The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

A Brit a Day [#787]

I would absolutely love to run into Henry Ian Cusick on the streets of LA when the cast of 'Scandal' comes back to shoot S2 this summer.  Guess I better be in LA when that happens.

A Brit a Day [#786]

I toured one of the three US Olympic training facilities [in Chula Vista, California] today with my son's fifth grade class.

No, Matt Smith was not there.  But if you consider the few degrees of separation involved, we're practically related.

Oh. Jesus. God.

There's a shakeup in the works here at A Brit a Day.  Some new stuff later in the week.

A Brit a Day [#782]



HA!  I bet you think today's brit is Tom Hiddleston...again.  WRONG!  Well, it could be, but it's not--it's Jeremy Irons [or 'Scar' to the under-thirty set].  This video is stunning.  The whole piece will be....more so.

A Brit a Day [#781]

Eddie Argos made the cover of Artrocker a few years back with his characteristic charm and a glance toward the heavens.

A Brit a Day [#780]

Henry Ian Cusick just the way we love him:  Bearded, contemplative, tousled Desmond Hume in a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up.  Sublime.

A Brit a Day [#779]



Matt Smith was on the latest episode of Top Gear in their 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' segment.  Spoiler Alert:  Guess who of the Whovians who have visited the show had the fastest driving time for the test track?

A Brit a Day [#777]

Good god, did you see 'Sherlock' last night?  I knew Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman [oh, Martin Freeman....] would knock it out of the park, but what about Andrew Scott [Moriarty]?  Where have you been all my life?

Apparently at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.  Andrew Scott was born in Dublin, Ireland, but has since become a Londoner.

Tom Hiddleston/Loki, dressed to crash the party. [clicky-clicky-open this in another tab cuz this picture is real big.]

OK, so I understand about the number 13, but why aren't we afraid of mistletoe?

"Mistletoe doesn't kill gods, gods kill gods!"
