Updated with the 2011 questions.March 25

 

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...) I am, but only the whipped or the extrait. Most Villainess products tend to dry me out but the scent combo is kind of amazing sounding. I LOVE CILANTRO.

 

If I were to order you a Smack, which four notes would you like? Smacks unfortunately dry my skin out so...no thank you. *feels like a jerk*

 

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? I'm a spazz for a hood or fingerless gloves but I'm moving to California soon where I hear I wont need stuff like that.

 

March 23

 

Easter Candy - do you like it? If so, what types? The only kind of easter candy I like are those eggs with the what not inside. But I can pass on those. I generally eat one a season and call it good.

 

What scent(s) are you petrified of getting DC'd? CROWLEY. Tezcatlipoca, my first GC love.

 

March 22

 

Violette Market Update is up. Do you covet anything from it? Honestly, there are quite a few that sound amazing to me. Fairy Changeling and Morrigan first and foremost, Cauldron and Fairy Shoemaker to a lesser extent. I've tried their scents before and was less than impressed but you never know.

 

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 like Malbecs and Grenaches, French Chards, Spanish wines. I don't like most Italians. And I do like dessert wines, medeiras are YUMMY.

 

 

 

 

March 21

 

What three things are you craving right now? I always want ice cream, sleep and sex.

 

paper goods, anyone need? including resume paper, and formal stationery as well as casual cards. I'm kind of a paper junkie. I might not do anything with it! But I would love it forever

 

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?) Honestly, the Elf and Half Elf scents have me kind of freaking out and I am kind of kicking myself for not doing an ISO/Fairy for WC. I always want to try the 13 scents. Misk U v3 sounds awesome...

 

Is there anything in your life that you'd like advice or a "selfhelp" book for?: (ie finances, eating healthier, meal planning) Not really.

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? If someone related to BPAL came to visit I would weep. I have been kind of lonely lately and I would glomp them and say, 'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THIS LAST YEAR!?' So keep in mind, you may be assaulted if you come by my house.

 

Let's say I have a pair of something you collect, would you like one of them and we have matching things? That would be cool

 

 

March 18

 

Do you like poetry? HAIL! POETRY! THOU HEAVEN BORNE MAID! THOU GILDEST EVEN THE PIRATE'S TRADE!

 

Okay but seriously, I like poetry but I don't read it a lot, not anymore.

 

What types of scents do you like to scent your home? Which do you totally avoid? I usually dont scent my house.

 

What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? Comics are awesome. I love Sky Doll, Rasputin Barxotka, Dissident Priest, Poison Elves, the newer Conan ones...I love Noah and Jehu from Sky Doll. Noa is the only comic char I've considered getting a tattoo of.

 

How do you feel about nail polish? What colors do you like? Sparkles? I like the idea. Sparkly nail polish is kind of what nail polish is all about, right? Could use some green or brown sparkly stuff.

 

Household/kitchen goods/gadgets? Kind of a kitchen gadget junkie. I love to cook.

 

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? I am a huge freaking geek. I read comics, watch geeky shows (Currently watching the BBC Being Human, loved Caprica, Firefly, Star Trek TNG and DS9. I write fantasy stories. And I play RPGs when I can. I would gladly take anything related to any of this.

 

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 dont like synthetics. Kind of want to have a sheepskin one day.

 

Anything with the Worm Moon update that you're already lusting after? Not really. I would like to try the Japanese ones. I'm more peeing my pants over the impending RPG update.

 

March 17

 

Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only ex. Diaspora, Demonoid, etc. If so, what? I'm set.

 

Pillows? What size/designs/colors would most interest you? Pillows? I honestly have no idea what I would do with a pillow.

 

purses? bags? What style/colors? I need a new over the shoulder bag. I have a few on my etsy wishlist/favorites to show the style. I like solid colors. I'm very adverse to stuff with random things screenprinted on them.

 

Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors? Sure! Greens, browns, leaves, flowers, golds, silvers, deep blues, blacks. I'm game!

 

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 don't know those people but I'm always open to new things. I use Toms of Maine for deoderant.

 

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 usually wear warm colors? Browns or reddish browns. I myself am pretty brown so it has to match.

 

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. Vanilla extracts, cinnamons, cocoa powders...totally!

 

What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you? Favorite animal? Totally the turtle. If I had to choose a totem animal, it would be the turtle. Also like octopi, squids, snails, nautiluses, crabs, owls and hawks.

 

If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want? Elf or Half Elf or Ranger. Anything RPG related

 

DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither? Honestly, neither. We don't have a drive. We are internet pirates (DON'T TELL!).

 

Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?) No socks, please.

 

Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care? Honestly, either one. SW should be fun for the giver. I realize the ambiguous answer might send you into a tizzy because it is the opposite of helpful/specific. I guess one package at the end and pokes and links during the round would be more than acceptable.

 

Do you like pirate-related things? Honestly? Kind of no. When I think pirate I think 'Sea-faring rapist glamorized with showers and eye liner.' Yeah.

 

Soaps? Be specific: if there are BPAL soaps you want to try or are dying for more of, tell all here! Also, any other companies people like or love? Villainess, maybe? Or Lush? What flavors??? The only soaps that I can use that I know of are Dr. Bronners in baby mild and the soaps at The Beer Soap company/Zaja Natural. I have very dry skin and I have to be careful or I turn into a dustpile. A sentient one, but still.

 

What periods of art do you love most? Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco? The romanticism of Art Nouveux? The strange lines of Cubism? Ancient Egyptian.

 

Would you like caffeinated lollipops?: http://www.lollyphil...cks-caffeinated No thank you. I am not into hard candy, even if it contains my fuel.

 

Copied CD's or DVD's? No, but a link to a torrent would be great

 

I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you? No thanks.

 

March 15

 

Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds? YES. I LOVE BOOZE, I mean..yeah. Sure. I work at a liquor store so I have access to lots of thangs. But I love peaty scotches. Scotch.

 

Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay? It really depends. I think gears slapped onto stuff is sloppy and stupid. However, I saw a mechanical foetus in a belljar that was absolutely fabulous. Basically, I appreciate things that are well made.

 

Do you like amurigami dolls? I think they are super cute! An elf one would be cute!

 

Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most? None of these. OCTUPUS OR ELF.

 

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 generally don't but recently my hair has acquired sound effects and needs decorations. Anything sylvan would be welcome. Or the kind that claw into your hair. My hair is fun.

 

Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere? Ear, yep.

 

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) Caramel? YES. Salt? YES? Fruits or nuts? NO, PLEASE. I am up for other weird stuff because I'm always down to try new things. Rittersport chocolate is my hero.

Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like? I don't, actually.

 

Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers? I do love gardenins, at least container gardening. But we're moving in a month and a half and so we can't garden yet I love moonflowers and sunflowers, green beans, lettuce, cucumbers, dahlias...yeah. One day.

Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection? Hmm. Can't think of any. Maybe more ancient classics?

 

candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay? Maybe some candles in glass things so the cats and small child do not kill me with it.

March 10

 

Baked Goods? Yea Nay? SURE.

 

If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? Sure but not changing my eating habits.

 

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) If I had unlimited dough? Double up on Crowley, a Thanatopsis, a Tintagel, a Bess believe it or not, I would get another Ein Kuss Von Krampus or two...oh man. Actually, I kind of want another leathery scent. Hmm.

 

What level of nudity are you fine with on items? Ex: none, tasteful, erotica Hmm. I guess all of it, it just depends the format.

 

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? No underpants or hats or socks.

 

Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out? Yeah, I cook a lot so cooking stuff is always good Different salts, coriander is always good.
