In fear of losing my post, I am starting a new one.

 

You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc?

You sure you are ready for this? OK.

Dark wash jeans. I have one or two pairs that make my legs/butt look amazing and don't require a belt. No muffin top either, which is a feat for me. Then I would probably elect to wear my short sleeve ivory v-neck top with some beading/crocheting and sparklies around the neck. Because it is fall, I would also throw a purple open-front cardigan over top. The one I have has a ruffle-y thing around the neck/front edge. Then, to give myself a decent shape, I throw a wide belt on over top of everything (high on the waist, around the ribcage). And a scarf in one of my many colors. Add a black trench and a pair of gold sparkly ballet flats and that is it for clothes. I would likely wear something for earrings, nice and dangly. Maybe a headband or a floppy toque if it is cold.

 

Alternatively, I could do the same thing with my dark wash bluejean skirt and what I call my secretary shoes (beige t-strap stilettos). I can't wear heels much anymore though, so that would be if I was REALLY trying to impress them.

 

Some makeup and some BPAL, and I would be good to go!

 

You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like?

Pretty much anything on my Pinterest fashion board. I would LOVE to own a pair of knee high boots, but I can't because of my calves.

 

You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable).

Oh gosh... only three? Knee-high boots that actually fit and are comfy, some lab fresh BPAL (I have never owned any lab fresh BPAL *sniffles*), and Johnny Depp. Oh... he's not available for purchase? I can't really think of anything realistic for the third thing. I am very frugal... so there are things I want, but are way too much money. We'll go with anything off my Amazon wishlist.

 

What makes you laugh?

Russell Peters (though we have all his DVDs), puppies, my husband (we are incredible goofs). I am very sarcastic and witty.

 

The end of this month I'm going to Scarefest, the big horror and paranormal con in Kentucky. Here's the link to the site. If I were your witch, is there anything you would like from there (skull jewelry, art prints from an artist that catch your eye, etc), or anyone whose autograph or photo or such you would dig?

Probably not... but if your gut says yes, go for it! Just nothing too creepy and gory.

 

Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting?

I'm sure there are. Let me tell you my "pants" story. Weenies are the one seasonal I have never owned. I have had Lupers, I have had Yules. Never Weenies. So this year I said to myself... "Myself, I want Weenies. We are going to find a halfie decant circle on LJ and we are going to buy some Weenies!" I saved until I had enough to buy a few, if not one of each.

 

The day after the update happened, we wrote off our two year old car in a pretty bad accident. No one but me was hurt, and me not seriously (just got banged up a bit, going to physio for it and its really helping) which is REALLY GOOD. Things like cars can be replaced. People can't. And to top it off, the people in the other car weren't jerks at all. They didn't yell or scream, they were just calm and it was all good.

 

So I haven't even looked at Weenies, TBH. Because my savings went towards a new car, and with Christmas coming up and now a witchee to spoil *rubs hands together gleefully* there is no point. Also, most of the decant circles are full. *shrug* So Weenies weren't meant to be this year But we did get a shiny new car.

 

My new job is at a consignment store where we have all kinds of designer brands for very reasonable prices. Are there designer clothes/purses/sunglasses that you desire/love? (Give some indication as to your "style" as well. For example, do you like bohemian-style frocks in lavender? Crossbody purses in black? Sunglasses that are round and bug-like?)

I don't think in designers, usually. It would be cool to own something genuine, but not necessary. I like scarves. pashmina-style scarves. And purses. But with purses, the less it has on the outside (fringe, sparkly bits, etc.) the better.

 

I realize that we had a similar question in the ?aire, but I need you Witchee-s to list at least 5 items, each ranging $20 and under from Amazon.com or Walmart.com.

My favorite movie from childhood, Lip gloss, I need this in my life., I want to read this, Lego Harry Potter. Because it is awesome.

 

Do you have pierced ears?

Yes, two holes in the lobe. But I also have very sensitive ears. I like danglies for the first holes, studs for the second.

 

In the meantime, let me know what you like to do on the Internet to kill time. Flash games? What are your daily websites/blog visits, or favorite YouTube videos?

Puppy videos, I go to PostSecret weekly, I visit Tumblr a lot, I lurk on Cafe World on my Facebook games account... and I play WoW. I have a subscription to Cute Overload as well, so that gets me through the e-mail portion. LOLcats, CakeWrecks, Goodreads, the local paper (I like to be informed), Netflix (on my Wii, but it is still a website, right?)...

