I’m pretty sure that’s not what Fred Astaire meant when he sang Dancing Cheek to Cheek.

Zeus I could understand, his using various disguises to ‘seduce’ women. But Krishna?
I’m pretty sure this was what Sly Stallone originally had in mind for ‘Staying Alive’.

Those shoes are much too sensible to match with her strategically diaphanous boob-and-crotch scarf, the logistics of which the less said, the better.

@Fred: possibly, but that was a bigger-budget/more competent version of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlBnxVIAQ20&t=40s which was my first thought.
(And has at least one dancer in common with Travolta’s first failed comeback).

@Lillie: I can’t top your fashion assessment, but agree 100% with it. That garb covers less than the usual tasteful smoke, and is one second away from costume malfunction.
This is a fairly good series, and I’m pretty sure I read them all when the last batch started coming out in this era, but I’m also pretty sure NOT in this cover. I had cause to ride the cross-town bus regularly in 1984; I would not have taken this.
Huh. This is the only cover it had in the US. I must have read it at home all by myself. Check ISFDB and dig that the hardback is a wraparound cover; the back cover has a bunch more aliens providing the dancing music — and looking disgruntled about it. Plus font abuse.
Speaking of bones and legs, I’ve broken mine, and am now The Ex-Noob of Crutches. What I wouldn’t give for the Enterprise sickbay, or at least an antigrav float. Or, if we’re going with fantasy, a litter carried by strong handsome men.

I like my women the way I like swimming: a skinny dip.

How is lizard man holding her up? His right and left claws aren’t even in contact with her body and … oh wait …
BTW, sorry to hear about your debilitation, GSSxN. On the bright side, time to take up a new hobby!

Can’t say why, exactly, but I’m pretty sure this is Bokrug’s favorite cover.

Tonight on Dancing with the ‘Saurs!

Forget strategically placed scarf – this is a case of strategically placed women but I suppose the mystery of dino genitals must remain just that.

@Alice—GSS!

Cheerleading isn’t what it used to be.

Dancing to Raptor by Blondie.

@GSS ex-noob – oh no! I hope you have a speedy and uncomplicated recovery!
February 26th, 2019 at 9:47 am
Sorry to hear that GSS x-n, it wasn’t a dancing with lizard people mishap, was it? No. No? No.
February 26th, 2019 at 3:00 pm
GSSXN: Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I see that the artist is Victoria Poyser (she of the delicate aura of soft porn). My idea of soft porn doesn’t involve reptiles, thanks.
And if you’re wondering, after The Prisoner of Zhamanak, what Phantasia Press would have done with this–they did. With the same cover, according to Wikipedia.
February 26th, 2019 at 6:11 pm
Get well soon, GSSXN. You don’t want us making crutch jokes.
February 26th, 2019 at 6:11 pm
Not in front of the children!
February 27th, 2019 at 2:35 am
@Tag Wizard: it’s the alien planet Krishna. They’re quite accustomed to casual reptile nudity.
February 27th, 2019 at 7:08 am
@Alice: GSS!
I’ve moved on to a walker. And no, there were absolutely no lizards involved. Nor any dancing, human and/or alien. Just moved on it wrong.
I would still accept a number of strong handsome men to carry me around, though. Probably even some average to ugly ones.
March 4th, 2019 at 9:15 am
So, why is it always the non-humans seducing the humans?
March 4th, 2019 at 5:20 pm
@anon: Good question. Given the current propensity of people to shag anything, living or non, plus the archaeological record of humans/Neanderthals/Denisovans gettin’ it on, you’d think it would be the other way around sometimes. Particularly when lonely all-male spaceships land on planets.
Knee scooters are a fun thing when you’re not allowed to use one leg, BTW. I can’t stop making VROOOM and NYAOWWW (Doppler effect) noises when using it.
Fingers or tentacles crossed that I get a walking cast by the end of the week. And that I survive the eventual bill. As far as hobbies, I have beaten a number of levels in my current match-3 phone game.

When the hostess sees the claw marks on the hardwood floor, she’s not going to be happy…!
March 8th, 2019 at 5:30 pm
♪ She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor.
And she’s dancing like she loves that dinosaur. ♪

@Tor M—If Tat W hadn’t already made my day with his Sundiver comment, you would made my day with yours! GSS
BTW, I think you and @Alice have exhausted this dancing dinosaur trope.
Or, maybe:
🎼🎶🎶
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When that dinosaur is grinding on my cheeks🎶🎶🎶
