Mira’s no fashionista, but she definitely has her own sense of style…
And now here’s an update on just that.

First an observation: Some people seem to think there is a line draw between fashion and literature, as though to combine the two would be a big stretch. I completely disagree with this notion. Just like the costumes in a play and the wardrobe and make-up of a movie cast makes a big difference in production quality, fashion has a place in literature. You would never image Sherlock Holmes wearing a graphic-T and a pair of jeans… and why do you think that is? Or maybe, can you image Alice wearing  a studded bra and stiletto hills as she tumbles down the rabbit hole, but lets face it, that’s not exactly the classic tale you’re thinking of…I leave the rest to you to think about.

Now here are some style tips from

my own personal fashion guru, trainer, and my physical inspiration for Mira.

And now here’s an update on just that.

First an observation: I’ve noticed that when I write a story and I do all that I do to develop my characters, I don’t spend a lot of time on their attire. It seems that what my characters are wearing from scene to scene is one of those things I’d rather leave to the imagination of the reader. There are times, though, when what a character is wearing is very important or vital to a scene and therefore must be described. I’ve determined that because I’m such a visual person, anything that I can’t actually see, I’d rather imagine…Wonder how others feel about that?
