Desire Attire -- What Clothes are in your closet?
With Desire's new wealth and power alpha males, it's not always easy describing our heroes' clothes. For an author who loves a man in tight jeans and a western work shirt, my alpha males now are CEO types, men comfortable in a suit and tie, men who toss their Armani jackets to the side and roll up their dress shirt sleeves. I have to admit, it's a whole new ballgame for me. I find myself perusing the likes of GQ (not a bad place to be) and the internet for designer clothes that men of great wealth wear.
My heroines are a bit easier. Though, I don't have these clothes in my closet! But I have friends with exquisite taste and then there's my twenty-something daughter, who is savvy about clothes and shoes and everything you might find on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. She's a copyeditor for 2 highend magazines, so when I call her to ask what kind of trendy expensive sunglasses would my heroine wear, she not only gives me the answer, she sends along a picture!
In guess you're wondering, we went with Christian Dior.
Vogue Magazine has been a great help to me. For fashion and pics, you can't find any better source to what the stars wear. I can just whip open a page and ususally find what I'm looking for, from a summer sundress to hip nightclubbing attire to sexy lingerie. Need I mention Victoria Secret?
So, what's in your closet? Who is your favorite designer? Are you up on the current trends? And do you prefer a man in a sleek black tuxedo or one in jeans and a Stetson?

I don't really have a lot of cloths in my closet, they are mostly in my dresser. Yoga pant, sweats, jeans, t-shirts and and sweat shirts. My favorite designer would be designer companies that are available at Wal-mart. I think a man in jeans and steston looks more approachable.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I like bargain shopping. And those cowboys don't wear designer jeans. Wrangler has a lock on true western wear. I love going into the Boot Barn.

I love, love, love dressing my characters and spend an inordinate amount of time perusing magazines (like Vogue and GQ!) ... not to mention the amount of money I spend buying said magazines. I must admit I do love that image of the business suit, with jacket and tie shed, sleeves rolled up. My current hero knows how to dress business but he's a cattleman (cowboy) at heart so his Akubra is never far away!
