We’re back in the time machine to check out the ads and features from the February 2012 issue of Romantic Times.
We’re talking about Anastasia, Madame Toussauds, and how close some cover models get to showing some hog.
THEN! Then, we have about a half hour of live cover snark. I’m wondering if this video will be taken down by the Y’Tube, because these covers are…unclothed.

Do you love historical pettiness? What’s your favorite example?
