What is it about vampires we all find so alluring? Is it their immortality? Their strength? Their wealth?
How about their looks? Their clothes? Or maybe their fangs?
For me, it's a complex tonic of things. Traditional vampires-those from way back when coffins were beds, sunlight meant you would be sweeping more dust than usual, and unless you wanted to die, it was human blood all the way-have evolved into hot alpha heroes with a bad temper and a tendency to make your toes curl and your blood sizzle.
My ideal vampire would be one who has a sturdy sense of right and wrong, an unwavering passion for life, and emotional flaws that would deem him imperfect. He would be a male who fought like the universe depended on him, protected the innocent, and had a weakness for his woman.
Oh yeah, and this is the twenty-first century. Who says they can't roam the malls in daylight and have a hot fudge sundae? How about having your own personal fashion consultant tucked in that dressing room with you as you model your newest pre-purchased red dress?
An immortal that has a sentimental human side but isn't afraid to display his power and strength is delicious. If I can't connect with a vamp because he's all brawn and cement barriers, well hell. Guess I'll be aiming that wrecking ball myself! Bye bye vampy. Take flight.
Now, gimme a guy in a nice pair of dark jeans that fit just right where it matters, a soft shirt that accentuates rather than looks like the seams are going to have a serious hissy under their strain, and polished boots or leather shoes-and a nice leather jacket doesn't hurt-and I'm putty.
As for figure and features, we all have our own opinion. I love sharp, rugged features. I love longer hair and piercing eyes. I love an air of power.
I need my fan.
How about you? Are you all vamped up and ready to go?
