This is where I'll post answers to Switch Witch questions...

 

Preface: So many thanks for taking the time and effort to read this! While this page contains many specifications, ultimately it's the thought that counts and I will be deeply grateful for whatever it might please you to send my way.

 

MY SWITCH WHICH ?AIRE (slightly updated version)

 

Basic Info

Pets: 3 cats, Saadya, Razi, and Lilleput ("Lilly"), all male.

Children: Nope and never.

Religious orientation: unaffiliated pagan.

Favorite Holiday: Yule.

Occupation/Major in school: I teach philosophy at a university and write fiction.

Living arrangement: I live in a house with my husband (& cats).

Livejournal/Blog/Website: I don’t currently have one.

Organizations/Causes/Activities: I practice Iyengar yoga and am vegan for ethical reasons (I donate to Farm Sanctuary), other than that I don’t easily affiliate with any organized groups that I can think of.

 

BPAL

Favorite BPAL oils:

Anne Bonny, Banshee Beat, Banded Sea Snake, Mme. Moriarty, The Butterfly, Arachne of Lydia, The Coiled Serpent, Elephantine Colossus, Tree of Life, Philosopher in Meditation, Snake Oil, No. 93 Engine, Eat Me, this list is ever shifting & expanding.

Favorite notes:

patchouli, frankincense, golden amber, vanilla/tonka, honey, beeswax, myrrh, cake, tobacco, clove, moss, cedar, cake, red/black currant, plum, sandalwood, cedar, red musk, mandarin and bitter orange notes like bergamot or petitgrain.

Favorite non-BPAL perfumes:

I don’t wear non-BPAL perfume.

Least favorite notes:

Florals aren't really my thing, I often dislike vetiver, I usually can't wear leather, milk/cream, fig, blackberry, pomegranate. Fruits and florals are generally risky unless combined with something resinous/smoky/dark/dry. Also: NO NEROLI EVER please.

Least favorite non-BPAL perfumes:

Don't have any.

If Beth made a custom blend for you, what would the notes be, and what would you want the label art to look like?

Hmm… patchouli, clove, black vanilla, and black currant? Like a cross between Banshee Beat and Arachne of Lydia. Something simple and dark, with a scent that was difficult to place. The label would have on it something obscure and mysterious, like a magical or alchemical symbol.

 

Clothing & Jewelry

Hair type:

Long (mid-back), blonde-ish (natural color), straight-ish (depending on how it’s dried), fine with a tendency to go flat.

Skin Type:

Fair, sensitive, combination skin.

Allergies (specifically B&B related):

None that I know of.

Other things to avoid:

Synthetic chemicals (SLS, parabens, etc.) make me break out. I usually go with ‘simpler is better.’

Tub, shower or both?

Tub! I love long, hot, luxurious, good-smelling baths. But sometimes I’ll shower if I’m in a hurry.

Favorite bath & beauty products:

I love scented bath oils & essential oils (either pleasurey-perfumey or aromatherapeutic, depending on my mood), bath salts, salt or sugar scrubs, scented soaps (BPTP and other small/indie/local companies), minimalist balms and oils like coconut and argan oil, lately I’m experimenting with organic (-ish) dry shampoos.

Clothing Style/Fave garments:

Casual-comfy-loungy while at home, like Alternative Apparel tees and yoga/sweatpants. For work, J-Crew-y (classic, simple, polished, pencil skirts and drapey cardigans) with a twist (shades of goth, punk, motorcycle, vintage, or hippie). I love scarves, linen, silk, or woolen, woven or knit, patterns and plaids. I also like handknits. I lust after expensive vegan footwear (OlsenHaus is my favorite brand), and occasionally wear heels but mostly flats (I'm kind of tall).

Favorite clothing colors/colors to wear:

Neutrals (black, greys, tans, browns, navy) with occasional flashes of saturated bright colors (blood red, deep magenta, forest green, marine blue, teal, mustard or yellow ochre). I like brightly colored or (tastefully done) animal-print accessories for mixing and matching. I don't really wear pastels or white.

Type(s) of jewelry worn:

Most of the time just my wedding/engagement ring, but I sometimes wear necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. When I wear jewelry it’s usually simple or minimalist… but I’m totally into experimenting with bolder jewelry and accessories in interesting or unexpected shapes and textures.

Ring/wrist/collar size:

Ring size 4-7, depending on the finger (ring finger is 4.75). I'm not sure about my wrist size, I usually go to the smallest notch for women's watches...

Jewelry - gold or silver?

Either one, but I tend toward gold (I also like distressed or blackened silver and brass).

Do you have any allergies to metal?

No.

Favorite gemstones:

Anything with a deep/brilliant hue or earthy striations, hematite, moonstone, jade, quartz.

Sock/Shoe Size:

8 to 8.5 (39 EU).