 

Are you interested in audiobooks? If so, any specific titles?

I've never really gotten into audiobooks. I find them hard to stay engaged in, and I fall asleep a lot with reading... and yeah.

 

Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no?

Sure? I like liquid soap too

 

Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like?

Flash drives are awesome.

 

Lip balm - tube or tin?

Prefer tube.

 

Would you like to receive a journal or sketchbook? How about other pretty paper goods like post-its, notepads, bookmarks, letter paper/envelopes?

Yes to all but sketchbooks. I don't sketch. I like paper goods. They are awesome.

 

Would you like a pair of knitted socks?

Sure! Machine washable would be great.

 

Do you have any use for knitted dishcloths, facecloths, etc, especially if they were fandom related?

Sure!

 

Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples? (perfume, eco/"green," skin care, hair, music downloads, cosmetics, soap...)

Never heard of these... but it seems cool. Not something I could maintain myself (monetarily) though, tbh. Also it would have to be a Canadian version. (Disability = poor vanillabean.)

 

Nudes?

No, thanks. I don't have a problem with them per se (if they are tasteful), but I have family who does, and having them over would be awkward.

 

Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her?

Nothing specifically, but I wouldn't say no to trying stuff out

 

ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there?

ALL THE THINGS! I have a wishlist, but I don't exactly know how to link it...

 

What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding?

More time! Other than that... sugar free items sweetened with stevia. (No aspartame, sucralose, maltitol, etc.)

 

Other E-tailers?

Nothing I am DYING to try, though I am always open to new things. I tried some Villainess recently, and I don't know if it is the carrier oil or the age of the samples I have, but I smelled like Crisco. Would like to try her soaps, though.

 

What do I do when I am sick/cranky?

I am always sick, but when it gets worse (when I have a cold or something) I am the biggest suck ever. I can't take a lot of medicines for common things because of all the things I am on for my chronic stuff. So colds, flu, etc. all get to wreak havoc on me. I drink tea, eat soup, take baths (which I can generally only stand for 10 minutes before I am too hot, lol) and snuggle up on the couch with blankets. Then I break out the kids' movies. The two I have from my childhood are The Jetsons Movie and The Chipmunk Adventure. I watch those two, Ferngully if I can find it on TV or to rent. Disney movies, etc. This is also what I do if I have a bad fibro/colitis day. I hole myself up in my room and watch kids' movies. When I am cranky or sad, I usually smash pixel things on the Wii or the computer. It can be very therapeutic *sagenod*. A lot of the time I will read as well when I am either sick or cranky. And sleep.

 

Who here is going to be picking up JK Rowling's new book on Thursday?

I want to read it, but then I also want to read a lot of things. I won't be waiting in line and it will likely be one I wait a while for.

 

Favorite and least favorite baked goods?

No homemade baked goods, please. (But, for informations' sake... Pie is my least favorite. Cupcakes/Cake are my favorite. Cookies and brownies fall somewhere in the middle.)

 

What size T-Shirt do you wear (standard AND babydoll)?

Standard: M-L Babydoll: L-XL

 

I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general?

Nothing with liquor please, but other than that, sure!

 

Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures?

I have so many health problems, and I have so many medicines I have to take... I am going to have to say no, thank you. Mostly to avoid unwanted interactions.

 

Owls?

Neutral.

 

Do any of Villainness' Soap Box exclusive scents interest you, especially any of the Smooches/Whippeds?

I am open, but nothing specific. To be honest, though, I haven't looked.

 

Puddin' just put a shitton of old Lunacy shirts on the BPTP Etsy! Any ones interest you?

Maybe?

 

Witchee, do you want anything from the Haunt update coming up on 10/3? I know it might be too early to say, but if you could look at the preview on the night of 10/2 and let me know if you want anything...

Never tried Haunt.

 

Do you use or would like to try loose eyeshadow pigments?

Sure!

 

Is there anything you might want from the latest update (Lab or TP)?

ALL THE THINGS!

 

What's a new company to you that you most want to try a product from or what would be a new product to you that you most want to try (make-up, perfume, or bath/body)?

Hmm... There is a cream called Fat Girl Slim I am intrigued with. And Korres makes a face line for oily but dehydrated skin.

 

If you like necklaces, what are some symbols or images that you would love to have a necklace depict? (ex. spiders, skulls, hearts...?)

I am pretty open. Spiders would freak my hubby out. I like simple stones, I like those circles with words on them, I like lockets. I saw a wishbone necklace that really intrigued me super lots.
