Just another damn group blog!
I don’t know that I have any odd fetishes (well not that I’d share anyway), but I was watching my husband one day–he was tying his shoe, very bland, nothing exciting–and I was watching his hands. He has pretty strong hands. And it got me thinking, I ALWAYS look at men’s hands. Don’t know why, but I always have.
As a matter of fact, there is this particular guy from my “list” (you know the married couple list, usually celebs and whatnot whom you never have a shot in hell meeting but if you do you’re allowed to–hmm-hmm with them and not get in trouble). I was looking at his hands and they were nice strong and …small. Kinda bothered me. I didn’t take him off my list, but it made me consider knocking him down a notch or two.
I never thought I was quite so opinionated about hands, but the more I thought about it I realized I am. I also thought over all my heroes and, while I may not write it in the book as a descriptor, I can tell you how each and every one of theirs hands are–down to scars or freckles.
I don’t like when guys bite their nails or have manicured nails. Tattoos and hands are dependant on what and where it is (saw one in a movie the other day I kinda liked, gave him an edge).
Again, I can tell you about each hero in my books and I think it affects how I feel about them when I write and how my heroine feels about him and whatnot. Is this weird? Aside from actual fetish books, do other writers have that “thing” they know in great detail about their heroes (or heroines)?
and please . . . don’t get me started on feet–UGH!
