Questionable Covers: Featuring Lovable, Adorable “Dotty”

The Blonde in a Red Dress seems to find herself with the same problem as many newspaper reporters, in that the person writing the content of the story may not have any control over the person coming up with the sensational clickbait headlines. (At least, I hope that’s the explanation, because “Glamorous Romances” with someone “Lovable” and “Adorable” doesn’t really describe what I think of when story titles are promising a “gamble” with a “hired date” who is “temporarily yours” for a “week-end romance”.)

Third Time’s the Charm? published on 1 Comment on Third Time’s the Charm?

After this week’s two recent breakups, the Blonde in Red hopes she has finally found true love… in a “Secret Engagement”… with a “Heart Bandit”.
What could possibly go wrong?

It took all week to rehearse the scene, but the editor finally got the romantic cover scene he was hoping for.
(Too bad it got wasted on a confusingly punctuated title like “Little Miss Nobody Wild — By Reputation And Other Fascinating Love Stories”)

The cover editor wasn’t satisfied with yesterday’s cover and insisted they keep trying the scene until they get it right. This made the Blonde in a Red Dress become even more bored.

Blonde in a Red (Patterned) Dress: Canoes by Moonlight

The Blonde in Red was disappointed to learn that her new dress ranked so low on the Helen-o-meter. (If Helen-of-Troy is the quantifiable beauty standard for launching one thousand ships, then launching only four canoes would register a score of only four Milli-Helens. That’s science!)
