Plushes

[lupestripe]

Just out of interest, how many plushes do you own and what animals do you have?

I have always been interested in plushes, ever since I was a kid, but unfortunately my parents banned me from buying any more as they feared I would drown amidst a sea of plushes. They even confiscated some of them too and stuck them in the attic.

But now I am an adult, I am free to buy what the hell I want and this includes furry friends!!

I have a giant lion called Leo that an ex bought for me, a giant easter bunny, Bukkake the Bear from a charity shop (£4 for a 3ft bear, bargain!!) and a vast array of wolves, foxes and dogs. Of course, being a husky myself I have a natural fondness towards canids as they are just so darn cute!! Sadly I have yet to find any with pink stripes. Shame, they're missing a market there :P

Also, does anyone else get plush sympathy? That is, an overwhelming rush of emotion when you see a particular plush? Sometimes I go into a shop, spy a plush and just have to buy it because of the cute face or how it looks. I have also been known to buy two of the same plush because I liked the look of both of them and feel that if I put one back on the shelf, he will feel sad because I rejected him. I know it's silly but does anyone else experience this? Or am I just a nutjob?

Anyways, I currently have about 20 plushes. How many do you have and what's your animal(s) of choice?

its usually the face and/or the pose which determine how i see it :)

It's the same with me, a cute face or pose is always a winner with me. I think I like the submissive look, perhaps because I can relate it to myself.
