Maybe she took inspiration from Edna Krabappel

I hadn't noticed the name. Odd choice.

She's back!

That Christmas cover looks like a Lifetime holiday movie.

Her head looks weird, her neck looks like it's been stretched. It looks like the poster for a pantomime.

Agreed, the head is totally wrong. I don't think the makeup look is appropriate for the period dress either, but that does happen a lot.

Nefret, I was thinking Holiday on Ice, myself. Yoiks.

The makeup thing is part of the reason I get hives over photographic cover art. The medium egregiously highlights how wildly inauthentic the models' looks are. Rips me right out of any hope of WSD.

Which is maybe partly why it's so popular to crop out heads and faces?

Mythica, I never thought of that, but you're probably right! Too, removing the face leaves room for a potential reader to use their imagination.

Now I'll be kinder when I see the faceless/headless ones!
