Misc AV CONTEST: Lurid/Trashy Paperback Covers

[RJDiogenes]

Admiral Shran's must have been good.

I can't decide whether to go with some classic Honey West:

Or this little gem:

I believe it had something to do with lesbians...shame PB thought it violated it's terms...I don't see how???

[edit] Since Admiral Shran got it back.

 

[RJDiogenes]

They can be pretty arbitrary.

If anything someone can just make a public photo album here for av's if hosting sites are going to be like that.

 

[RJDiogenes]

That's true. If you upload an image to your TrekBBS album, you can right click to copy the image location and use that to Post in the Thread.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Let's try this again.

Or this little gem:

I'd go with the second one -- the art is much sexier, and the title -- well, use your imagination.

Photobucket deleted my “Holy Fucking Shit!” cartoon in the Random Swearing thread. They can be real tight-assed when it comes to nudity and curse words. Maybe their image-recognition software detected too much breastage, or maybe the word “Lesbos” set off an alarm.

Not entering unless the contest runner likes it and wants to include it:

From the original painting, "as his kilt rises..."

 

[Saga]

for a moment i thought that was a fan painting of Riker and Jean Grey.

Not entering unless the contest runner likes it and wants to include it:

I'd say it looks enough like the cover of a bodice-ripper. And we all know what a Scotsman has under his kilt!

I think we're getting close to enough entries. The voting poll goes up Saturday afternoon.

That's exactly what I was thinking-- except I love Honey West.

Okay, I guess I will make this my official entry:

Contest ends and poll goes up at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (11:00 p.m. GMT). Any more paperbacks with half-naked babes and hard-boiled dicks, get them posted now!

This seems pretty cheesy...

Did our friend Iguana Tonante belong to this outfit?

I look lovely with fruity headgears.

 

[scotpens]

^ To me, “The Flaming Iguana” sounds like a gay bar, or one of those clubs with drag acts.

 

[Whofan]

I'm a little frightened that the Scotsman looks like present-day Wil Wheaton with a beard...

EDIT: Never mind, it is suppossed to be Will!

 

[Sakrysta]

Yeah, it's fan art of Fawkes & Codex (Guild characters).

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Is it me or does it look like Lindsay Lohan?

Pure coincidence, I'm sure. Apparently it's a story about a young Hollywood hopeful who likes Chinese food.

Sorry I'm a bit late responding to this, but I haven't had a chance to post in the past week.

It was intentionally supposed to be Lindsay Lohan on account of the small print saying "She was the one they called 'firecrotch.'" However, I believe it's just a photoshop rather than an actual book. But it was funny, so I used it.

It's a damn good fake. It really looks like a trash paperback cover from the 1950s. It had me fooled, anyway.
