Chicago Rooftop Bar

Walking in the shoes of one of my characters at a rooftop bar in Chicago.

I flew back to Chicago last weekend. I had an amazing day soaking in all the city’s sights, sounds, and tastes. And I renewed my inspiration for writing scenes in my series set in one of the greatest cities.

This photo was taken at Cerise, a rooftop bar in Chicago, where I enjoyed a tequila and dragon fruit cocktail.

This is the main theme in my book Overruling Judgment. Loving two men, she risks devastating three hearts…unless she commits to both.

National Underwear Day

As we celebrate the humble undergarment, let’s take a moment to appreciate the vast lexicon dedicated to what we wear underneath. Did you know that one of the most debated topics among writers isn’t plot twists or character arcs but…what to call your undies? 🤔

From “briefs” to “boxers,” “panties” to “lingerie,” the options are endless, and each term brings its own flair:

Briefs: Straight to the point, no nonsense.
Boxers: Casual, laid-back, maybe a bit sporty.
Panties: A word that can either make you giggle or cringe, depending on how it’s said.
Lingerie: Fancy, elegant, and a touch of mystery.
And let’s not forget the old-school gems that might make you chuckle:

Bloomers: Sounds like something your great-grandma might’ve worn.
Long Johns: Perfect for those cold winter nights, or if you’re starring in a Western.
Y-fronts: Ah, the classic dad underwear. Functional, but not exactly fashion-forward.
Then there are those fun, quirky names:

Tighty-whities: The trusty staple, though perhaps not the sexiest.
Boxer briefs: The perfect hybrid, for the indecisive.
Choosing the right word is a delicate balance. Call them “underpants” and you might sound like a kid. Say “lingerie,” and suddenly things are a bit more…sophisticated.

So today, let’s honor the unsung heroes of our wardrobes. Whether you’re rocking your briefs, flaunting your boxers, or lounging in your lingerie, remember: it’s not just what you wear, but what you call it that counts!

Happy Underwear Day! 🩲🩳👙
