Re: Diversity in BE

Oh, I get what you mean. I would sometimes like to be a little vague so that the reader can fill in his or her own blanks so that the MC can become their fantasy and not risk alienating them with my own. Since I do hide the faces (or at least the eyes) on most of my covers, I leave it up to the reader to kind of fill in the rest since the reality of a stock photo is almost never going to line up with the mental picture a reader has. But I do like to fill in the rest with as much detail as I can when it comes to hair, skin tone, build, breast size and other measurements.

Thank you for your input.
