Ah, Goldenberry, you are so funny! Actually, I so liked this manip I thought it would be fun to do a series. The problem is, most trashy covers do feature someone like Fabio. He (and they) as far, far too traditionally herky, like muscle-men, to serve as the bodies for any Frodo I would bother to make into a manip.
Even the male model for this cover was too built-up for Frodo (in my opinion), but I thought he would do in a pinch. Perhaps it's supposed to depict Frodo after he's got all toned from going through the rigours of the Quest, but, also, after Mistress Rose began feeding him up, so that he was no longer thin. (I'll think of anything to try and make a scenario plausible *grin*).
