Six Sentence Sunday – Venus In Blue Jeans
Here’s a bit more from my first Konigsburg book, Venus In Blue Jeans. Docia and Cal (my h/h) are headed off to a dance where the citizens of Konigsburg are dressing up like the town’s earlier residents. This is Cal’s first sight of Docia in her costume.
The black satin top covered Docia’s upper body like a coat of paint. Silver roses were embroidered across her bosom, and silver lace rimmed the top edge of the bodice along the sumptuous swell of her breasts.
A great deal of sumptuous swell.
Another piece of silver lace circled her throat; she wore her hair in a topknot that looked like a cross between a Gibson girl and a can-can dancer.
She was a lonely cowboy’s dream girl—a dancehall queen with money, style and a creative imagination. She was also the hottest thing he’d seen since he’d discovered sex at age fifteen.

Nice description. The bit about the Gibson girl and can-can dancer is very evocative. Good six!
Thanks!
I miss these guys already. Can’t wait for the next book.
It’s on its way! Fearless Love, featuring Joe LeBlanc.
“A great deal of sumptuous swell” I LOVE that line!
Thank you!
Love how it shows her physically and him mentally/emotionally… great tease!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really like his reaction to seeing her — and with your great description, who can blame him!? Great six, Meg!
Thanks, Ryan!
