The Rules: Thank the nominator, answer their questions, tag some more people and write up some questions for them to answer.
And here are my questions from jSarie:
1. Your favourite doll or figure comes to life! What's the first thing they say?
What am I wearing?
2. If your favourite doll or figure was a flower, what flower would they be?
A sunflower, full of happiness and life, bright and cheerful. One of those energetic, animated types that inexplicably brings a smile to your face even when you're feeling cranky.
3. If your favourite doll or figure came to life, where would you take them for dinner?
A sushi train. It's one of my favourite places to eat at and we have three I think here in my town now.
4. If you could have any company make any doll, who or what would that be?
Funny you should ask, I've been thinking of a hybrid feline/humanoid doll with eagle wings based on a fantasy creature I created for one of my fantasy stories called "Sekkat." The doll would have a very heavy Egyptian influence in design and feel.
5. If your best friend were a doll, what doll would they be?
Well, my best friend is my husband so I would have to say, The Fourth Doctor Who played by Tom Baker. He even has the hair right now!
6. Do you imagine that any of your dolls came to life, they'd speak languages that you don't (or on the flip side, do you imagine that your dolls don't understand some/any of the languages you speak)?
I think my dolls would have their very own language just like The Sims have Simlish. It would be a mash-up of a few different ancient languages, maybe a combination of Mayan and Egyptian.
7. Do you own any movie tie-in dolls?
If you count my pop vinyl "dolls" then that would be a yes. I have Back to the Future, Harry Potter, Maleficent, Ghostbusters so far. I am debating over getting Katniss from Hunger Games to turn into Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
8. Do you have a travelling gnome-type doll who goes on holiday with you?
I actually don't mostly because I don't go on many holidays lately but I have one small holiday break coming up at the end of May so I will be taking one of my dolls with me, probably one of my Pureneemo girls and one of my figures.
9. Have you ever taken a doll to work (or if you have an army of toys on your desk, how do you decide which ones to keep there)?
I did once because someone wanted to see what a BJD was as they'd never heard of the term before so I took my Popodoll boy in (he was my tallest doll at the time).
10. If you could commission a jointed animal doll, what would it look like?
A unicorn. I've always had a fascination with unicorns since the Ridley Scott Movie Legend so it would be neat to see a jointed one. Particularly sized for either fashion dolls or MSD.
11. What do you think your collecting style says about you as a person?
This is a tough question. I think it says I like diversity in my collection. I like to collect lots of different things, different doll lines and I like to jump from doll line to doll line whenever the mood strikes. It also says I like to do a lot of different things or it could just say I love to collect things! At the end of the day, I think it says I have a lot of interests!

My Questions for the tagged people (or anyone else who wants to do it):
1. Finish this sentence ... It was as if the sun came out and ...
2. You picked up a doll at an op shop. It was pretty banged up. What do you do with it?
3. The world is about to end. You have room in your bag for just one item. What do you choose?
4. You've been asked to star in a movie where dolls are going on a rampage against humanity. Are you: the Villain, the Hero, one of the Dolls or the Bystander and why?
5. Post a photo of your very first doll or figure. Tell us a bit about how you came to purchase that particular doll/figure and why?
6. You've just been sucked into a Virtual Reality game where you, the Hero must save the Kingdom. What kind of character class are you? Why did you pick this class?
7. You've just won a trip to Japan. What is the first thing you do?
8. A doll, a cat and a human walk into a bar. What happens next?
9. Do you have any fanart of your dolls or have you commissioned artwork based on your dolls?
10. Given what you've learned so far being a part of the hobby, if you could travel back in time to the self you were before you started collecting (dolls or figures), what would you say to your younger self?
11. Do you have that dream photo that you'd like to do with your doll/figure? Describe it. Do you think you will ever make it a reality?
Ahaha, I love the idea that dolls might speak something like Simlish, I'm a big fan of Simlish myself xD It's just so silly!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy your holiday, where will you go? :3
I also adore the idea of an ancient Egypt styled doll~ Iplehouse has done one before, and I remember Dollmore had the LE Zaoll girl who was super pretty as well ~~ I was super tempted by them!
Have you heard the songs sung in Simlish? It always sounds as though those songs were sung in Simlish originally, so cool. All my sims have a stereo in their homes as I love to listen to the music that comes out of them.
DeleteJust heading down to Brisbane to see my sister and her newborn but am planning to check out a bunch of shops down there. They have a ton of anime shops, big book stores, art stores and Ikea. Plus they have this out of the way Japanese eating place that is always yummy.
I love Egyptian styled dolls. I really want one but I may just end up making one myself out of one of the MH dolls. Might grab a Nefera de Nile at some point and turn her into Cleopatra.
Thanks for the tag Alasse, but Farrah already tagged me on this one. Funny how you love sunflowers, I do as well, but they are too big to cut and bring inside, so I've settled for Gerberas. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

My favourite are Jasmine. I have a Jasmine tree next to the driveway. But they don't last long at all when you pick them which is a shame. I do wish I could have flowers and plants inside the house but my cat loves to eat them too much and some flowers are harmful to cats so I go without.
DeleteLoved your answers, I think Lucas would be a sunflower as well :D just because of how happy and warm a favorite doll can be right?
ReplyDeleteWhat's a sushi train? a train made of shushi or an actual train where they sell sushi or? doesn't matter too much in any case, I love sushi!
A jointed unicorn would be amazing! and I think it could be possible in the future. Loong soul has a very pretty centaur doll with wings and a horn, kind of like a pegasus, she's gorgeous! that's the closest I can think of now, but an actual unicorn or pegasus would be amazing.
I think the questions you made are incredible, thanks for the tag! I already posted it in my blog. I changed the way the comments get filtered in my blog so If you still have trouble commenting please send me an email about it. I got a more popular plug-in that deletes spam automatically to try, but it won't let me see what's deleting >.> .... if you still have trouble with that one I have a few others I can try.
Oh goodness I just had a visual of Lucas dressed as a sunflower! But yes I agree, happy and warmth really describe sunflowers.
DeleteIt's a little restaurant that has a conveyor belt that runs in the middle and on it are various plates of different kinds of sushi that you just pick up and eat. Each plate is colour coded according to price. It's pretty neat.
Oh my gosh, I would love to see a Pegasus. That would be pretty awesome. And I reckon the unicorn horn should be kind of glow-y. That would rock.
I can't wait to go read your answers. I don't mind having to post my comments twice. I've learned to copy and paste my comments in case they get chewed up. Only thing is you might get them twice is all! It seems to be a common problem with blogs even on blogspot I have had similar issues with certain blogs. Of course, I do comment on blogs outside of blogspot with my wordpress account rather than my blogspot account although I wouldn't imagine that would cause any issues ...
You have the fastest tag turnaround time I've every seen!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the dolls speaking Simlish - that's such a great image.
Really? I had started to answer the questions and then kind of wandered off to watch something and finished it up a few hours later!
DeleteIt would be neat to have a vocabulary dictionary on simlish. I'm always curious what they're saying but the actions kind of give it away ... sometimes. Not always.
