Soon I will publish my novel "Prometheus´Tod". I decided I wanted a goat on the cover because in the book the story is told by the devil. I recently saw a perfect goat at the "Kinderbauernhof" ("children's farm" - something like a small zoo with farm animals) near where I live. It had a very thick beard and a lot of fur, seemd to belong to another race than the typical middle-european goats. Today I went there with a camera but the pen where I had seen it was empty. So I had to take photographs of some other goats I found. I guess that special goat could be back on sunday when the most visitors come. I think I'll go and take another picture of that one, then. Now I want to set up a little contest on which goat will be the one for the cover. I would like you to comment on them like the jury in "Idol" or "Next Top Model". Because I am Occulture's only true equivalent to Heidi Klum (she hosts "Germany's Next Top Model" - OK, I might not be married to Seal, but to seven of them instead, HarHar!) and because I am the one who will publish the book I reserve the right to comment myself and to make the final decision. However I am willing to seriously consider your opinions and I think it would just be fun playing the jury. OK?
Here's the first candidate:
LILLY
Hello Lilly! Lilly, you're very young aren't you? I have the impression the camera still scares you a little. You didn't want to look at the photographer, did you? Now, Lilly. We're seacrhing for a DEVIL, you see? I have the impression you're just a little too fluffy and white and cute.
Well, but I have to admit, Lilly, that at your second attempt you developed your very own way of being creepy. So you get some of my respect for that. But I am still not sure if this is the kind of devil we want. OK?
Next One:
PAN
Now, Pan! You step in front of a camera convinced that you're a professional. You have the greatest self esteem of all candidates. But I think the only postive thing I can really say about the picture is that you seem natural. Let's look at the next one.
Here we can see your self esteem and vanity again, but the pose is not quite what we wanted to see. You think you're beautiful but I think you lack anything demonic and that is what we need. Alright? Sorry, but I don't think you're gonna make it.
And last but not least:
BAPHOMET
Baphomet, I say it openly, you're my favourite! The expression of revolt you show here tells us you're the one who really gets the idea of being the devil. You show so much passion on that photograph it's just unbelieveable.
Baphomet, you know what you're doing. Just bluntly showing off your pentagram shaped head like this is what we need here. If we digitally improve that picture a little this could really be the one. There's just one thing about you that bothers me a tiny little bit. We'll see it on the next picture, too...
The problem I see is that despite your apparent age and experience you still don't know what to do with your ears. First the right ear goes down and then the left ear goes up. I am not yet sure if this will be a problem. We'll see...
