But if the opportunity to rip your clothes off and drink your blood doesn't change his mind, he must be a tough nut to crack. :-) I would refer to a recent Time Out Chicago column tidbit: "Let her fuck whomever she wants, as long as she does it with you!" (I'm paraphrasing)

Great advice from everyone. The shopping and writing will be fun, even if you don't get your Lestat!