 

Lifestyle

Style/home decoration style:

Velvet, steam punk/industrial, occasionally art nouveau, turn-of-the-century or exotica antiques in the front of the house. And brightly-colored minimalist mid-century modern in the back. (I like both interior decorating styles and have trouble choosing between them---though to be honest, the mid-mod rooms are increasingly encroached upon by the eclectic vibe. ) In general, I like quirky things in my living space, where you look at it and can't tell where it came from. I love decorations that have to do with nature, or any kind of animals, including mythical or totem animals--like cobra-shaped candelabra, little sculptures of scarabs or spiders, Ancient Grecian or Egyptian relics, African tribal, archeological artifacts, fossils, anything old, textured, with historical or spiritual/ritual associations. I’m fascinated by 18th century science, I especially like vitalism and artistic works inspired by it (for example the drawings of Ernst Haeckel), also by what 19th century imperialist cultures thought of as exotic, any kinds of items that relate to these things. I'm always looking for antiques/curiosities to set on the mantle or hang on the wall.

Favorite decorating colors:

I love juxtaposing bright, rich, or deep colors with darker and muted neutrals, wood grain, rock-textures, and industrial metals. In general I like clever contrasty decor--for example, pairing a neon color yarn to make a traditionally crocheted lace doily.

Things you collect:

Other than BPAL, old books, including old technical manuals and steampunk or Victorian-era fiction. Also antique watchworks or other mechanisms, anything that could be put on display on a coffee table or mantle as a curiosity. Tarot cards/decks.

Favorite music:

I tend to like artists rather than genres--I love love love Kate Bush and Suzanne Vega, I really like Cocteau Twins, Siouxie and the Banshees, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave… I have a special fondness for Freddie Mercury (of Queen). I mostly like dark and ethereal, atmospheric shoegazey, or poetic songwritery type stuff.

Least favorite music:

Contemporary country, rap, hip-hop.

Vegetarian/Vegan?: (Please be as specific as possible to reduce confusion!)

I eat a vegan diet (no meat, fish, eggs, dairy, butter, whey, casein, etc.) with the exception that I *do* eat (and love) honey. I *do not* wear leather, but I *do* wear, and use, wool and silk.

Other food restrictions:

None that I can think of, I tend toward what I think of as “healthy” or “whole foods,” but at the same time I love (vegan) baking and have a ginormous sweet tooth.

Favorite flavors:

Chocolate, peanut butter, coconut, coffee, hazelnut, caramel, lemon, strawberry, raspberry, hm I love pretty much all flavors, as long as they’re natural flavors, and especially if they’re flavored with the real thing (for example I love banana bread, but dislike most banana candies). I don’t care for artificially flavored foods.

Favorite foods/drinks:

I love chocolate and nuts, all kinds of baked goods especially ones involving peanut butter, chocolate, and/or coconut. I like sour gummy candies in moderate amounts! I also love heirloom and Native American varieties of dried beans. I drink coffee everyday, and tea most afternoons, I like trying all kinds of coffee and tea including black, oolong, green, red, white, herbal, etc.--I like flavored teas, but I prefer natural-flavored instead of artificially-flavored teas. I don’t drink soda except for the very occasional high-quality root beer.

Favorite authors/genres:

Favorite fiction authors include Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Mark Twain, of contemporary authors I consistently enjoy Michael Malone, Philip Pullman. I like almost any genre of fiction, as long as the story is engaging and well-written and not too masculinity-centric. I’m very interested in smart women authors. I particularly love immersive, well-written fantasy books, because they seem best able to grab my attention and really absorb me. Currently making my way through GRRM’s Song of Ice and Fire, which I like. Due to my schooling/work, I’ve spent so much time in the past decade reading scholarly or classical texts that I haven’t put enough time/effort into contemporary and fun/light fiction of all kinds, I’m behind everybody else who reads for fun, and I’m currently trying to remedy that… I love an author who can be clever/witty/funny but also serious/profound/poignant in the same sentence. I also love French & English poetry, favorite poets include Baudelaire, John Milton, Gerard Manley Hopkins, W. B. Yeats, Dylan Thomas, Wallace Stevens, Phillip Larkin.

Least favorite authors/genres:

I don’t have particular least favorites, but if an author takes her/himself too seriously, or is too contrived or pretentious (there are exceptions to this!), it’s kind of a warning flag that I won’t love their work.

Books/authors you'd like to read, but haven't yet:

I’m a bit curious about H. P. Lovecraft, never got around to picking up any of his stories and I wonder if I’d like them. I could also use a nice Edgar Allan Poe volume (have read, but don't own). In general, I’m open to suggestions.

How do you feel about receiving gently used books as gifts?

I’d like that! I prefer used books over new, as long as they're not underlined or highlighted.

Favorite stores (including clothing stores):

I prefer to stay away from corporate giants, but I rely on Whole Foods and Whole Body for staples. I love browsing local antique stores looking for funky/weird/quirky/exotic/curious stuff, including the book section of antique stores, and also used bookstores.

Favorite online stores (including B&B stores):

Other than BPAL?.. Amazon for pretty much everything, J. Crew for work clothes, Endless for shoes… I like browsing etsy for handmade and antique or vintage items. I prefer buying from people rather than companies, and in most cases I prefer simple/natural/handmade over complicated/artificial. I like old, weird things, and don’t mind ‘used’ at all, but I don’t have any particular people/stores that I frequent...

