Yes, the book which I have another zillion words left to write is due in 7 days. Yes, I’m supposed to be working on it (and I am!). But there are some things that can jolt the writer in me right out of the moment. Like …
I’m sitting here — yes, yes, at another coffee shop — staring into space while I wait for the next burst of inspiration to strike. In walks this girl with low-riding pants that reveal a good three inches of her panties.
Excuse me. But, isn’t the whole point of this panty exposure thing to entice viewers with a sneak peek at attractive panties? Last I checked, briefs (notice I did not say THONG) with 2-inch wide dingy white elastic and red hearts on a now-gray-used-to-be-white background are NOT attractive.
Am I alone here, or is this sight enough to ruin any erotic romance writer’s spurt of creativity ?

Shame on her! Now, if only your editor would take this as a viable excuse for a deadline extension…

Calista, you are a genius! I am going to email my editor right now … *g*

LMAO…I don’t understand the whole showing your undies thing to begin with, but showing your nasty ass undies, ICK.

I gotta agree with Bella here–Panties and Bra straps were not meant to be seen period! =(

Yeah, the whole show-your-undies-thing is a mystery to me.
Amie, I have to admit that the visible bra strap thing has grown on me. Not that I think it’s attractive, but I like not having to fiddle with my straps to make sure they’re not showing all the time.
But I DO NOT wear my bras that have the lint balls stuck to the elastic or, worse, have the stretched out frayed elastic. I save my good bras for the bra-strap-showing days. LOL

I just came from my son’s football game and *LOL* there was this woman in front of me in a white tank top and her pink (twisted up knotted) bra strap was distracting me the whole time. And it was HOT pink!
August 29th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
ROFLMAO, Amie! See how distracting it was? Bet you couldn’t concentrate on the game!
August 30th, 2006 at 9:49 pm
Yuck. It’s enough to drive you home to type, Rachelle. Good luck with that deadline!

Thanks so much, Edie!

I’m with Amie. Underwear has the word ‘under’ in it for a reason

Great point, Michelle.
