C’mon guys! How many times have we grumbled that a photo cover is just a few domestic items out of focus or some off-the-shelf toys shot against a badly made background? This one had some actual effort put into it. They hired similar-looking models, surgically removed their fingernails, built a glass fibre suit that could never be re-used, built kooky hats (or one hat, it’s hard to tell) and shot them against a backdrop the exact colour of Sheckley’s mood when he saw this cover.
Looks like they might be wearing flesh-tone bodysuits underneath the daft armour-fetishwear-whatever. I could be wrong, though. Although, the question must be asked: how much did the model(s) get paid for agreeing to wear that outfit? It probably was not cheap.
🎵Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly move
And I seem to find the happiness I groove
When these two come waltzing over boob-to-boob 🎶
Model on the left is shooting one mean cockeyed death glare at the director of photography. Looks like somebody is wishing they’d completed that degree rather than falling for the seductive lure of the niche market for pseudo-conjoined science fiction cover models
The artist misses the point of the story, where the protagonist is cursed to have unlimited wishes, but whatever he wishes for, his worst enemy gets twice as much. A conundrum he solves by wishing for a companion who is just as much as a man could ever wish for and cope with. His enemy gets two……….

@Dead Stuff. Since when did she have two heads?

The artist’s stance; “I like my women like I like my coffee. Double-double.”

Joey likes to paint his action figures. Unfortunately, his new project in art class got him called to the principal’s office.

The early days of body painting as an art form led to some unfortunate results.

Looks like these crash test dummies had a side-swipe collision.

@RachelJ: they only ever talk about her mammaries, any other parts of her body are glossed over.

This years winter collection and M&S is just odd…

If you think about it, if one of them sits down to eat, it’s the same to you, but halved.
If one of them downs a pint, it’s the same to you, but halved.
If they’re hung over the next morning, it’s the same to you, but halved.
Maybe this isn’t so appropriate a picture after all…

Strip poker by a cover artist who doesn’t understand how to help sell books.

Their armor looks like it’s made of the chocolate shells of Junior Mints.

But did the models get double pay for this cover?

Needs a blurb…
‘Meet Anya and Clara Bothrioleyva, the most cojoined twins ever in outer space!’

Sorry, Tat Wood, but I hear you can by these things here .

The title sounds like the lame comeback of a playground bully:
“You say I’m a dummy?! Same to you!! Doubled!!!”

Can’t decide if it would be more uncomfortable to be 1st boob or 2nd boob in that outfit…

Wonder if she’s related to this famous rocker gal