Magazines you subscribe to:

None.

Magazines you like, but don't subscribe to:

None.. I’m not a big magazine reader.

Favorite movies:

Parody comedies like The Princess Bride, This Is Spinal Tap, MacGruber, silly stuff that makes me laugh no matter how foul my mood. I also like movies that are nostalgic or comforting like Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal (The Princess Bride scratches this itch too), random cheezy 90's movies that remind me of being an angsty teenager, Miyazaki films like Princess Mononoke, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Ponyo. I like BBC-style adaptations of English literature (Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, etc.). I’m not a huge horror/gorey movie person, if I watch too much scary stuff I get anxious and can’t sleep at night. But I enjoy good psychological horror every now and again.

Favorite TV show(s):

I love, and love to talk in-depth about, Survivor. I also love HBO’s Game of Thrones, I like the TV show Community, and My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic, My So-Called Life (and also Huge), The Colbert Report. I’m a fan of Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, Dollhouse), although I think I have a bit of Whedonverse fatigue.

Hobbies/crafts done:

I knit and spin yarn (my Ravelry handle is bizbis, if you’d like to see things I’ve made). I prefer to work with (and wear) non-synthetic fibers (wool, silk, etc.).

 

Wishlists

*Please note I do not expect to receive anything from my wishlists, they are mainly to give an idea of my tastes.*

BPAL Wish List (including SW/SF Help): here

Other website Wish lists (amazon.com, etc): Amazon, Etsy

 

Random Questions:

- On a scale of 1-5, how organized are you?

Maybe a 4? I’m habitually messy, but lately I’ve been pretty good at keeping the house neat.. except for the kitchen, it's a hopeless mess.

- Where, outside of the U.S. would you love to visit? (if you're international, this can be anywhere)

Ireland, Scotland, Vietnam, Thailand, Athens, Egypt, Ethiopia, New Zealand, Antarctica. There aren’t a lot of places I *wouldn’t* like to visit, but travel is expensive and kind of stresses me out.. In reality I’m a hermit and a homebody, I take my cue from the cats and like to stay comfy in my own famliar territory.

- Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age?

Most would say older. People who know me well say younger. My husband says both.

- What animal do you feel like the most?

I identify most with the Wild Bactrian Camel. I think it would be my spirit animal, if I had one. But I also love bats, owls, and unicorns. And obviously cats.

- Your favorite feature about yourself:

Physically I suppose I like my… eyes? Or my hair, which is longer than I’ve ever had it, and I’m trying to learn to take care of it/style it better, but it makes me feel like a princess.

- Do you live in a neighborhood or in the middle of nowhere?

In a neighborhood. Kind of a quaint old neighborhood.

- If you were a tree, what would you be and why?

A weeping willow, because I think I look similar to one (my hair kind of… does that flowing weeping shape thing), it seems to me like a good tree for a quiet person (I’m pretty quiet, and can be kind of shy/softspoken/introverted), and weeping willows seem so peaceful and breezy to me… but weeping willows can also be sinister (like Old Man Willow from Fellowship of the Ring) and wise, and I like that about them. But sometimes I’m thorny, so I have non-weeping willowy moments where I’m more like a prickly shrubbery.

-Have you ever thought, "oh, I'm going to get myself one of those one of these days" but then never do? List 1 under $10 and 1 over $10.

For a while I’ve wanted a nice beeswax and/or scented candle (or more than one!), which could go for under $10, although it could also be over $10 depending on the quality/size. Also I always mean to buy myself some interesting hair accessories (barettes, combs, pins, headbands, hairsticks, jaws thingies), but I never get around to it--those could also be either under or over $10, depending.

- Has a stranger ever told you that you did something really well? What was it?

Hm yes, baking.

- Do you like garage sales (boot sales)?

Yes but I’m quite picky about what I purchase from them.

- I like to slather my food in …:

I love condiments of all kinds... Hummus, mustard, honey mixed with mustard, ketchup, sriracha, vegan mayonnaise, bbq sauce, vinegars of all kinds, kimchi, fancy salts, nutmeg, homemade vegan cheezy sauces, tahini, peanut butter, almond butter, chocolate, Braggs, nutritional yeast… the only (vegan) condiment I can think of that I don’t absolutely love is hot sauce, hot sauce is just OK.

- State fairs or carnivals?

Carnivals. Although in reality I find them a bit disturbing, human beings can be the scariest things in the universe, and carnivals are a visceral reminder of that.

 

Notes (Here's where you can add additional information you'd like your Switch Witch to know!):

 

-I’m quite picky when I choose things for myself, but when it comes to gifts, I value most the thoughtfulness put into it. I love when somebody shares something with me that they themselves love in whatever capacity (anything from a bath/beauty product they think is awesome and that I would like too, to a book/movie/artwork that is close to their heart, or something handmade, etc.).

 

-Also, I love details. Detailed things and just in general, details. I love things that are interesting in a subtle way, where you have to take a closer look to see.

 

-Despite my interest in unicorns and cheezy/nostalgic TV shows and movies, I tend not to go for cutesy home decor/personal accessories. But there are exceptions to every rule…

 

-I have kind of a dark/cynical/pessimistic view of the world, and so I love artwork/literature with dark themes. But I also appreciate levity.

