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 [#25]

I tried like mad to find a way to justify this post as A Brit a Day. Jack Simpson is an incredible designer of men's dresswear. I re-invent my wedding memories every time I look at this clipping. His suits are so flattering to the male shape. But he is all American. I couldn't find a Brit connection. Here is the next best I can do: Jack Simpson, not this one, was a legendary golfer in Scotland in the nineteenth century. If you want to know more about him, try the wikipedia.
