Best things about this cover:
  • Super-hot top and chair totally undermined by world's most disgusting carpet remnant
  • Nice gams, tho
  • I like how she's carefully posed but also looks Completely surprised someone is taking her picture. "I'm just gonna enjoy a little after-party time with my favorite carpet remnant and ... oh! A photographer! I didn't see you there!"
  • Zack Robertts—the extra T is for "titillation"! (is what I assume his business cards said)

Best things about this back cover:
  • Hell yeah, it's frank! All the best stories are frank! Frank!
  • Modern love = sex in this mid-century butterfly chair—bonne chance!
  • "World capitals," LOL. "Which ones?" "Some of them!"

It wasn't exactly as I had planned and dreamed it over many months, but it was only for a brief stopover, but I was going home. And I felt pretty good about it.

But I don't feel pretty good about that first sentence, but what do I know?
