...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.
I burst out laughing! I was so glad I checked in on X Marks this evening instead of in the morning. I usually go over the new posts with a piping hot cup of coffee in my hand...I'm afraid my computer would have been shorted out and I would have gone to the emergency room with burns.
Cheers and LOL
