Writing in public can be embarrassing. I'm finishing my young adult novel, and I could NOT remember who I used as my "hero" in books one and two. Usually, I keep their pictures in my Scrivener file, but for some reason I didn't have it. Well, I knew he was an Argentine model and I knew he played "Taco" on a telenovela. Or so I thought. The reason I picked this guy is he has that pasty, long, flat-haired look the teens like. I personally don't get it, but my tastes run to Adam Ant, so who am I to say?
Anyway, if you research models from Argentina, you're not likely to get male images. Learned that first. But then, if you add Taco, there's a whole bunch of stuff on how the Taco Bell doggie died. Well, that's sad. I'm just looking for my hero, I don't want to learn about dead Chihuahuas!
I end up looking up "hottest Argentine men!" I'm sitting in a booth at Starbucks and I want to tell the guy next to me, "It's for research, honest!" But he just looks at me like I'm one sick puppy.
Well, after a long, fruitless search, I finally figured out the male model's role wasn't Taco. It was Nacho. All that trouble for the wrong menu item! I'm ready to go back to adult research now, but I'm also craving a Chimichanga. Ever been pulled out of your comfort zone?

Hahaha. I can only imagine.... :)
LOL, Kris. Only you and Diann. I don't understand the attraction, either, but I have Mel search with me--which must feel really weird to Mel, especially when I want to know which woman would work the best as the beautiful heroine, and he's trying to NOT make me jealous.
Oh my word! Taco to Nacho. That takes the tres leches cake. :)
See Kristin, I'm too old for this job. LOL
I googled "Adam Ant" in images. If that is the man, the same way you don't get the teenage craze...I don't get him. Lol.
LOL Ah, I loved him. I loved him as the highwayman. Sigh.
the only "Adma Ant" is a cartoon Ant, back in the 60's.
And what is a Chihuahuas?
This had me rolling with laughter, Kris, as I could just see some guy watching you doing your "research." This is exactly why I could never do that in a public place.
