Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?

No thank you, both from a political perspective and because it has patchouli.

 

Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try?

Gingermilk! Do want the Gingermilk! Same for the Lavender and Pumpkin.

 

Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?

CocoaPink sounds very interesting.

 

Is there anything you would like from Sephora?

I like eyeliner of all colors (the Urban Decay 24/7 line has some good stuff), I like very glittery lipgloss and blush. NARS has some good stuff.

 

Describe your sense of humor.

Um, let's try some pictures instead.

A snail.

A bee.

A road sign.

A game of croquet

A cartoon

 

How do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?

I like hemp jewelry and I like the smell.

 

Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could?

Not really.

 

Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?)

Nope, disposable ones have way too many uses.

 

You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?

Socks! Like . . . . thigh-high fishnets or something. Or little black footies.

A tarot deck/rune set/something for divination.

A cute set of knitting stitch markers. Bees, or sheep or pumpkins or something similarly silly.

 

Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?

I love candy scents, but dirt notes make me very dubious. I wouldn't mind sniffing it.

 

Would you like anything from this particular Haunt update?

I'm not familiar with Haunt, so I don't know if the scents I listed are from the update or not. (And I had to wander through several different sites to find these scents, so I could be terribly confused.)

 

Winchester

Pumpkin Cake

Coffee Fiend

Cinnamon Girl

Sweet Jane

Roma

 

Any thoughts on the new Villainess update?

Of the current Black Label scents, Birthrite (whipped) is the only one that appeals to me.

 

New Question: Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series?

Not really. I mean, they're nifty, but I wasn't crushed when I missed them.

 

I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that?

I like candy corn - in very, very small quantities. I'd prefer you didn't get me any, as I'd eat a kernel and a half, and then throw the rest out.

 

Question. What kind of bear is best?

Gummy bears, naturally!

 

I have a question- What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?

Leather, monochrome, cross body and study, ideally with several zillion pockets, and large enough to stuff knitting, my book-of-the-moment, my revolver and my makeup into.

 

I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?

I don't really get the appeal, I'm afraid.

 

Do you drink wine?

Nope. The only time I purchased wine was to make chicken marsala.

 

Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork?

I love it dearly, and I have the tarot deck and multiple prints.

 

Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!

Only a tiny bit. At the moment, I'm must more worried about figuring out international shipping and getting the packages to my witchee in time.

 

 

But, who here would LOVE to get Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses, and who would rather not??

I wouldn't mind giving them a try.

 

THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?

Clove Cigarette looks fascinating! (I . . . might be biased, in that my favorite RP character smokes clove cigarettes when she's stressed. Maybe.)

 

Dead Sexy sounds interesting - I dunno how the wood would work, though.

 

It's Banned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?

Honestly, the ones that I think I'd be into, I've already read, but I approve of books in general (and sexy ones in particular!)

 

JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?

Yay for specialty soda! Significantly less-yay for all that sugar. I only drink diet soda, I'm afraid. (Or root beer, for root beer floats, but that's very rare.)

 

Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?

I love Italian and Chinese food like *woah*. Noodles in general, regardless of ethnicity, are a quick way to my heart. Restaurant.com doesn't have any local restaurants that I eat at (and I know for certain that one of the restaurants they *do* have is permanently closed.)

 

Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to?

I haven't see the local art museums. *shifty look* Or the Grand Canyon.

 

What level of contact were you hoping for from your witch?

No preference. I'm just happy I have a witch.

 

What squicks you out?

Um, I hate the dentist, I don't like heights, lotus pods are kinda creepy and um . . . live octopuses/squid are *evil*? I mean, the cute cartoony ones are fine, but the live ones move wrong.

 

What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?

Um . . . I shoot revolvers and knit sweaters with equal enthusiasm?

 

So who else watched Babylon 5?

I don't, but from the videos, Ivanova is *awesome*

 

If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?

As for stripper name, pet name + street name = Kitty Orlando. Which is . . . . workable, I think. I mean Pussy Orlando would be dirtier, but it sounds far too much like one of the weirder Bond Girls.

 

Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?

I'll take the survey. I will. Just, um, not right now.

 

Say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?

I don't understand the question. Judging from some of the in-thead chatter, it has something to do with the Greco-Roman gods. Um . . . I like Athena, on the grounds that she's wise and warlike, and only *occasionally* does horrible things to undeserving people.

 

Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP?

I'm not really familiar with them, but Beyond the Veil, Gianduja, Shrunken Heads, Butterbeer, Pumpkin Juice, and Tasty Tease look like fun. Cat's Eye sounds interesting.

 

Do you prefer a particular Alice in Wonderland illustrator (Tenniel, Rackham, Disney or others) or do you like them all equally?

No preference?

 

Do you like lavender as a flavor as well as a scent? I do! It is quite tasty

I had honey lavender ice cream once and it was really, really nifty.

 

Do you have an Amazon wishlist or do you belong to Goodreads or LibraryThing?

My Amazon wishlist!

 

If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?

