The Blonde in a Red Dress eventually began to suspect that her comic’s editors might be intentionally phrasing the covers to imply a bit more than the actual contents of the “Intimate Love Stories of Real Girls”

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”.)

Not sure if the Blonde in Red is trying to play ditzy in this role, or is just being passive-aggressive snarky at this point.

Yes, the Blonde in Red was probably thinking of her boyfriend while she was taking a break from her lucrative side business of selling autographed celebrity photos on ebay.

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?

The Blonde in a Red Dress “Gave Romance The Run-Around”… probably to avoid a guy named “Skipper”.

The skeptical/bored faces of the cover models don’t really seem to match the claims of the book’s tagline.
