An Easy Craft Project
Here it goes - I have a jewelry box filled with lovely baubles and also a multitude of smaller boxes, placed tidily in two different rooms filled with treasures from the past I want to keep, but not necessarily wear, although I might want to for fun.How can I see what I have and actually wear them, not just leave them to reside in boxes?
I need to find a rack. yes, a garden rack - preferably an old rusted out one with character.
This interesting hint for repurposing an item was found in an article called DIY Decor Inspiration: 14 Eco Crafts for the Home found on Web Ecoist. I found the site while researching Missing in Paradise [September 7th at Ellora's Cave], where the heroine, Mary Miller, professional monikers are the Queen of Green and the Guru of Reuse.
A few hints that I enjoyed are passed on in the book, but not this one.

Hump Day Reflections
Huntington Beach US Surfing Open 2011 by Pedro Szekely
A surfer is a lean mean fighting machine who manipulates and masters Mother Nature with every twist, turn and flying leap! It's a beautiful sport to watch, plus it means sitting on the beach checking out the guys in sleek rubber suits or tunks staying on by defying gravity - can't be bad!
Missing in Paradise with its retired professional surfer, occassional big wave and more often any other wave riding hero, releases September 7th at Ellora's Cave.

What's on my mind today...
Because of a notorious murder in my family back in the twenties, I've known about Elizabeth Short's, The Black Dahlia, unsolved case for most of my life and still think about it.She was a young woman, brutally killed, mutilated and her body dumped in a public setting. As if that wasn't bad enough, it was further sensationalized by the media to the extent no one knew what was real and was pure conjecture, and her killer has never been found.
For some reason I'll often think about Short when a horrific crime or young woman is labeled as missing occurrs in Southern California.
The Black Dahlia is mentioned for this very reason in
Missing in Paradise
[releasing September 7]:"Screw scandal, I hope she doesn't wash up on the beach or become the modern day Black Dahlia."It's interesting to see up close how various events throughout our lives play out later. Who knew reading about Short's murder as a child would be in my head when I wrote as an adult about a young woman who goes missing - I certainly didn't.

Naughty Thought for Monday
Okay, it's Monday, you didn't do any laundry which means no clean underwear...what do you do?No problem, pick up Bronze Underwear from Dacotang on Etsy for $777.00. They fit all, come with a hefty rope to keep them in place, "are wearable under most pants" and the bronze is skin friendly.
It's the later that kind of makes me pause. Does this mean it can be used as a, um, well, condom of sorts?
The designer says it can, for some, boost the libido so I think it's a legitimate question, especially when the upgraded version is seen.For a mere $7777.00 you can purchase the Luxury Bronze Underwear with 14 Tahitian Pearls attached. Surely those are for a partner and not the wearer - right?
In my opinion, if a woman was in a bar and checked out a man's crown only to find lumps where a slick hard-on should be, they'd run!

Get Ready to Laugh!
The Sneeze
A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of an airplane.
The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose, and then visibly shuddered for ten to fifteen seconds.
The man went back to his reading.
A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, and then shuddered violently once more.
Assuming that the woman might have a cold, the man was still curious about the shuddering.
A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again.
As before, she took a tissue, wiped her nose, her body shaking even more than before.
Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman and said, "I couldn't help but notice that you've sneezed three times, wiped your nose and then shuddered violently.
Are you OK?"
"I am sorry if I disturbed you, I have a very rare medical condition; whenever I sneeze I have an orgasm."
The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious.
"I have never heard of that condition before" he said. "Are you taking anything for it?"
The woman nodded, "Pepper."

A Favorite Aspect for AAD is...
It started in 2010, was requested by many and so there again in 2011, and Voodoo the favored tattoo artist for Authors After Dark will be traveling to New Orleans in 2012!There were three tats done this year that I saw up close and they were all as unique and fabulous as the next. Stella has a beautiful snowflake on her inner wrist and was being interviewed by a PBS crew while it was happening - the chick was dead calm, spooky. Another was Bindah's [sp ?] of a partially opened book that looked ready to read on the back of her hip - totally delightful.
And the third belongs to Eon [of Augusta Li and Eon de Beaufont fame], the man to the right who recently stared as Frank-n-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I begged him for a pic of his bicep tat because it is gorgeous and I wanted to share it here - thanks darlin', hugs! The color of the heart is so bright, it says Boss over the top and fits on his arm perfectly.
Yes, tattoos were happening around the clock at AAD and none of them are the similar. Can't wait to see who gets what next year!

Recognize Him?

Everyone Loves a Skull
I've talked here on the blog about tattoos and briefly on piercings in a few of my books, but
Missing in Paradise
is where the two intermingle and join forces.
The hero, Mike Kane, has quite a few tats, all of which depict various events in his life. There's a 3D tattoo of a wound being stiched back together, a shark in the tribal style and then there are a few skeletons mentioned. While a skull tattoo generally represents a big change in life through it's link with death, the more common association taken today is with danger and fear. The former is more how Mike views them
Meanwhile the heroine, Mary Miller, chose her particular piercings for personal enjoyment and, even though she has a job in the public's eye, she words hard to keep them private. They're for her pleasure and whomever she wants to share them with, and not fodder for the gossip mills. It was an interesting turn to have her deciding to change her jewelry to reflect changes she was undertaking to live a more fulfilling life.
The fun part of working with tattoos and piercings, these in particular, is creating unique pieces specific to the characters involved. If I could draw them, I would, but I can't and so did that with words.
Missing in Paradise , a contemporary erotic romance with bondage, will be released at Ellora's Cave on September 7th.
