03/22/2006: "Inspiration"
One of the questions I'm asked most frequently is where I get my ideas. Sometimes it's an overheard snippet of conversation, a movie scene, a magazine article, or a picture such as this....
This inspires me to write. It fires my imagination to fill in the blanks. It tells me nothing but leaves me yearning to know where he is, where he came from, where he's going, what happened immediately before this moment, what will happen next.
In actuality, it's a lovely ad for American Express but it literally captured my imagination and took my breath when I saw it. Well, maybe the breathless business was because Ken Watanabe is so incredible. That bone structure...that mouth...he even has beautiful hands....

Oh. My. God. He is... He is breathtaking. Sweet mercy, this man could fill in my blanks anytime. :-)
Thank you for the eye-candy, Jen. I'll be back later for another look.

You're welcome. I've put him on my bulletin board and shifted my computer monitor so I have an unobstructed view. 
I'd recommend buying the Rolling Stone issue with Shaun White on the front and then tearing out this ad as I did. 10 x 12. You'll hyperventilate.

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.” -Cindy Chupack, TV writer
