OK, so Elaine might not be solely responsible for the popularity of black tights, which have become woman's most necessary staple in winter weather. But she sure knew how to rock them.
So many things are going on in this look. There are granny glasses, sexy lingerie, a business jacket, jeans, a 19th-century hairdo, and a 'come hither' gaze.
A Sunny Kramer Collection
Very confusing, which is appropriate since so many women in the 90's were trying to figure out that balance between dressing attractively and being professional. This is basically the grown-up version of Cher's classic Clueless get-up, which was also recently seen in Iggy Azalea's Fancy video, the ultimate throwback to 90s fashion. Unsure of your outfit? Just add a statement necklace. And yes, those are back in vogue too. It's the best way to dress up a white shirt and a jacket with a perplexing honeycomb pattern.
Elaine's floral dress is just short enough to avoid looking like the lovechild of a sister wife and Laura Ashley. Bonus points for the granny socks and oxfords—always a classic look.

Wearing all white everything while stuffing your face is an amazing skill and Elaine has it covered.

The guys are bland go-nowhere duds, without the gumption or even the awareness that the women have to get out of the hopeless home town, but when it comes down to it, they've got everything that is needed: There are seven stories, at about 37 pages each, little novelettes.
The leadoff story is slow, with a woman who's a total tramp for a brutish stud, yet neither of them can admit it. The guy is greasy and abusive, but although Susannah has the fortitude to make it on her own out there in the great big world, she's a total slave to the married bum. Oh, and it's winter. The second story features a billionaire fleeing from the world and a high-viz breakup, snowed in in a remote mountain cabin with an intrepid paparazzo, with a bear attack and avalanche thrown in. The third story is about a wonderfully sexually healthy California trollop and that's a compliment who goes to extreme wintertime lengths to get through to a whining slob.
For a woman-centric romance collection, I was amazed at the pathetic depths this woman would go to please an undeserving idiot identified so clearly within the first three paragraphs. In the end, she gets her man, and he's all a girl could want. The fourth story is an interminable mutual whine- and guilt-fest between a husband and wife at odds over conception. Talk about a massive turn-off, with the husband bleating about his guilt at being nagged, being teased and deceived, and her whining over her screaming need to make a baby.
And it's cold and snowy outside. Not a good erotic story, not one bit. The fifth story is a present-tense deeply overwrought northern Minnesota glopfest between Gideon and Alana, she coming off as a massively selfish city girl unwilling to assist her man in his time of need. And they crash rhythmically together a few times as they deadpan their emotional tragedy, both unwilling to actually do anything to fix it. The sixth story had real promise, but its truly lame backstory, complete with two idiotic gomer criminals right out of a TV sitcom, ruined it all.
There's an old mansion, "knickknacks, lace and frippery," a man and a woman snowed in with their long-hidden desires slowly finding expression, the power out, and every time the heat and passion built, they both fizzled like a snow cornice collapsing on a campfire. The last story has upstate New York and maple syrup featuring in another story of a successful girl back to her roots, and a grubby, dead-end stud she left behind finally taking her to where she's always wanted to go.

This one has a bit of explicit power transfer, with the stud actually breaking our heroine's will as she throbs with the heat of her desire and her sweaty blah blah blah There are no multiples here; all stories are strictly man v. The characters are stock and shallow, the only real gimmick here being cold weather and its conceptual opposition to the heat of passion. If you like romance more than the much more direct erotic fiction, then this is the one for you. If you want quick, direct, explicit and varied sexual action, there are many other collections that will serve you better than this one.
Susannah returns home to Minerva where her former lover Derrick reignites their heat. Stressed to the max, burned-out millionaire Fletcher flees for Sunrise Mountain to escape; there he rescues a frozen bruised Janine who in turn rescues his libido and heart.

Shelly assumes it is her fault that her boyfriend Roger is cold regardless of what she tries; so she gives up on him only to find warmth and passion with Jeremiah. Married couple Kaylie and Connor becomes snowbound, which gives them time to reenact some of their hottest moments. Funeral services will be held at Beth Vieira officiating and Pastor Chris Farmer assisting.
