Speaking of Leisure Suits... Snakeskin anyone?

Did they HAVE snakeskin leisure suits in the medieval period? And why would someone wear a smock over it?

That almost looks like a plantation in the background. And I actually think that's a type of chain mail. not too sure. But isn't that the guy with the strange eyebrow thing going on from a cover a couple of them ago?

Oh, and I would think that was a tunic over it.

Look at the picture larger. It does NOT look like chain mail -- it looks like snake skin. It doesn't look like a tunic -- it looks like a smock. Doesn't matter what it actually is, just matters what it appears to be.

Nope, that's not the guy with the strange eyebrow thing. His hair is too light and his forehead is too high.

I think that's supposed to be scale armor.
But it looks like snakeskin instead.
In tangential news:
Germans find that men staring at boobs live longer.

(SO, my fellow men, start staring. This mean you guys UW and Mad..)

The guy on the cover is definitely doing some staring. :-P

Either way, it kind of looks like a snake skin jacket from a leisure suit to me.

UW always acts so embarrassed when he's caught staring at women. Poor guy. Like I mind!

Embarrassed?
Why be embarrassed, men are hardwired in the grey goo to notice those.
Especially if they are moving.

I have no idea why he would be embarrassed. It isn't because of criticism by ME. I'm more likely to be looking myself.

Funny. With both my husbands (twice married - never divorced and NO I don't live in Utah! LOL) I've had to point the women out to them! That's so sweet!

I'm not fond of the sleeves. The print looks like a drape or something. Maybe a comforter.

I just noticed the book title.
The love knot?
Egads..
Last time I heard that particular term, a dog featured heavily in the discussion.