 

-My sun sign is Cancer, Scorpio is my rising sign, and my moon is in Pisces. I have stubborn exoskeletal tendencies, and I'm very emotional. (Oh and also, interested in astrology!)

 

-I enjoy tarot also, I use the Thoth deck (although I think Crowley was pretty much crazy). I’m interested in Hermeticism and alchemical symbolism.

 

 

QUESTIONS FROM THE SWITCH WITCH THREAD...

 

Twitter/LJ/FB?

I have no Twitter and no LJ account. I do have a FB account here. I never use it and don't keep track of anything on it, but I might end up using it to stalk, so... friend away! (just let me know you're from bpal.org.)

 

From the Weenie update, what are you most wanting to try?

I ordered a crazyton of decants and the bottles I was already sure of, so I'm set on Weenies for now. I basically wanted to try any Weenie that seems not-too-floral, and is resiny, smoky, woodsy, or foody.

 

Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?

It's the sort of thing I don't often buy for myself, but would enjoy receiving as a gift. I have no brand preference, as I don't use it enough to have an expert opinion. Colorwise I'd probably go for dark colors (like in the black/almost black range, including dark browns, dark blues, etc.) and then deep bloody reds, and I'd totally have fun playing with other quirky neutrals, or even greyed-out colors or jewel tones.

 

Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?

Ha yes, count me in with people who could come up with a ton of these...

 

Nature loves to hide. (A Heracleitus fragment)

 

From my sig, Pantodapais memigme--na chroiaisin, a Sappho fragment that means something like shot with a thousand hues or in a million mixed hues.

 

Another Sappho fragment - Eros deute m'o lusimeles donei, / glukupikron amachanon orpeton, translated by Anne Carson - Eros once again limb-loosener whirls me / sweetbitter, impossible to fight off, creature stealing up. (I love Anne Carson's translations of and books on Sappho, and I don't actually own any, so...)

 

Any number of lyrics from Bob Dylan songs..

- I wanna be with you in paradise / And it seems so unfair / I can't go to paradise no more / I killed a man back there from "Spirit on the Water".

- The entire song "Ain't Talkin'" is too amazing to extract a single lyric..

- The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building burned / I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned / Slowly into autumn. from "Idiot Wind" (that whole song is one of my favorites, esp. the bootleg version.)

 

"Fern

" by Dylan Thomas is perhaps my favorite poem I've ever encountered, extra especially the following bits:

it was air / And playing, lovely and watery / And fire green as grass;

it was all / Shining, it was Adam and maiden, / The sky gathered again / And the sun grew round that very day. And

My wishes raced through the house high hay / And nothing I cared, at my sky blue trades, that time allows / In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs / Before the children green and golden / Follow him out of grace.

And the last three lines of that poem slay me dead.

 

Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, tart, etc.), throw...

I could go either for an unscented rustic kind of beeswax candle, or I'd love a scented candle, but I *am* a bit picky about scents... the Yankee Candle store gives me a headache, so I've never even tried YC and would steer away from anything strong in that way. Simpler and less synthetic/artificial is better for me in general, I'd go for similar scents as are in my favored notes esp. patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood. I can always use tealights, otherwise pillars or jars would be best. I've never used tarts before & don't have a melty thinger.

 

Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?

I do. I knit, but there are so many things I never get around to knitting for myself because I always knit them as gifts. Especially scarves, cowls, fingerless gloves, hats... I love me some handknit accessories! In undyed wool, neutrals, tweeds, bright or deep hues. Also... I love hand-dyed yarns (semi-solids, mostly).

 

What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying?

Aureus, Cathedral, Fenris Wolf, Sin... My GC bottle stash hasn't caught up to my GC wishlist yet.

 

Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics?

Absolutely! Bread or savory baked goods, spiced nuts or seeds, dehydrated snacks, homemade granola, canned/jarred things, vegetables, pickles, relishes, chutneys, jams. (As long as it's vegan, I'll probably like it.)

 

Yo, yarnies! Do you do Ravelry?

I'm bizbis on Ravelry. ("bizbis" is how I pronounced my name when I was little.)

 

Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers?

No. I'll try to work on that though and update with a link...

 

PC or Mac?

Mac.

 

What is your favorite animal?

I'd still have to say the Wild Bactrian Camel. Also bats and owls and cats. But also whales, especially humpback whales... they're so awe-inspiring and wonderful. Oh, and I have a soft spot for pigs too. I like lots of animals.

 

What are you going to be for Halloween?

I don't know yet, I'm dreadfully uncreative for Halloween! I'll probably dress up as a witch, I like witches. Or as Janet for a Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screening.

 

If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.)

A camel (a Wild Bactrian one of course!) or an owl. Or maybe a curvaceous fern leaf of some sort, I like fern imagery. Or an octopus. I'd probably go for either a pendant or wall art.

 

How do you feel about nick-knacks?

I like certain kinds (antique, vintage, curio, steampunk, industrial, natural science-y, ethnic, exotic, etc), but nothing plastic or mass-produced, and it should be heavy enough so that kitties wouldn't knock it over.

