SAY WHAT, NOW?

At the CBC: Anne Shirley... goes blonde:



(It's an unauthorized edition, BUT STILL. Also, it was apparently in that round-up of hideous cover art that Jezebel did a couple of weeks ago, but I missed it because the art on The Bell Jar was so wrong that I ran screaming (or, well, clicked away) before seeing the rest of the slideshow.)

Rose Tyler's less famous sister is Anne of Green Gables...

I just read "slideshow" as "sideshow." Seems an apt mistake.

Anne of Peyton Place?

@Prof Mortis: I think she looks like Michelle Williams. Minus the ridiculous pose, I mean.

@Tamson: INDEED.

@Tanita: Anne of... I got nothing. I can't think of any sexy farms.

Oh yes, it is painful. Just painful. But I will have to be at least a little happy to see it in the store, IF I see it there, because when I was working at B&N we only ever had book one and MAYBE book two. I ordered the full set for someone once and it was a giant pain in the butt. So I guess I'd rather see it easily available with s stupid, stupid cover than not available in the store at all. Sigh.

I...just...is she some sort of pin-up girl? "Let's find out if we're kindred spirits, knowwhatImean? Peyton Place is right!

That must not be Anne. Josie Pye, maybe, or probably one of the Sloane girls.

[Emily]

Everything about that cover is wrong. Pose, clothes, hair. Good grief.

@OKP: *snicker*

@Margaret: I *love* the idea of her as a modern-era Josie Pye. LOVE IT.

@Emily: WORD.
