes Spinal Tap seem mature…

Bums wrapped tightly in cellophane, apparently.

a) Posed to avoid drawing hands and b) an incredibly porny pose – a graduate from the Greg Land School of Art?

@admin: I approve of the new tag.

Hunt the Space Witch seen from the backside!

This deserves a Look Behind You! tag. Or perhaps a Don’t Look Behind You tag.
“Uhm, pardon miss, but you might rather not look back. Hordes of horny nervous nerdy pimply-faced pathetic boys and men are drooling over your bum.”

Oh, and also..naked kneeling on rough rock..ouch!

I also approve of the Sir Mix-a-lot tag.

I have never heard of one being called a diadem. But if one has to be THE diadem then I won’t argue on this being THE one.

And THIS, ladies, is why you don’t wear clothing with a low melting point on Venus.

Look out, your diadem is showing.
I must be the only person to have looked beyond the lady’s cheeky pose, and looked at those creatures in the background. Which gave me a “wait a moment!” moment.
Wait a moment! Those creatures have four arms. Each!

I would comment on this, but I can’t be arsed.

If the thing they’re lugging is a pearl, that’s one huge diadem. Or everyone in the picture is rice-size.

“Ok, which wise guy left the winter tires on the carriage?”

LuLu Lemon’s newest add campaign, cellophane workout pants (can also be used to mine for giant pearls on an alien planet).

I always wondered what a “bubble-butt” looked like.

Let the artist explain:
“The story that this cover painting came from dealt with a young female spy that spent almost all of her time spying on a colony of ant-type aliens in a tropical forest. I ask you to notice the root by her feet. I made it look basically like fingers. A little extra every now and then to keep it interesting!” – Ken Kelly

..so, then, in addition to the exploitive ‘apparel’ and pose, the artist proudly declares she’s being assaulted by plants?!? Is that really what I’m hearing here?

Film it and I’ll watch it. See ya, Janet!