 

What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?

Observing seasonal holidays (solstices, equinoxes) but in informal ways, sitting around the wood-burning stove during the cold season, drinking hot toddies. Sitting on the screened porch when it's temperate, doing Yules-y things at Yules like decorating a tree and exchanging secret gifts. Lots of homey habits to go with the changing year. Oh, and we adopt a turkey every Thanksgiving from Farm Sanctuary, and the turkey's picture sits on the table when we eat dinner. That one's really special to me.

 

Do you like going to the movies?

Not so much, I prefer to watch movies at home for $ and coziness reasons.

 

What are your favorite restaurants?

There aren't many in my part of the country that can offer up a very good vegan meal... DH and I like a local Ethiopian restaurant, as well as a local vegetarian Indian restaurant.

 

Do you play any video games?

Not really, although I enjoy rpg's when I have/take the time to get immersed in/addicted to them. But I kind of have an addictive personality, I got too addicted to WoW at one point, so I tend to avoid.

 

Do you like any anime?

I like many of Hayao Miyazaki's films, but I don't avidly follow less mainstream anime.

 

Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for?

No, so far I haven't crossed over and still read regular old paper/cardboard books. Also, no iPad (not even a cellphone! yes I can be somewhat of a luddite )

 

How much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be?

I like jewelry well enough, but a shit ton might be overdoing it for me, as I don't wear very much of it very often.

 

How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?

Veganizing recipes is something it's taken me and my husband a while to learn how to really do well (there are certain tricks to upping the umami etc.), and vegan baking is a whole nother kind of chemistry (some recipes being easier to adapt than others). So while I'd love to get a recipe for a favorite food, I wouldn't really expect an omni witch to go to the trouble of tailoring.

 

Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above?

Not really, I have BPAL storage taken care of.

 

Muppets: yea or nay?

Yea to Jim Henson studios, for the most part. I especially like muppets when they're being dark or weird or subversive or funny... But I prefer watching them on TV rather than owning muppet paraphernalia. And from a feminist perspective, I resent the character of Miss Piggy.

 

Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?

I appreciate the humor of Cavin and Hobbes and The Far Side, and I like A Charlie Brown Christmas. But in general I'm not a follower of comic strips.

 

Favorite Mythological Creature?

Unicorns. And Typhon. I love mythological creatures in general, monstrous ones and gentle ones alike.

 

Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers?

Yes and I don't have nearly enough of them. I probably wouldn't get a lot of use out of those hair flowers though, they're a bit attention-grabby for me to wear to work. For hair accessories I'd prefer understated, modern, or folksy/natural in a clean/minimalist way.

 

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?

Not so much. I like the idea of it, and the smell of incenses, but I don't really like the smokey delivery.

 

Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?

I *thought* I was a Harry Potter fan, until I read the Pottermore thread and realized I didn't know what a HP fan was. I do like Harry Potter, the books more than the movies. If I were to be sorted, it's hard to say... I'd most likely be Gryffindor. Or Ravenclaw. Probably Gryffindor, if I'm being honest with myself.

 

If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?

Amazon. A yarn store might be cool, either Jimmy Beans Wool, Webs (yarn.com) or Eat Sleep Knit, or some place like that. Sephora.

 

Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?

Leda and the swan. Theseus and the Minotaur. Other stories about monstrous offsprings of the human and the divine.

 

If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture!

I don't RP.

 

If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality!

Plato. I'd want to talk to him though, not just see him.

 

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?

To make it a little brighter? I put on Banshee Beat. For heavier comfort needs, I make peanut butter blondies to eat with (soy) vanilla ice cream, and sit myself down in front of endless episodes of past seasons of Survivor. TV knitting for after I'm done eating, and then a foot massage from DH completes that scenario. -

 

What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?

The only comic books I've read are Joss Whedon ones (Fray and Buffy Season 8), which I enjoyed. I'd be interested in trying some good graphic novels, especially classics like Maus, Watchmen, From Hell, etc.

 

Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?

I play the piano, although I'm out of practice. I wish I practiced more consistently. I also like to sing, but in no official capacity. Just goofing off around the house I sing opera (Mozart is my favorite but also Bizet) and make up songs. I secretly aspire to write an opera, about being at a shopping mall during the holiday season. It would be all postmodern and atonal and, if successful, rather horrific and surreal. DH says I should try to write more earnest songs, and make an album, so maybe I'll try that one of these days.

 

Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?

I plant vegetables at the beginning of each growing season but am horrible at keeping up with the weeds! Tomatoes, okra, peppers, and squash so far have been our most successful crop. I'm not an awesome gardener by any stretch, but I don't really need gardening supplies.

 

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?

I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. It probably depends on what fancy strikes me... I could be swayed in any direction. Unfortunately, not too many kids seem to trick-or-treat at our house, so if we decorate it'll just be for me and DH.

 

Do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?

A Hugieia pentagram like this. Also the Thoth deck's princess of wands has been meaningful, ever since my Saturn return.

 

Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/bat etc?

Sure! Any and all adoption or donation programs for animals or plants in need.

