2011 Spring SW questions
April 2
Maple Candy/syrup?
I don't like maple donuts... so probably not maple candy. But I'd love to try maple syrup
So, someone on the IGI thread posted about some prints she received from this artist: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pinkytoast. I love everything! Would you like anything from there?
the link wouldn't work for me, sorry
Stones?
Ugh, I need to catch up on the thread.. is this for like, crystals kind of stones? If so, yes, I love those kind of stones!
Animals that creep you out?
worms. sometimes spiders, if I look at them long enough.
Clowns?
do clowns creep me out? no, not really. I did order 2 decants of the new clown scents though
March 30
Do people like Roller Derby? If so, would you want anything from that sport? Like memorabilia or anything?
I'm not really into it
March 29
Would you be squicked if I made you something with a kiss print that was made with my actual lips? (The ones on my face!) I solemnly swear I don't have mono, Ebola, or any sort of French disease. Bubonic plague is still on the table.
I think I'd be okay with that...
What is the coolest thing you have recently bought or been given that wouldn't exceed the price cap?
?
March 25
So Witchees, do you enjoy pre-1970 movies? If so, who are your favorite actors/actresses?
I love classic movies! I Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Irene Dunne, John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Bob Hope, Jane Russell... My faves are: GWTW, Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, It's A Wonderful Life, Penny Serenade, My Favorite Wife, The Quiet Man, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire...
Are you interested in trying Super Villainess (from Villainess - the birthday scent that was just released tonight!) and if so, which item do you like the most? (Soap, Whipped, Smooch, Extrait, Smack...)
it sounds a little TOO leathery for me - my b/f would probably hate it, lol
If I were to order you a Smack, which four notes would you like?
I'd like to try: 2x Vanilla Bean, Spice Trade, and Incense
Would you enjoy receiving a knitted gift from your witch? If so what would you be interested in (scarf, hat, wrist / handwarmers, socks, etc.) and in what colors?
Yes! a hat or arm warmers would be super-awesome! Black, Grey, Berry/Wine
March 23
Easter Candy - do you like it? If so, what types?
I like Cadbury Mini Eggs, the caramel filled eggs, jellybeans - esp the black ones!
What scent(s) are you petrified of getting DC'd?
Perversion, Spellbound (at least I have a back-up of that one), Morocco, TKO, GRR, Scherezade, Maiden, Liz...
March 22
Violette Market Update is up. Do you covet anything from it?
I added some wishes to my "imp/decant" wishlist
What is your favorite type of wine? Would you be interested in trying something new? In that case, is there anything you really DONT like? Ooooo how about dessert wines?
I love dessert wines! I love trying new stuff! I love riesling and chardonnay, a good Cab or Merlot.
March 21
What three things are you craving right now?
A mocha, a brownie, and graham crackers... lol
paper goods, anyone need? including resume paper, and formal stationery as well as casual cards.
I love stationery and cards
What is a scent that you've been trying to find even a sample of for a very long time to no avail? (What bottle would you die to get your hands on - even a partial?)
I have a list of these in my "imps/decants I'd like to try" and "bottle wishes" blog entries
Is there anything in your life that you'd like advice or a "selfhelp" book for?: (ie finances, eating healthier, meal planning)
finances would be kind of boring, even if it would be helpful. I probably wouldn't read it, lol. Maybe something by Louise Hay, or Christine Northrup, or Wayne Dyer... I like those kind of things - spiritual self help! LOL
March 19
If your Witch lived near you, would you be happy or creeped out to get a "coupon" for a service like cleaning help or babysitting or dogwalking or coffee out with your Witch or something like that? Would you be creeped out if a local minion personally delivered a package to your house from a far-away Witch?
I would love cleaning help, or a coffee date... just give me a little bit of notice, an unannounced visit would throw me out of whack...
Let's say I have a pair of something you collect, would you like one of them and we have matching things?
I think that would be totally cool!
March 18
Do you like poetry?
I like it okay, not hugely into it though
What types of scents do you like to scent your home? Which do you totally avoid?
my family is all weird about scents... it would have to be something fairly mainstream. I like calming scents, comforting scents.
What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?
I am open to being enabled, I'd love to get into comics. The Dawn series looks cool
How do you feel about nail polish? What colors do you like? Sparkles?
LOVE nail polish! I like reds, pinks, berries, blacks, greys, anything except peaches/corals/lavenders etc. Sparkles are fine, although sometimes a pain to get off. If the color is awesome, it's worth it though...
Household/kitchen goods/gadgets?
Eh. I wouldn't get excited over anything like that. Unless it was decorative...
Ok geek check - what sort of geeky things do you do? Do you read comics/graphic novels? Are you obsessed with something (a TV show maybe?) Do you work in a geeky field? Do you play rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons? Would you like gifts related to any of these?
Not really, I guess. I'm kind of a techno-geek. I love gadgets/electronics. I like ST: TNG. That's about it.
Do you have a favorite fabric? If someone were to make you a fabric item, would you prefer it be out of any fabric? e.g. velvet, satin, silk, cotton, bamboo??? Would this change if it were an article of clothing vs. a bag/pillow/blanket/somethingelse
I would love anything, no matter what it's made out of... if it's a bag/pillow/blanket, something cool to touch - satin, silk, velvet would be fun
Anything with the Worm Moon update that you're already lusting after?
Don't be mad - I already signed up for decants of the Holding Back the Night ones
March 17
Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only ex. Diaspora, Demonoid, etc. If so, what?
Don't even know what that is...
Pillows? What size/designs/colors would most interest you?
smallish, either rectangle or square... a medium-to-darkish color, fairly durable fabric
purses? bags? What style/colors?
