    can someone explain why his buckle is on the side and his sword is tucked in through his belt? He looks a wee bit of his rocker...I'm sure Hamish would never be caught dead out in public dressed as such!!!

    Since we're discussing romance novels, I thought I'd bring this thread up for all the newbies:

    No, that was a studio shoot, KT. I'd have drawn the line at a street/public shoot had it been suggested - they don't pay me enough for that. It was very hot in that studio, even though we had a huge fan running, so I was happy to strip off - and the fan was angled just perfectly under the circumstances! The buckle was positioned on my right-hand side because the Art Director knew that it would be hidden behind the book title eventually. Of course, I argued and threw a wobbly saying that I was not going to wear the buckle incorrectly positioned, and asking if he really knew who I was. He did, but he was the boss and who I was made no difference, and the stand-in guy they had waiting in the wings was a truly weedy specimen who, I knew instinctively, would not be capable of doing the job - so I gave in (for my art, you understand?)

    They stuck the sword through my belt because I refused to handle it! It was a cheap plastic thing, probably borrowed from 'Toys-are-Us' for the day, and I was NOT going to be photographed with anything like that in my hand. Not for all the tea in China! As it has turned out, it photographed quite well, but the Studio Assistant had to spray it with some bronze-coloured gunk, which took ages to dry, before it looked half authentic. Goodness knows what the Manager back at 'Toys-are-Us' said when they returned it!

    On the whole, and with some modesty, I think I can say I did quite a good job at that session. Of course, dozens of exposures were made but it was a private studio and no-one complained. Originally they wanted a menacing glint in my eye (or eyes), but I insisted (we Stars CAN insist on occasion, you know?) on the 'come hither' look which, finally, everyone agreed was just what was needed.

    As for the plaid brooch: it WAS actually pinned to my chest - I insisted (yes, for the second time!) that they did it that way. It was never going to hang right with the Blu-Tack they were already softening, and besides I enjoy a little pain from time to time - not a lot of people know that! The resulting flow of blood did pose a minor problem, in spite of someone suggesting that it would help to make it look as though I had been fighting for the horse-bound lassie's honour. However, that doesn't occur in the story (Story! Ha! Don't make me laugh!) nor could it without a complete rewrite. So that suggestion was dropped, and a nurse was sent for to stand just out of shot to mop the blood flow between 'takes', which she did to perfection. When the brooch was removed at the end of the shoot, the flow stopped almost immediately - that's one of my party tricks, stemming the flow. Remind me to do it for you all sometime.

    It was an average, boring sort of day, but at least it will have paid for a couple of new kilts.

    Ham, that was a real gem! You made my day.