 

What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?

I try not to get obsessed with other people, especially ones I don't know in real life. I'm probably slightly obsessed with Plato, and also Sappho. (Does it count if they're long dead?) Bob Dylan maybe, although I have a feeling he puts the best of himself in his songs, so I don't feel the need to know him personally. That goes for Plato too, actually.

 

Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?

I've never tried anything from Villainness before! But I'd love to try either the soaps or the little candles. And honestly, any of the Bad Apple scents sound nice. (As long as they're not too flowery, and the quality is high, I'm generally less picky about soap/candle scents than I am with perfumes...)

 

If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat?

My 3 cats would appreciate either treats or a toy. We feed them a grainfree & mostly raw diet, but sometimes make exceptions for treats, but nothing with artificial flavoring or a ton of preservatives please. Also, they love catnip toys, kitty teases & cat dancers of all sorts.

 

What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays?

Storyville, Pinched With Four Aces, Elf v4--all ones I haven't tried ever (I didn't put East African Black Patchouli SN because that's laughable).

 

Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls?

Anything by Odilon Redon, print or poster. I have a lot of wall space so no size restrictions.

 

If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase?

I am not a huge user of makeup, partially because I'm a timid purchaser of it. I'm interested in experimenting more with lip and eye colors. I prefer natural/organic/mineral-based and my two current preferred brands are Bare Escentuals and Korres. I'm very fair with a neutral skin tone and blue-grey eyes. I've always wanted to try Tarte lip stains (probably matte, but I could go for any version).

 

Questions: Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?

Both and yes. Unground coffee beans would be preferred, as I grind my own.

 

Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc)

No, not really. But I would absolutely love to receive a mixed CD of songs that my Witch likes and wants to share.

 

Are you going away for any part of this round?

Yes. I will be leaving town between Oct. 18-23. I'm going into the woods for a yoga retreat. Somebody will be checking my mail & bringing in packages while I'm away, but I shan't have access to internet. (lol "shan't")

 

If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir?

Sure! As long as it isn't plastic, please.

 

Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"?

I enjoy light hiking. In the past I've really enjoyed camping, but at the moment we don't have the necessary equipment. My favored form of exercise is yoga, although my practice is, in theory, primarily spiritual in its orientation.

 

Any witchees with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?

I'm too spur-of-the-moment in my pattern decisions to make good use of a pattern given as a gift, so no thanks.

 

Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?

I love Steven Sondheim's musicals. I strongly dislike those of Andrew Lloyd Weber. I also deeply love classical opera, especially Mozart. There was a year or so when I was obsessed with Wagnerian opera, in particular Tristan und Isolde, but that was a sickness and I have mostly recovered from it.

 

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific!

I prefer to limit my thrifted clothing to outerwear or vintage wool skirts, things that aren't typically worn next to the skin. Or big (mens, usually) wool sweaters, for salvaging and reusing the yarn. I'm fine with thrifted books, decorative house stuff, etc.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?

No.

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

I maybe wouldn't puke, but no thanks.

 

What are your favorite types of Halloween candy?

I stay away from Halloween candy, except for the fancy, yuppified "all natural" Halloween candy I get from Whole Foods, which is typically on deep discount by Halloween day. If I'm going to eat sugar, I want to get the best bang for my caloric buck. (Also, I have no clue which nestle or hersheys candies are vegan, so I stay away from them altogether.)

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.

I like soap, creamy cold-pressed soap, as moisturizing as I can find it, and made with as natural/simple ingredients as possible. I'm leery of florescent or over-the-top brightly colored soaps, I prefer mine in more natural-looking shades. At the moment I mostly use this patchouli-scented soap from a tiny local company (probably owned by some TN hippies--there are a lot of hippies around here) whose name I don't recall. I would love to have some more complex or luxuriously scented soaps, I have been eyeing Snake Oil Soap for a while now, or Villainess soaps (Byzantium, Asphyxiate, Canaan, Dulces en Fuego, Jai Mahal, Killer Beez, so many) look divine. I'd tend to go somewhere in the earthy-resiny-spicy-vanilla-foody spectrum of scents. But then I'm not picky about soap scents, as long as it's not too floral or candy-fruity. If it's too "bright" a scent for me to use in a relaxing bath, then I'll use it in the shower. Or in the kitchen.

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?

Obviously dark, since it's gotta be vegan. Beyond that I love it most ways, especially with nuts, peanut butter, caramel, coffee, or sea salt. I love salty sweet things.

 

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?

No, thanks.

 

Anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?

No thanks.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!

I love sea salt caramels (as long as it's vegan).

 

Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?

Sure, I love scarves and wraps! I like natural fibers like wool, silk, linen, hemp, etc. And neutral, bright or deep colors, saturated jewel tones. Or I'd go for anything with a bohemian vibe. I'm not big on flowery prints or patterns, but I like abstract, animal, Native American or African tribal, gothic, or any other sorts of exotic designs. Or anything symbolic.

 

Does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?

I suppose so. I'd gravitate toward larger ones (like, larger than a fist) that would make interesting display pieces.

 

Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?

No, thanks.

 

Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?

No.

