Playing Games With The Skin Game

When we first saw the box for Caballero's The Skin Game, we thought, Something here does not look right. We wound up focusing on the picture of two girls on the left of the composite, the beautiful Toni James and the rather odd-looking Alex (now Alexis, apparently) Dane. Looks like somebody pasted Alexis' head on someone else's body, we thought.\n Out of curiosity, we went to the source: a high-ranking official at the company who wishes to remain nameless --- and here's the explanation:\n "How embarrassing! We purchased the movie, and along with the movie came some chromes, including some potential cover shots. And by the time we actually got to work on it, I guess maybe a month had passed, and we realized that, even though we'd bought cover shots, we should have done a photo shoot, because we weren't that impressed with the shots, although we did like the girls. \n "The cover shot ended up with [a girl in] an outfit we didn't like, and a look on [the face of] one of the girls that we didn't like. With the Toni James shot, it was just what we were looking for, and the girl that was with her had the wrong look on her face." The girl in question was Chloe.\n The Caballero employee went on to say, "Not that she looked bad, it's just that she wasn't posed right. She had a look --- if you were doing photography for the box cover, you would have said, 'Look, let's try this again.' It was just one of those things. \n "So the graphic artist said, 'I know: Let's switch heads! Because I have a great shot of Alexis Dane that you'll really like." And I don't know what came over me. Instead of saying, 'No, let's just find another shot,' or 'Just use a single' (he was so into making her outfit --- which was red --- white) and switching the heads to get the right look, that I said, 'Yes.' And when it was done, and we were ready, because we were right on deadline for the ad, I looked at it, and all I could think of was, 'What did I do? I made Alexis look worse, I made the outfit look worse, and I've taken Chloe out,' and by that time, I was so embarrassed, but it was already gone [to the printer].\n "Then we came to the box, and we were going to change it back, and I said, 'You know, we'd better go with what we've got because that's what the ad is.' What can I say? We're not DreamWorks.\n "I'm embarrassed, not only that it didn't come out well, but the thought of putting a girl's head on another girl's body, and taking a girl out of the shot and transposing; that is so ignorant, it's just unbelievable. And Chloe would have been great on the box, even though she would not have liked the picture."
