sasquatch sighting at the gym yesterday. sometime i would like to accompany the gideons and pass out mirrors to people who do not have one. is that mean? seriously, if i want to see a man covered in an obscene amount of hair i will go home and pet my labrador.
back to writing.
ok, so my voice is kind of chick-litty, but i'm a happy ending type of girl, so contemporary romance is how i roll. and, my heroines are not exclusively fashionistas - you know, the ones who wear jimmy choo's, prada, etc. no. my girls are a little city, a little country.
but, fanny packs?
fanny packs have NO place in a contemporary romance novel published in the present period ... UNLESS the author has made the fanny pack offender a quirky character on purpose, or a bicyclist. according to everyone's favorite source, wikipedia, "fanny packs were more popular during the early 90s." wikipedia also goes on to say that "fanny packs are considered unfashionable by most people ... Weird Al Yankovic wore one in his song 'White and Nerdy'."
i rest my case.
let's review the definition of contemporary again: marked by characteristics of the present period.
later sk8er.

Hey, furry gym guy could be the star of a new werewolf novel.
Ok I'm working on getting my chosen pic posted. Hmmmmm.......
your corgi is famous now.
i would be happy to consult with you on details of the werewolf. he wears sleeveless shirts--gross--and sweats like a coke can in the summer--double gross!
I once had a furry man hit on me. He played trombone. It was frightening.
Oh, and I love my fanny pack. Until I bought one of those backpack purses. Which was great for stomping around Europe. I like my hands free so purses and me don't get along well. Bring back the fanny pack!!!!
first of all, who calls their butt a fanny? problem number one. second, if i ever see someone with a fanny pack, the pouch part is in the front. so why is it even called a fanny pack? why not call it waist pack. maybe the root of my issue is with the name of the device?
On particularly hot days, you can remove your petticoat and stuff it in your fanny pack. Nice and breezy. I recommend it.
disclaimer: no member of the spanksters will ever get a glamour shot made while wearing a fanny pack, a petticoat, seashell earrings, OR leather deck shoes.
I just thought I would complain about men that feel compelled to grunt and groan whilst working out at the gym. Jeeezus! Do they really think we want to hear that?