 

Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?

No, thanks.

 

If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now?

No children.

 

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you?http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)

I would totally use & love one of the hobo-shaped bags, with a longer shoulder-strap handle (the chevron one I think is kind of like this?), my personal tastes would tend toward using a shade(s) of undyed wool (like Eco wool or something), aiming more for a minimalist or bohemian vibe than an overtly craftsy one.

 

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?

I think I answered this somewhat in the ?aire. Not big on florals, but I dig tribal, exotic, animal-print, um sometimes retro mid century modern sort of stuff. It also kind of depends on whether it's for clothes or home decor.

 

Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?

Sure! I love hand-thrown pottery and ceramics, I treasure and use over and over again hand-thrown mugs and bowls that I've received as gifts in the past. Factory-made mugs with words, logos, or phrases on them aren't my style.

 

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?

Any and all would be fine with me. I find loose or compressed tea is usually of higher quality, and it seems more special for whatever reason.

 

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?

I'm utilitarian when it comes to kitchen towels. I can always use more, but I'd rather they work well than that they look pretty.

 

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?

It took me a while to think of the last time I dressed up fancy. I prefer simple formal wear, minimalist black dresses, understated and elegant is (at least) the goal.

 

Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc)

I enjoy puzzles, but not really sudoku or crossword puzzles. Jigsaws are nice for relaxing, especially with family during the holidays. Otherwise I like math and geometry puzzles, creativity and problem-solving puzzles, strategy games that involve puzzles, etc. When DH plays video games we often switch off, he'll do the more fightery reflex parts, and I'll do the puzzley bits. (Is that grossly stereotypical of us??)

 

Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?

Everytime I go back to this question it makes me laugh out loud. The short answer is "no," but since that feels like cheating, I hope it's slightly less cheatery to borrow from Basho: "I regret picking / and not picking / violets"

 

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?

No, thanks.

 

What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.)

I love fudge and brownies! (vegan please.) I live in a warm place. I don't know if fudge would or wouldn't melt.

 

Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?

I love mochi too.

 

 

Anything from the BPTP update?

I'll update my wishlist.

 

Does anyone like kimchi?

Yesss! If there's a way to ship it, at least..

 

Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?

I don't think so.

 

You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?

BPAL: Bottles of every Halloweenie and Pickman's Gallery blend that doesn't contain more than 1 or 2 floral notes, and also a bottle of Le Lethe, plus bottles of Cathedral, Aureus, Fenris Wolf, The Coiled Serpent, O, and Sin. BPTP: One of each Halloweenie, one of each hair gloss excluding the fig & white sandalwood one.

 

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?

No, thank you.

 

Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes

Not a sports person.

 

How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?

I don't need any at the moment.

 

Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?

No glitter, thank you!

 

Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?

I'll just include all original written works in this question. As long as it's in paper form (not electronic), sure.

 

How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in?

I dislike stuffed animals in general. I'm basically the Grinch!

 

How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels?

I don't label my bottles with stickers, so no thank you.

 

When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most?

Emergen-C, miso soup, a wool blanket, mindless TV preferably of the cartoony variety.

 

What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!)

Getting away from it all in a cedar cabin in the woods... while still having somebody skilled in the art of vegan cookery fix 3 meals a day for me and DH.

 

What do you really NOT want?

Artificial flavors, artificial colors, anything tested on animals, anything containing animal flesh or products (other than honey), anything containing SLS or parabens, unnecessary plastic...

 

Witchee; interested in anything from Lush?

I'm inclined to prefer other brands (due to artificial colors & SLS).

 

Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?

I don't blog.

 

Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark?

Sure, the only problem is that I always loose bookmarks!

 

do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? (note - I dont follow the recipe exactly...mine have more choc/pb yumminess)

Sure! Puppy chow is one of my guilty pleasures, I make a batch every Yule. (However it can be tricky to source vegan choc. chips and powdered sugar, and I don't know the status of name-brand chex.. sorry if I'm high maintenance )

 

How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also.

I didn't know what Groupon was so I googled it and I'm pretty sure no thanks.

 

Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific?

Cook at home! Cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like would all be appreciated! I think these sorts of things can be found in my amazon wishlist.

 

How do you feel about maple syrup?

LOVE the real stuff.

 

How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever?(Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm)

I think they'd take too much space in my already-crowded purse.

 

What about team Sugar Skull????? Meaning do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs?

Sure!.. But I'm afraid they might not be vegan? I do like sugar skull designs, though.

 

I have a few things that I do every Switch Witch round, would you find that boring and unoriginal?

Nope! That's cool!

 

Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?

There were years when I loved the original Star Wars trilogy. Not so much anymore, though.

 

Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer.

No, thanks.

 

Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work.

I don't check personal emails at work, so no need for a warning... But I'm a bit leery of racy ecards?

 

Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)

I like Doctor Who, but I haven't kept up with the most recent seasons... (sorry!)

 

I have a question. I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package?

Hm, they should probably go to somebody else who will really cherish them, so no thanks!

 

anyone love Buffy/Angel?

I went through a HUGE phase.. but now I just like, not love.

 

Witchee: How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?

