Just for kick , fantasy authorJim C. Hinesdecided to pose like the female protagonist on the cover of his novelThe Stepsister Scheme .
Upon realizing how physically uneasy it was , Jim did what any rational person would do : strip down , scour Amazon for uncomfortable - take care phantasy book covers , and have a pic shoot with his wife . Explains Hines of the aftermath :
I drop the rest of last night with painfulness running through most of my back . Even the pose in The Shape of Desire , which first struck me as rather low-down - key , is difficult to imitate and feel really forced . Trying to launch my chest and buttocks in two different directions a la Vicious Grace ? Just ow .
To be clear , there ’s nothing unseasonable with being intimate . I can whole see Snow from the princess books flaunting her poppycock , for case . But posing like these role repel home precisely what ’s being emphasize and what ’s not .
I ’ve make to give Jim a carload of credit for single - handedly making his insulin ticker site this season ’s pick accoutrement . He suggest that all guys go through the forcible challenge , as it ’s “ far more edifying than anything [ he ] could say . ” tap the lower - veracious box of the above effigy to see his poses in their full ferociousness .
