UNDER-WEARWITHALL

Not too long ago…
An editor read my one of my manuscripts…
And commented on a chapter…
That involved underwear.
“I laughed aloud reading this,”she said.
 
                  SCENE:
Five-acre native prairie in the Midwest…
Handsome guy (younger) works for protagonist…
She’s not so bad herself…
There’s an obvious attraction…
But because she’s older…
She can’t imagine he really wants her.
She then has a “Walter Mitty” moment.
          
            SCENARIO IN HER HEAD:
The handsome guy…
Asks if she would give him a pair of her underwear…
(please don’t ask why this came to my mind)
And yes…
The ones she wearing!
But now she has to think…
Am I wearing the silky black ones with lace?
Or the thick white cotton old lady ones?

The scene then goes on and on…
And gets more outrageous with her imagination.
After I amused myself writing this…
I got to thinking…
Has underwear ever starred in one of your stories?
And what if a whole book or movie…
Was based on underwear?
How about:
The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Underwear
The Secret life of Underwear
Midnight In My Underwear
Underwear Reloaded
Divergent Underwear
So?
Got another “underwear” title?

Always,
