Visuals from 'Flying Solo'

Have I mentioned that Mike Newton *might* be my favorite character in Hot Commodity? ;) I guess that means I can start with a little visual from his speech -- the dreaded f-word aka the flogger!

I don't know what Mike is so scared of - then again, we don't know what Caius tried to do with the flogger. Ha! Here it is:

I've only visited Brooklyn once, and it was during one of those double decker bus tours that cheesy tourists like myself go on when we visit the city (well, at least before we've visited it enough to be seasoned). I believe all they did was take us across the Brooklyn Bridge, let us out to take pictures of the Manhattan skyline from that side of the harbor, and then we were right back on the bus again. This is quite clearly not a townhouse (at least not to my knowledge), but this is exactly how I pictured the Cullen and Whitlock residences - on top of one another. Cullens on the left, Whitlocks on the right, shared patio out back, and four stories of gloriousness with a rooftop terrace to boot:

Some of Mike's fashion will be coming up on Polyvore with the next chapter update. :)

Until next time...
