I still have the yellow bunny that my father threw out after my bout with rubella. It's pretty sad, post washing machine, but I just can't give it up. I probably have a dozen stuffed toy from the ages.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have my stuffed goat and stuffed tiger that I've had since I was six. They're packed away with the rest of the dust-catching plush that I can't get rid of.

I still have my felt alligator "The Professor" on my bed (at the end of it), though he lost his professorial spectacles decades ago.
I also have a knit snake that I don't think I ever named, but he was always more of something I'd drape on something rather than have as a snuggle critter.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I still have Softy, the Koala bear I got when I had my tonsils out when I was 5.

Oh, I still have my teddy bear and there are several things still at my parents' house, but I can see mac wanting to keep every blasted cheap plastic object.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Awwww. Just imagining post-tonsillar 5-year-old Perkins with her Softy is making me want to smish grown-up Perkins to bits.
I still have my two dogs Snoopy and Napoleon (mine is much more beat-up than the one in that picture), and the nameless but beloved lop-eared bunny puppet, all here, and Shaw the Scottie is somewhere in storage at my dad's house. There's also a kitten called Caramel who was carnally assaulted by my actual lop-eared rabbit during my senior year of college.

Because books.
My Snoopy is long gone, sadly. Water damage. But he was well-loved for a very long time. He was really my one and only stuffed animal buddy. He had clothes and everything!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My oldest toy is my crossdressing Doggie. The original terrycloth Doggie was dressed in boy clothes. He was my thumbsucking companion and thus I was bereft when he, well worn, had to be retired after his ear could no longer be resewn. When we went to buy Doggie`s replacement there were a whole bin of Doggies! But in pink and yellow dresses. While it turns out that toddler me was perfectly fine with reassigning Doggie`s gender, I knew that the pink dress was unsuitable, so we compromised on yellow. Anyway, I still have him. Dressed in his boy clothes.
