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?

I'm not sexual with plushes either, not really my bag, but the spiritual thing is something that I kinda see in them and therefore I would be devastated if I was ever forced to part with them. If my mother had done that, there would have been hell on, I would have been so unhappy about it I would have been moody and sulky for ages.

I thought I heard of Gizmo from somewhere, yep that's scary. Very scary. Particularly when drunk, I can imagine...
