Crossdressing Ninja in Pom(egranate) Tree
These are from our entry for jaylake's contest for the release of Green, which will be funnier if you look at the book's cover. (Pomegranates are out of season.)

kehrli had the idea (and bought Pom).
criada scouted the location (and bought Pom).
kaerfel provided supplies (and bought Pom).
And csinman dressed in drag and dangled by his bare feet from a tree (and also bought Pom).

	Hey! Who has six toes!? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I didn't look at the cover that closely, but if I'm supposed to have six toes in that picture, we're doing it again tomorrow. As soon as I escape from the dentist's office. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Thank you, thank you. We'll let you touch us at Iron Springs. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The lengths to which you all will go for your art is staggering. I am in awe... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's even more incentive to get a novel out, Karen, so we can do silly stunts to mock/emulate/revere your cover art! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	You guys, you're... something. [giggling] I'm not sure WHAT, but something, Definitely something. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'll tell you what we were... we were totally shown up by the other photographer/model operation going on in Elizabeth Park. There was some kind of quite accomplished acrobat in a cute stripey outfit doing all kinds of amazing tricks on some scarves. Her bones must have been made of Swedish fish, or perhaps she was half eel. It was amazing! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	When I first saw you in person... I remarked to the person sitting next to me, "Total anime character, but like, in real life." My comment stands the test of time. You are my hero, even in drag. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I really needed to see this after the day I've had. :D Thank you...I think. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Jeff, I have to preface this by swearing that I'm notorious for my sieve-like memory, but I was pretty sure I still hadn't met you. When were we in the same place at the same time? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	... That is hot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Why, thank you. That's certainly incentive to do it more often... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dangled by his bare feet from a tree Those are knees, not feet! And now I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to some prehensile toes. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	csinman 2009-06-11 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	If I get anything prehensile, I want it to be a tail! Also, my feet argue with you. They say they were definitely the point of my body which my weight was hanging from, especially the scraped up left foot. I told them they couldn't have done it without my knees being bent over the limbs, but they're self-centered. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I hope you don't plan on washing the money out, Scholes. Do you have any idea what signed, fluid-soaked articles of your clothing are going to bring on the fannish black market in the next few years? I personally witnessed a certain other popular fantasy author's tie-dyed socks bringing in scads of cash at a charity auction. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is fantastic. The attention to non-terminal-digit-related detail is crazy impressive. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	csinman 2009-06-11 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! We were actually going by the cover alone--if I'd known she had extra toes we would have done something about that, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You are so Emerald. Fantastic! (Reply to this)

	This one was certainly more elaborate than the Mainspring zeppelin. I'm pretty sure I'll make the news with my screaming, inside-out-organs death when blackaire has a cover with someone battling a demon, and we decide it's a good idea to conjure one for the photoshoot. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Not only are these pictures totally awesome, they also make me want to run out and buy the book. Also also I thought about drinking pom for a few seconds, but then I decided I'd rather have tea. (Reply to this) (Thread)