I LOVE gummies, especially sour ones, and have missed them since going vegan. If my witch could track down vegan versions of any variety of candies, that would be awesome.

 

Witchee: How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?

I use protective covering on my laptop that would prevent me from using it, so no thanks.

 

Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney?

Creepy but not gorey, the original dark and weird Grimm fairytales for me.

 

Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?

My ears are pierced, but now that I think of it, I don't really enjoy wearing earrings. They feel weird. So I don't think so.

 

How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?

I'd love a vegan version.

 

Who here likes to receive cosmetic, skin care, perfume samples (of the sephora sort-not just BPAL), makeup brushes etc etc.

I'm not big on cosmetic samples, other than BPAL. Unless it's from a select few brands (without SLS, parabens, etc.), and it's ok for sensitive skin, I probably wouldn't use it from fear of a bad skin reaction.

 

Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?

No, thank you.

 

Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?

I'm "meh" about receiving postcards. I'd be willing to nacho witch some postcards, though I'm not going anywhere flashy.

 

Team Tofu?

Yes AND Team Tempeh.

 

Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?

Not that I know of.

 

Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?

I like it ok but not a big fan.

 

Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?

I can't think of anything. I like photography in theory (and dabble in it some), but in practice it's not really my decorating style. Unless it's old-timey photos in a multimedia piece or something, that could work. *thinking outloud*

 

Dear Witchees, are you interested in sample boxes such as The Little Black Box or Sweet Diva boxes?

Sample boxes just seem a little gimmicky for me. But if you can find something that you think I'll like based on my q's, then go for it.

 

Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?

I wear t-shirts around the house and to bed and to exercise in. I prefer tissue tees and the like, with scoop, wide, or v-necks, in 100% cotton. I could think of any number of designs... Symbols or iconic deity stuff, something ancient Egyptian would be really cool. I prefer not to wear slogans or words. I wear a size S typically, although it really depends on the maker and style (American Apparel and Alternative Apparel I go for M instead).

 

How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....

As long as it's not too artificial, I love pumpkin scented stuff.

 

Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?

I don't like to wear words, so they're not really my style.

 

If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from.

Nothing I can think of in particular... Something folksy, indigenous, or otherwise historical/local would be cool.

 

if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).

I have a macbook pro 15" and also a mac mini hooked up to the tv with wireless keyboard and mouse... but I'm not really interested in apple-related paraphernalia, I don't think. I'm pretty minimalist in my tech deco desires, I try to let the electronics disappear into the background so I can pretend they don't exist..

 

ALSO- who here is on TEAM SOCKS??

SOCK PREFERENCES?

Sure! Especially now that the weather's cooling down, I'm getting in the mood for socks... warm woolen ones, good for wearing in boots or just around the house are always nice. I've always failed at handknitting myself socks (my tension always changes from the first to the second, and I'm intimidated by 2-at-a-time socks), so that would be awesome if my witch is into that.

 

Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?

Sure! I haven't tried them before, for my practice I might want a narrower under-foot area, for more foot-to-mat contact. Or just legwarmers might be an interesting choice, for my witch's information I have longish rather skinny calves.

 

Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?

Sure!

 

what strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?

Gee, um... I can't think of anything.

 

How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you?

Sure! I'd prefer 3 free. For wearing on fingernails my preferences are pretty boring (see above q), but for toes I could go for all kinds of glittery fun, I suppose...

 

Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way?

I love lip balm and can always use more. I go for the natural stuff.

 

Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?

No, thanks. I have all the art supplies I need.

 

For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint itself?

No, thanks.

 

How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)

No, thanks.

 

How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?

Not big on them.. Again, I'm super picky about wearing words.

 

If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up?

Something boring and practical that I was out of... mouthwash, maybe, at the moment.

 

Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature?

Sure! As I've said elsewhere, if it's vegan, I'll probably like love it.

 

Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract?

Any and all could work, depending on the style. But as I said above, my decorating style lends itself more to surreal or multimedia-ized photographs than to realism... maybe sepia?

 

oh WITCHEE (not that i have you yet) would you be interested in something like this?

https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works

It looks cute, but I don't need any more pencils/notebooks/etc.

 

I may be going to the Chiles & Frijoles Festival this weekend. I'm not really sure what all I'll find (doesn't that sound promising ), but I'm guessing lots of chiles and pinto beans and related things. Interested?

YES PLZ to chiles and pinto beans and any & all related things.

 

Ok, super cute or what? http://myfurrybones....34&cat=1&page=3

I honestly can't decide.

 

Amigurumi, yes or no?

Quirky amigurumi works for me...

 

What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!

At the moment I'm a little obsessed with Odilon Redon, e.g. "Saint John," the painting in my avatar.

 

If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?

Either something kind of psychoanalysis/archetypey/surreal or something completely abstract, I think. It would depend on the style of the painter.

 

1. Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea - Earl Gray, Chai, Jasmine Green Tea (runner up, peppermint tisane)

 

2. Name your 3 favorite scents for candles - I don't really have 3 favorites. At the moment I'm craving something decadently foody... Or something fall-inspired.

 

Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes?

Sure, I could go for that.

 

Do you like Legos? Espe
