lupestripeJust 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?

Date: 2008-05-19 06:39 pm (UTC)Your unicorn sounds very interesting, I have rarely seen unicorn plushes (but I am a fan). I have always preferred animals over teddy bears, although I don't really know why. Perhaps it's because they are more realistic and I have a greater empathy with them. I find teddies a little to sterile and whimsy, and perhaps too mainstream. I dunno.
Your LJ lady sounds interesting. How expensive are those plushes? Sounds like a good investment, I would love to get a lupestripe plush done at some point lols.
