the devil’s in the blue dress

PhotobucketSo I’m about three-quarters through my current work-in-progress for Harlequin Desire, tentatively titled A Baby in the Billionaire’s Boardroom.  I’m pretty sure that will change, but it sure does a good job of summing up the crux of the story, doesn’t it? :winkwink

But I had to stop in the middle of a scene the other day because I just couldn’t picture my heroine’s evening gown well enough to describe it.  And where does a savvy author such as myself turn when she needs to do a bit of research?  Why, the internet, of course! :peekaboo

For the record, there are way too many pretty-pretty dresses out there.  But here are some that caught my eye:

Finally, though, I settled on this one:

Partly because it’s gorgeous & sexy, & partly because I need to leave lots of room to showcase the jewelry my heroine will be wearing at her neck, ears, hand, & wrist. :cuffs

So what do you think?  Did I make the right choice, or do you like one of the other dresses better?


Happy Hunk Day (Valentine’s edition)

Today’s hunk showed up a little early, but I don’t think we should hold that against him. After all, if he waited until next week to wish us all a Happy Valentine’s Day, he’d be too late. :VDay