I . . . . I . . . *head explodes* That site is so cool! Um, back in the day I had a bar of Frey chocolate that had cinnamon and since then I have been utterly unable to track down that company's candy. So, my first choice would be a bar of milk chocolate, with cinnamon, cardamon and ginger.

 

I . . . I am tempted to create a huuuuuge list of other options, but I will limit myself to two. For grins, dark chocolate with ground coffee, graham teddies, pecan halves and oreos might be interesting. I'm not certain I would like it, but it would be fun to try. Because it would make my inner four-year-old very happy, milk chocolate with mini marshmallows, gummy bears cookie dough, oreos and sprinkles would be awesome. Again, I don't know if I would like it, but I want to try.

 

What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?

Um . . . I like caffeinated stuff? And curry powder. If anyone has spice mixes, they'd be very welcome.

 

Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?

Maple syrup/candy! Knitted goods. Oh, and books on Canadian history, because I know nothing about it.

 

Princess Bride:

Yay, but the book was better

 

What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches?

I have been pondering my answer to this one for a while now. When I was tiny, I was crazy about the Little Mermaid (the book, less so about the movie). Now that I'm less tiny, I'm . . . dubious about a number of the themes. Little Red Riding Hood at least has potential, and this retelling of the story is my favorite: Part I, Part II.

 

Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?

Frey chocolate! And gummies. I love gummies.

 

Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood?

Other than overheat my Hitachi? It's for . . . backpain. Yes. I usually have a bottle of BPAL somewhere on my nightstand, on the grounds that there have been scientific studies, indicating that pleasant scents are associated with a statistically significant decrease in nightmares. I have a black silk kimono that I wear sometimes, as it feels lovely. Sometimes I'll meditate, but that's usually only if I'm very troubled.

 

Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?

Not familiar with that company.

 

Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves?

Hell yeah!

 

It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?

I'd lurch over to the boyfriend's house and demand tribute in the form of pancakes. And then there would be snuggles.

 

How do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?

I'm cool with unethical animal fiber, so the ethical kind is fine to.

 

And, here's a question: Look down. What are you wearing, right now?

Dirty blue jeans and dirty socks. In my defense, I'm stretched out in bed, dozing towards sleep. I am not always such a hopeless slob.

 

What would you think of this (with a matching scarf)?

Scarves are lovely, kerchiefs less so, I'm afraid.

 

What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel, like this?

Very cute, but I would neglect them and they would be sad.

 

Is there anything you like or would like to try from Bath & Body Works?

I like their Yule peppermint stuff and their foaming soaps. I don't know if they still have the scents, but their Pink Grapefruit, White Tea and Ginger, and Vanilla Sugar were yummy.

 

Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?

I like exotic food, and it's really annoying to find around here. Um, jaggery (it's a kind of unrefined sugar), mochi and dango are the ones that come to mind first.

 

What's your favorite kind of pizza?

A square-cut, light cheese, extra sauce pizza with pineapple, bell peppers, onions, olives, roma tomatoes, and mushrooms. (And if I'm lucky, extra mushrooms, pineapple and olives.)

 

*shifty look* I will then eat all the toppings and sauce, leaving the bread behind. Because it tastes better that way.

 

Who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!

That implies that I'm fashionable, and I'm kind of useless in that area. I can post pictures of styles that I like, though I usually fall miserably short. I wear a lot of flared/boot cut blue jeans, fitted t-shirt and turtlenecks. (My office is cold. Really cold.)

Not me, but pretty much how I dress regularly.

 

In the SCA/period clothing, I really like this style.

 

For Japanese-influenced styles.

 

Belly dance.

 

Fetish (Safe for work, really!)

 

'Normal' clothing

1

2 - The one on the right

 

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?

I . . . . really, really not my thing. I mean, forensics and medical pathology, yay, macabre kick-knacks, not so much. (Though plush microbes have a kind of warped adorableness.)

 

I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?

I'm not really familiar with Cocoa Pink, so I spent a bit wandering their website. I rather like their Phobias. Phasmophobia looks like fun, as it's vanilla and I generally approve of any use of the phrase 'glowing marshmallow orbs'. Cucurbitophobia - yay pumpkins! Honestly, the only one of their Phobia set that *doesn't* look good is Coimetrophobia, on the grounds that it has a dirt note. (And on me, dirt notes smell like goddamn dirt, inspiring the strong urge to take a bath.)

 

I put together a huge list of scents that I like, then paired them down to the really interesting ones, but the short version is that it looks like Cocoa Pink does foody scents and I'm *mad* about foody. So, just about anything on that list would work for me. (The only caveats being that patchouli and vetiver invariably smell nasty on me.)

 

Blackberry Mist, Green Tea, Irish Cream Cappuccino, Naughty Pumpkins/Gingerbread, Porridge Pie, Halloween in Dublin

 

What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee?

*shifty look* I feel like such a bad BPAL-er, but I don't really dig coffee. If you have a roast/blend that you're mad about, by all means, send it. A couple of my friends are coffee nuts and I'm willing to share the love.

 

So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question)

I play WoW and WoW-y stuff is always welcome. (I play Alliance and I already have the baby hippogryph and the pandarian monk.)

 

Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?

