Apologies to anyone who was worried or disoriented by Friday’s linkity post going live at 3 pm CDT instead of its usual 2 am CDT! I typoed when I hit publish Thursday evening, then had no idea there was a problem until I got home Friday evening after helping my brother and sister-in-law move all day. Whoops.
Welcome to another edition of the Misadventures in Stock Photography! Today we’ll be meeting Bleached Blond Fabio Hair Guy (BBFHG). Many thanks to PD Singer for sending me the first few pictures of him! 🙂
Although he would’ve preferred to be

Huh.
“A naughty boy with bad hair – why do you make me suffer so?!” -Mayhem
You know. I really thought that this guy was wearing a wig, or had had his hair photshopped on. But it seems like it is really his hair!
A recent post from Jenre..Where am I?
Kissing metal? No, that leaves a funny taste in your mouth. LOL
He just needs a good deep conditioner Jen.
A recent post from Tam..Join me at Torquere Social today
I’ll say Mayhem, I’m totally with you on that one!
A recent post from Brigitte..So It’s Really Been Awhile…Whoops
Now that I have an iPad – I am reading the linkity all day long!
I don’t think these are, strictly speaking, stock photos. EC has always had its own stable of cover models. Granted, the company draws upon them ad nauseam and probably photoshops them to death, but they are considered “Cavemen.” 🙂
A recent post from K. Z. Snow..A Beautiful Sight
Oh, because of K.Z. Snow’s comment, I just realized all of these covers are from Ellora’s Cave… Never even noticed that as I was reading the sentences. Goes to show how much I pay attention LOL.
Mayhem- He’s no angel. He’s got a few miles on him.
A recent post from Lorraine..Llama Walk
He looks like one of the Nelson brothers….back in their skinnier days.
Those fairy wings are just so LOL
A recent post from blodeuedd..Review: Pirate Code – Helen Hollick
Thank you Mayhem. I was wondering what it was about this guy. You’re right. He does have bad hair!
maybe he should change his hair style 😀
Thank you 🙂
Yeah, May, I was saying lose the bad hair from the first cover.
A recent post from trek..Ironing
It seems like a lot of trouble for perfume.
good lord! that is some bad hair!
Wow, he looks really pissed about those butterfly wings on that one cover! Or at least very dour. (And I love the photo of May — look at those pretty highlights on her fur running over and between her eyes!)
A recent post from Val Kovalin..Weekly update with patriotic table ornament
May’s right this week. He’s creepy! His five o’clock shadow looks much darker than his hair, which looks photoshopped in almost all the shots. He also looks like he hates being a model and posing. Perhaps he lost a bet?
A recent post from Brenda..Scattered
Wow. It’s like Lucius Malfoy decided he wanted a career in cover modeling. And yeah, no butterfly wings or weird a$$ insect-themed tattoos. Just not necessary.
A recent post from Seanna Lea..running around in the sprinkler
Poor Mayhem. Plus it’s a really bad idea to buy perfume from a beast.
A recent post from Carrie#K..California is Crazy
Caveman hair for sure, poor thing. Those butterfly wings — no wonder he looks grumpy.
Poor little bugger doesn’t look happy at all, does he? Lol.
They really skinnied him up on the Heart of a Forest cover. “And THIS is what you’ll look like if you lose forty pounds…”
A recent post from Devon Rhodes..Road Trip Day One: Sprinklers, Stewart and Scan-Stopping Songs
May – you took the words right out of my mouth! That hair…. *shudders*
Hope the move went well!
A recent post from orannia..Just Add Noodles
I do not want to imagine what perfume from a beast would smell like *shudders*
And I agree with May and the rest of the group – that hair has got to go!!

Hehe!!!!!
A recent post from mrspao..Waving not drowning
Funny post! I just don’t like this guys look at all. Something about it turns me off completely – maybe it’s the too long bleach blonde hair? I do love long hair but the color on him is horrid. Maybe the body? IDK – just doesn’t work for me. 🙂
A recent post from Tracy..Review posted at The Book Binge…Nightfall by Ellen Connor
I must defend Fabio’s honor. BBFHG has nothing on Fabio! Someone should tell him overprocessing isn’t good for his hair!
I’m with May. That’s some spectacularly bad hair and also a pretty prominent butt chin.
A recent post from Bronwyn Green..Misread of the Day – Yes…again
I can’t see any covers on this one. 🙁
Yep, I’m still working my way through them all. My fun was cut short by edits.
LM: Thanks for the heads up! Fixed. 🙂
