This time it's not titles that irritate me, but cover art. Particularly the art of the Venus Prime books. Exhibit A:

Seriously. That's a doped-up 10-year-old's face and a huge pair of tits, belonging to--I presume--the "beautiful and mysterious" main character. And all the covers are some variant of the same tits and glazed childlike expression. Reader, I squick. Squick squick squick!

Mood: annoyed and work-avoidant
Music:Haujobb - Consciousness

I think that might actually be Brooke Shields' face from Pretty Baby.

I totally had the hots for the covers of that series... when I was 11.

I think the pained expression on her face probably has something to do with that ludicrous crotch seatbelt.

*holds hand up so can only see her face*

*nods* Yeah, she looks like that annoying child from many 70s movies.

Compositionally, the boobs are where it's at. I shall attempt nto to boggle too long at the slightly twisted porn star torso and spread legs (before reading the other comments, I hadn't noticed the hole, but year :S).

They are all too common, too. Along with the trend for younger and younger actresses (because a 23 year-old is too old to play a 23 year-old).

Oh wow, that's just special. If your value for special is "wrongity wrong with wrong sauce".

That must be the vehicle for girls only, because if a guy was in that and got into so much as a fender bender with that safety belt on? He could kiss future prospects of fatherhood goodbye. Owww.

And that's the GOOD thing I have to say about that cover.
