I just created a new category for historical romance covers…
I call it Regency Butt.
What do you think?
Those who dared:
ouaqquwcgk on my confession dkmhwgijnw on random awesomeness Kris on maybe it’s me, but… kaetrin on maybe it’s me, but… Kris on maybe it’s me, but… 
Kris + Books = Good. *Sometimes*. 
Who knew they had boxer briefs in those days?!
Was that even allowed in them there parts in them there days…
very strokeable – much…
🙂
I agree with E.H. Very strokeable. I think we need more examples of regency butt.
Chris: Where are the boxer briefs? Have you suddenly discovered that you have xray vision??
EH: What was allowed? Half nekkid miltary men standing in open doors with snow coming in??
Well, obviously. Duh. 😉
Eyre: “I think we need more examples of regency butt.”
I'm waiting… *taps foot*
Are those his pants then? Don't mind me – you'd be horrified at how little history I had in school. 🙂
*tsk, tsk*
Yes, they are his 'pants'. They are breeches: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeches
On the plus side, you'll be pleased that I do not intend to write any historical books of any sort. 🙂
*loves*
Chris: Ah, that glass half full thing. Yeah, no. Your history knowledge still sucks. 😛
Lori: I just realised I should have entitled this post 'maybe it's me, butt…' 😉
Am I the only one who thinks his butt and his upper body don't match up? Maybe it's the words throwing it off but it feels like his butt is 6 inches further to the left.
Those look more like football 'breeches' with padding underneath!
Tam: Yep. You are.
Jase: *sigh* You Yanks are hopeless. Those are the original versions without the padding.
Having said that, some Regency dudes did pad their clothes so as to cut a more 'manly' figure. The Regency version of a codpiece. 😉
I think Jason has a good point. This guy screams stock pic. I think it's only a matter of time before we see him on the cover of a book with a football in his hand looking out over a ball field:). He'll go from regency butt to jock butt without even having to change his “breeches”
Very nice!! I have always loved Lindsey's covers…but this has to be one of my favorites…such yummy candy!
Jackie: Bite your tongue! There's no stock photos for this author. Only pretties posing with their pert butts.
Renee: Oh, for the days of a wind swept and mostly nekkid Fabio as one of Lindsey's Alpha heroes. *swoon*
I think I would like to know more 🙂
And the word 'breeches' has me thinking of Jilly Cooper…
More about Regency Butt, Orannia? You perve. ;P
nom nom
What?!? Did they let Fabio out of his retirement home? You might want to watch his back Kris.
Miranda: Are we all Butt girls or what? lol
Ingrid: So I may have googled Fabio yesterday… just for research purposes, of course… *cough*… did you know that he did over 400 romance covers in the 1980s and 1990s? No wonder so many of us had a thing for him. Talk about tacit marketing.
Think it was the hair..
Quite possibly…
Out of curiousity is Fabio dead?…
🙂
EH: Nope. Apparently he wants to retire to Oz and have babies…
I still have a chance…
Are you committing adultery already Kris? Or have you given up Sir T?
Are you stepping out on Sir Terry then…
I thought Fabio was all kinda odd even in his hay day – all that hair – freaked me the hell out..
I wonder if he's gone bald…
🙂
HOW VERY DARE YOU BOTH?! I WOULD NEVER GIVE UP, SIR TERRY!
I do dare! You said it yrself -> wants to have babies with Fabio, while a few days ago it was Sir T.
And before you get the trout out, I have very good fishing gear here and Rick Steins cookbook, how to cook them
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one, Ingrid. ❤
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