YES! I love bags... There's a few on my Etsy favorites (probably buried, I'll look for more)
Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors?
Surprise me, I've never done this, lol
Would you like anything from Starring Fragrances. They make awesome hair stuff, natural deoderant, and home fragrance (and a ton of other stuff, those are just my favs)?
I will check them out...
March 16
For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer?
I wear berry, nudes, dark rose, some reds (I have light olive skin so keep that in mind, lol - no peach, corals, light pinks, etc) I like sheer and opaque, but mostly wear opaque. I love shimmer! Lip balms - lightish scents, no chocolate.
Are there any fancy/gourmet/special herbs or spices that you'd love to receive? ie: good quality vanilla or other extracts, vanilla beans, saffron, lavender, etc.
Nah, not really.
What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you?
Owls, wolves, cats... I want a Bichon Frise someday. And a little black Pug!
If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want?
If I have a WCWC Witch, I'd like to get anything that has any of my fave notes in it (musk, amber, tea, honey, rose, mint, lemon, vanilla, apple, cocoa) or smells like any of my fave scents (see profile/wishlist/etc) but I like light florals, fruity scents, foody scents, sexy scents... I certainly don't expect any of these, but because the question was asked, I went through the "unreleased" thread to peek at reviews... a few that caught my eye: Katharina v7, Cake Smash v6, Saqqara v2, Elf v4, Victorian Rose Milk v1. I've never sniffed MB: Underpants, so I don't know if that would work, but I'd be glad to try, lol. Just from trying the released versions, I'm curious about Boo v3 and Sugar Plum Fairy v3.
DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither?
only DVD, no Blu-Ray for me, please
Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?)
Any socks are fine with me, I wear size 6.5 shoe
Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care?I would rather get a couple "nice" things, or things you spent time/effort on, than a bunch of say, dollar store trinkets. I'm a clutter-phobe, lol...
Do you like pirate-related things?Arrr, aye, matey, me like the pirates
March 15
Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds?
I’m such a wino, lol… Love wine, some beer, rum, vodka, girly-type drinks.
Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay?
Not really into it… but it looks cool
Do you like amurigami dolls?
OMG yes! I have a shop favorited in my Etsy – I’d love these, either from there, or if you can make them yourself!
Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most?
I like zombies… and pirates!
Do you like wearing things in your hair? If so, what kind (snap clips, scrunchie, headband, etc), how big & crazy (lowkey, bigger the better), and colors.
I’m growing my hair out, so hair stuff is great – I don’t have much, because I always kept it short. Ponytails, scrunchies, clips to hold it up, etc…
Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere?
Ears – I have 3 in my L lobe, 2 in my R lobe. My L tragus is pierced, I had to take the R one out, it didn’t heal, after 1 ½ yrs. Maybe I’ll try again soon, lol. My ears are very sensitive though.
Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things)
I love plain chocolate – esp plain M&Ms! I also like fruit, like raisins. Love caramel. Nuts, I’m kind of “eh” about. I like some, but not really peanuts or almonds. Maybe macadamia nuts, etc. Weird stuff, I would definitely try it!
March 14
surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours?
Sleep in! Wake up, make some coffee, and snuggle on the couch with a book and my kitty. Take a long relaxing bath, put on pretty make-up, go shopping, and then out for a nice dinner with my Sweetie. Home to a fire and a movie, and a nice big glass of wine…
Do you have any blogs you regularly read?
Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like?
I like small themed boxes, like a flowery one for florals, or one with pics of sexy women for my “sexy” scents…
Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers?
I’m not very skilled, but would like to try… flowers more than veggies, unless they’re easy ones
Social Networking sites: see my signature
favourite artists or specific paintings?
I loved Jessica Galbreth’s pagan/goddess/fairy stuff. For classic stuff, I like Van Gogh, esp Starry Night. I recently found Lisa Falzon on Etsy, love her stuff. I like Julie Fain, Nene Thomas…
March 13
how about mix CDs?
Sure, just make me a list, so I know what I'm listening to!
Hey, how do folks feel about little e-goodies, like links to stuff your witchee likes? (articles online, pix, fic, etc)
Yes, that would be awesome!
Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate?
Caramel & Chocolate Creme are my faves. I like dark chocolate too though!
Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection?
I actually have a set that was my dad's, so I think I'm set there. If I think of anything, I'll let you know though...
candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay?
either/both! I have 2 Scentsy warmers, as well as tart warmers, and tons of candle holders. I'm a Partylite regular, lol
Get your music player, what are the first 13 songs on Random?
Astrological charts and interpretation/ reports?

So how does everyone feel about receiving ebooks?
I have a kindle, I love ebooks
March 11
Would you rather have HUGE list of things your witchee wants to try or just a highlight list?
How about a huge wishlist, with stars by your most wanted?
March 10
Baked Goods? Yea Nay?
Yea! I'm dieting, like usual, but life is too short to not eat some yummies, right?
If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle?
of course!
If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW (Not that any of you will make any bpal orders until SW is over, because you do NOT want to mess up any plans your witch might have!) What would you order (from lab, forum, DD, TradingPost, etc)
I have decants coming of BPTP stuff, I'm pretty sure I'll want Celeste. And Glowing Vulva Bath Oil.
What level of nudity are you fine with on items? Ex: none, tasteful, erotica
Any!
I know the ?airre asked about gently used books and if you like garage sales, but would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale?
Sure, I love garage sales and thrift stores. Just no shoes please, that squicks me out a little (not that I think you'd buy me shoes, lol)
Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out?
Sure, I'm trying to cook more, so that would be great
Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk?
OMG yes! I love tea (green, black, herbal) and coffee (love flavored, except for hazelnut)
Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?)
Yes, please! nuts, trail mix, dried fruit...
