The strapline makes it sound like Bringing Up Baby. The cover makes it look like Bringing Up Your Lunch.

Here’s a quiz: how many vaginae can you see in the picture? Remember, a vagina juxtaposed on another vagina only counts as two.

So it is true—the road to hell is paved with really bad paperback book covers.

It’s a good thing there are no feet—with that terrain, she’d be bound to twist her ankle and have to be carried to safety by cat-suit man.

Rollicking Chaos … BEHIND YOU!

It will never work out. Their outfits clash.

This is one of those cleverly constructed blurbs where you can switch the adjectives around at will with no loss (or gain) in meaning:
“A rollicking blonde and her madcap lover challenge a world of reckless chaos.”
“A reckless blonde and her rollicking lover challenge a world of madcap chaos.”

She’s got her jet-pack corset on backwards. Maybe that’s what happened to her feet.

They seem to be fleeing from an animate Picasso painting.

@AnnaT It’s like some lost collaboration between Picasso, Dali, and Kandinksy

@DSWBT – I’d read that! 🙂

“A madcap blonde and her reckless lover challenge a world of rollicking chaos”… but enough talk about Ivanka Trump.

@B’Mancer—Brilliant! Your ripostes never fail to Braque me up!

Incidentally, “madcap” and “reckless” aptly describe the couple’s fashion choices: a tiger print tracksuit and what appears to be two silver bells welded together and used as a corset.

@B. Chiclitz – Nice observation…I think I’ll choose “A rollicking blonde and her madcap lover challenge a world of reckless chaos” as I don’t think chaos even CAN be “rollicking.”…Also, it makes me wonder what good intentions this bizarre couple had to form the proverbial pavement.

@HappyBookworm: chaos can rollick – we have a Foreign Secretary who is living proof.

@Tat Wood—alas, here we have to settle for the reckless chaos of one of our presidential nominees. And, unlike GSS, it’s not funny.
