Hair

Overview: For the writing of "Gift With Purchase," I drew on my experience as a make-up artist and skin care specialist at some of the Fifth Avenue stores in NYC. As I built the two main characters for this sizzling story--Colin Welling and Tim Wilson--I focused on specific men I'd worked with in the industry over the years, and threw in a bit of movie star appeal for aesthetics. I imagined Colin Welling as a Cary Grant-type--a professional with dashing good looks and a smooth countenance. I modeled Tim Wilson on Orlando Bloom, imagining the star as a ballet dancer in the Masters program at the Tisch School of Arts.
