Jim C. Hines Impersonates the Covers of Seductive Novels
Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman — January 28, 2012 — Pop Culture
Nothing says "seductive poses that will make you drool" like the bald and bearded author Jim C. Hines. This kooky writer has taken pictures of himself mimicking the women on the covers of fantasy books.
The side-by-side photos are hysterical because Hines is actually quite accurate with his poses and you can see the attitude in his face. The best part is the contrast, because the gorgeous fantasy chicks and the small man look nothing alike.
Looking at the pictures right next to each other, it's a tie on who is more sensual. However, the rule book states that all ties go to the short and hairy man who is willing to expose his belly, so congratulations to Jim C. Hines for being a true champion.
