Blazing it up...

Currently Working on a Blaze novel. They are my favorite Harlequins. Sure, the plot is a big predictable. Sure, they are quick reads. But I like them. They are a steamy, sexy, fast read and perfect for the beach. And it is what I am in the mood to write. Nothing too deep for the moment.

Captain Jack Harkness

Long time, no blog, huh? But, I am back. And this time it is personal. Okay, so I have developed an obsession with Jack Harkness from Torchwood. New season debuts next month...SWEET! What is not to love about Jack? He has matinee idol good looks, pain-filled big blue eyes, and he has a voracious, omnisexual appetite. I kinda like that about him. He is earthy, not always a hero (or maybe an anti-hero?). Anyway, he is a post modern hero type.....

New Kids on the Block

It's official.

I'm seeing NKOTB in concert on June 26th. With my two best friends from childhood,Robin and Kelley.

We had an obsession as teenagers. Robin loved Joey. Kelley loved Jordan. I loved Donnie.

Why? He was such a bad boy. Unpredictable and that naughty grin.Rumors about groupies,destroying hotel rooms,and his general devil may care 'tude. Not to mention? The hip thrusts that boy did on stage fueled my adolescent hormones.

I wrote my first erotica about them...sure it involved kissing and my euphamism for sex "cleaning the tourbus"...but that was hot stuff for a 13 year old. Not to mention? I remember sending Donnie a pair of socks and a semi-sexual card called The Joy of Sox for his birthday? Who does that?

So,"Mean" Kelley, Robs and I are gonna drink, go sing songs, and dance...

Although since I'm the only single one? I'm so hoping to clean the tourbus.

Hugh Jackman

Okay, so watching the Oscars last night renewed my interest in Hugh Jackman. He was adorable...with the sly jokes, the singing, and the dancing. I loved it. Plus. he is People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive and I can't help but agree with that. I mean, the eyes, the mouth, and his lilty accent. Amazing. I can't help but drool a little when I see him.

What do you think of him?

Pretty in Pink

I admit it. I hate the color pink.

Does this make me less girly? Aren't romance writer types supposed to wear pink suits ? And write while eating bon bons? Um...well, no.

Recently, my niece informed me that pink was no longer her color of choice. She preferred black. I sighed in relief when she did. Already nine and she is empowered! Or is she..?

I never wanted to be Barbie growing up. Never wanted her pink and purple clothes and to live in her dream house.

I preferred black and red. I wanted to be a vampire. In fact, in high school I wore black for an entire year and I wore red for an entire year in middle school.

It is just who I am. I guess.

I think it is the epitomy of female flightiness somehow for me. Pink is just so darn girly. I consider myself a woman. A powerful woman. So, I have been running away from pink for years! In fact, the only items of pink clothing I own were given to me by my mother. I have two sweaters and two shirts. I wear them...not often.

But today I'm wearing one. And it is okay. Admittedly it isn't hot pink, it is a pale pink that I find more tolerable.What do all of you think of pink? Is it girly in the extreme?Is is a beautiful color and I need to get over myself?

Do YOU know who you are voting for? I do!

So, I'm an Obama girl.

I admit that he's a bit too centrist for my taste on some issues. I'd like universal health care and legalizing gay marriage to be part of his platform, but the rest? No contest.

But my point....? He is going to be a much better president than John McCain and he is going to be fifty times better than George W. Bush was. Barack is steady, even-keeled, and thoughtful. He's been educated and he can actually put together a well thought out argument for his opinions.

I'm all about Barack. Our nation will be safe in his hands...but only if you get out there and make a difference. Millions of democrats didn't vote in 2004...and that's how we got George W. Bush AGAIN. Remember the stock market crash? Wiring tapping and stomping on the constitution every chance he got? Along with dozens of Republican scandals? Well, think about that, before you decide to stay home on Tuesday, November 4th.

So get out and ROCK THAT VOTE!

Whore VS. Madonna

I am a liberal and a democrat but I feel some empathy for Sarah Palin. I know! She's not ready to be president. In fact, she's not ready to be vice-president, but instead of her qualifications we are focusing on her relative attractiveness, her wardrobe, and her sex appeal.

Last night I read an article in the Washington Post that suggested that Palin was chosen because McCain was flattered by the attention from a young woman.

Has this happened to Biden? To McCain? No. While Obama has had to deal with some racism, he hasn't had his sex appeal questioned.

Even Rush Limbaugh, commenting on Hilary, who is a stateswoman, that he didn't think the country was ready to see their leader turn into "an old lady". But they are okay with an old man?

Guess we aren't ready for a female in the West Wing.
