I was having an off day earlier this week and I walked by a TV, saw the Golden Girls were on, and even though I couldn’t hear the sound, I smiled. The girls are just that awesome. They always make me laugh. So today I’m sharing one from the fantastic and sexy Blanche Devereaux.

Blanche: I do love the rain so… it reminds me of my first kiss.
Dorothy: Aww… your first kiss was in the rain?
Blanche: No… it was in the shower!

The Golden Girls

Still love that show!

I have yet to watch more than a couple episodes of this show (it’s on my list of things to catch up on), but I just love this scene. It’s from the episode titled “Captain Jack Harkness.” Very powerful delivery.

“Stuck in 1941, where the dance hall is being used for service personnel. Jack meets the real Captain Jack Harkness, the man whose identity Jack took after his death, which Jack learns will be the following day at a training exercise.” (read more) Watch as Captain Jack comes out of the closet and shares a public kiss.

Once a week I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…

I was in the mood to share something sensual today. This is the kind of visual that inspires. I believe this is from an Argentinian soap. Characters are Manuel & Lalo.

If anyone has watched the show feel free to post a comment and let everyone know what you thought of it.

Thanks,

Today’s video is a montage of gay movies set to “You Look So Fine” by Garbage. Some beautiful intimate moments (warning, there’s some skin).

I like sex scenes in movies where you can see so much more than the sex. When the emotions are visceral and raw, right there for us to see.

Films included are:

Ciao
Broken Hearts Club
Dog Tags
Patrick 1,5
Shock To The System
The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life Of Ethan Green
Third Man Out

Once a week, I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else) that I’ve seen or read about recently. So here is this week’s For the Love of…

I’m a sucker for great kisses. Mostly for myself (who wouldn’t be?), but I do enjoy watching a lovely couple kiss. Sometimes when writing about a kiss (and the other physical stuff too), I’ll look at images for inspiration. Yeah, I love my work.

I also use pics for settings and character descriptions, but looking at the kisses is way more fun!

So today I’m sharing some great same-sex kisses I thought would be good for inspiration (most are m/m but there’s a couple f/f that I love). And they’re not all lips to lips. Enjoy!

Did they inspire you?

Here’s a video of Deniz & Roman from Alles was zählt (All That Matters), a German soap opera, set to the song “Now and Forever.” This one is lovely, especially the parts at the end with them on the couch. Nice!

Has anyone watched the show? The clips with English subtitles are on YouTube if you’re interested. I’ve seen a few episodes but haven’t had the time to go back through all of them. I’ve heard great things about their storyline. If you’ve seen it or start watching it in the future let me know what you think. I’d love to hear about it.

I was telling some of my writer friends this week about how I use photos for inspiration when describing my characters and settings. I also use them to help describe physical actions (like kissing!). I love to find photos for what I call “almost kisses.” It’s that moment right before a kiss where the couple (or more!) is so close to touching lips to lips, but aren’t quite yet. In a photo, you can freeze that moment in time. In fiction, you can drag it out and build up the tension. It can be one of the most romantic moments, especially for a couple’s first kiss. Here are some good ones:

So what physical moment is the most romantic for you? Is it different in fiction than in real life?

On Wednesday December 30, the ABC soap One Life to Live became the first US soap to break the same sex barrier for an “on-screen” love scene when Oliver and Kyle spent almost two-and-a-half minutes “getting busy.” I’m not a regular viewer of the show, but I wanted to share. It’s a great scene, reminiscent of traditional, romantic love scenes (even including the traditional “after sex” shot with the blankets covering their nipples. hehehe).

Thank you to One Life to Live, ABC, Scott Evans, and Brett Claywell. Kudos!!

Wasn’t it lovely?

This weekend I finished making changes from the line edits for my debut novel, More. I’m excited and the story is on my mind a lot again, so I thought I would share a video today that reminds me of the more intimate moments in More. The guy with the wandering mouth reminds me of Matthew. He doesn’t really look exactly how I picture Matthew, but something about the way he kisses reminds me of him.

This is a beautiful, erotic kiss. I will warn you it’s steamy, but it is only an intense kiss (okay, a bit more) and the clothes stay on (well, on but pushed up a bit). Anyway, it’s one great video from YouTube. Take a look…

When I start thinking about my characters for a new story, I find a couple pictures for each. Nothing that looks exactly like them, but close enough to what I’m picturing that the photos help me get the descriptions from my head to the paper.

I’m a sucker for a good smile. It’s one of the physical traits that draw me to a person. So I always try to find one picture for each guy that has a smile. Something to look at when I’m writing a scene where he’s happy, when he’s falling in love — even if he doesn’t want to admit that.

So today, I thought I’d share some of the newer pictures I’ve found.  I haven’t used any of these yet, but they have some great smiles.

So what do you think? Do you like a good smile? What other aspects do you find attractive in a person?