I'd like to do something creative with the boyfriend, but I have relatives in town, so I have less time for meditation and energy work than I'd like.

 

Question: Do you like tarts? Tealights? Jar candles? Votives?

Jar candles are the best option, on the grounds that candles meeeeeeelt in Arizona and the jar keeps the wax from oozing everywhere. The people I live with have smoke allergies, so I don't get to use the candles all that often.

 

Question: What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?

I like salty - black olives, tortilla chips with salsa, very salty soups, fried rice with lots of soy sauce.

 

Also, sweet with a hint of sour - dried cherries, dried mangos, raspberries, sour gummies.

 

What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?

I love arm-warmers! My Ravelry wishlists has a whole bunch.

These are just cool. I like the flare of this set, and the texture of these.

 

I have a couple of pairs of these (so snuggly!) and these look nifty.

What is your favorite word?

Apenglow, and defenstration and virago.

 

If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?

Not really.

 

Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?

 

Say some pictures mounted on illustration board and coated in a protective sealant?

Sure.

 

Question: Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts!

Honestly, I prefer dried fruit, by itself. Cherries, cranberries, mangos....

 

Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever?

Not really, I'm afraid. I do bangles more than charms.

 

Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt?

I would!

 

What's 'your' song/your theme song?

Um, I have been told that

, by Cake describes me and there was a period a while back that , by the Corrs was my personal anthem.

 

What would be your superpower?

By the consensus of my gaming group, I would be able to fly and light things on fire.

 

If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?

This question melted my fucking brain. I have huge image stores, and gave up after combing them for three hours. So, this is the cheap answer.

 

The Grand Canal by Joseph Turner

The Accolade by Edmund Blair Leighton

The Demon Queen by aditya777 of DeviantArt

Halloween by Sandara of Deviantart

 

Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.?

That'd be awesome!

 

 

What's your favorite horror movie?

I dunno if they count as horror movies, but Priest, Daybreakers and Contagion were good.

 

If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.

I use Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner (the Long Term Relationship line, though it's not the greatest stuff). I drink vast quantities of diet Rooster Booster, which is a red, berry-flavored energy drink. I chew a lot of gum, though I don't really care about the brand so long as it's minty and sugarless. Um, I'm very, very fond of Philippine brand dried mangos (they're blindingly expensive online - it's much cheaper to buy them at Costco.)

 

I drink loose leaf fruity herbal tea, mostly from Teavanna and Adagio. Um, I use Philosophy brand lip gloss (and Bonne Bell, when I can find the tube). I make Japanese food a lot, so I try to keep a supply of udon noodles on hand (or just spaghetti noodles.)

 

*shifty look* I've found that wet wipes are very useful, for a surprising variety of uses - I typically get the cheapest, unscented generic brand.

 

I like Villainess Whipped! lotion. Arizona is terribly dry and the lotion doesn't irritate my skin, or my boyfriend's which is a lovely thing. (Although I like their solid soap, please don't get me any. I had some nasty allergic reactions when I got some suds into my eyes.)

 

Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?

Absolutely not.

 

I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind?

I listed some in answer to another question, and I'd love to have them in calligraphy or painted.

 

Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?

My period is more 15th century English, rather than Regency, so I'll give it a pass.

 

If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc?

I like DC comics, mostly because of the 'Oh, wow, that's so cool!' factor.

 

Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? FAIRY wings?

I had a huge purple set that I got rid of a while back, on the grounds that I used them for one Halloween costume and then they just collected dust.

 

If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?

Harvest Peach, Spice Trade, Vanilla Bean, Fresh Squeezed Citrus, Espresso

 

SockDreams y/n/already own most of the catalog?

Hell yeah! I love their socks!

 

Art prints/cards y/n/depends?

Prints, yes. Cards, no.

 

How do you feel about terrariums?

They're kinda cool. My dad has a bunch of big ones around the house.

 

What kinds of coffee do I like?

I don't.

 

Have I ever tried the coffee spoons, which are flavored chocolates on a spoon that you use to flavor your coffee?

I have not, but I approve of spoons in general and chocolate in particular, and I'd love to see how they could be used to flavor chai.

 

If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?

I would *love* a knitted thing. I like drape, and flow - Arizona is seldom cold enough to merit something truly warm. Jewel tones, fire colors - if it's all black, or eye-searingly bright, I'm going to approve.

 

As for fiber, silk, alpaca, cashmere, or generally snuggly stuff. I even like cotton, if it's the soft kind.

 

Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off?

Play the flute (I have no musical talent, so I romanticize how nice it must be to express oneself through music). Also, go to Los Angeles. I mean, I've been there before, but I was supposed to go with the boyfriend this year and the trip got axed. I miss Chinatown!

 

Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay?

I approve of the stories, but I'd rather not have the Great Old Ones rising to devour my brain and soup, thankyouverymuch.

 

Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?

*ahem* I got my hands on Straitjacket a few months ago (thank you, Ebay!) I really, really want Caffeinated Death, with Little Ghoulie and Hobbedy’s Lantern close runners-up. Sleepy Hollow and Comfort Me With Apples look good, but they're lower priority.
