Misfit, the Caustic Cover Critic doesn't post a lot, but when he does it's generally hilarious/interesting/beautiful.
I'm a little tired/frazzled, and of the red-dress pair, I read the title on the right as "The King's Stress" - which didn't seem very romantic ... This tells me that, visually, there's too much going on there. Also, looking at the image tells me that. Both of those covers: "that's a whole lotta look," as they say.
