Interview #21: Taloom in the Hot Seat!!

[The Second Evil]

The Hot Seat is here to give you your weekly dose of gossip and insight into the twisted worlds of BTVSfigs members Okay, twisted isn’t the right word, but hey… it got your attention didn't it?

This week though, we have the beautiful, blushing, babe that is Taloom!

Many of you will know her as the gorgeous girl who keeps on cropping up in the picture threads. Although to me, she is of course, my cyber-fiancée! (Long story). I seriously think she is a great person: very kind, sweet and genuine, but also very interesting and a fascinating person to talk to. And as most of you can tell by her banner and icon, she is a huge Tim Burton fan.

Yikes… could I be more embarrassing? Right, anyway… let’s give it up for Tracy!

*claps madly*

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are a few to get your question-consuming taste buds salivating…

1) What is your favorite Tim Burton movie?

2) If you had to choose 3 Bridesmaids from the forum to be at our wedding, who would they be?

3) What was the last Buffy figure you bought?

4) Describe your ideal kind of guy.

5) Darla or Drusilla?

6) Do you think Paris really is the most romantic city in the world?

7) What’s your favorite Michael Jackson song?

9) What would be your perfect date?

10) Who do you think the hottest people on the forum are!

11) What the hell do you think Shamone! Actually means?

12) What was the last thing you burnt?

[slayergal]

Hee hee ^^

The incredibly awesome Second Evil asked meh....

1) What is your favorite Tim Burton movie?

The Nightmare Before Christmas! All the way, yo. My whole room is filled with NBX stuff.

2) If you had to choose 3 Bridesmaids from the forum to be at our wedding, who would they be?

Hmm... This is very tough. But I'd have to say JustHad, Girl Power, and SlayerLV =)

3) What was the last Buffy figure you bought?

Oh wow... I haven't bought any new figures in a long time, I'm ashamed of myself. But I believe it was... Illyria. Or does she count as Angel=P

4) Describe your ideal kind of guy.

Okay. Well, (I'm so conceited-ish =P) he's the emo/rocker/punk type of dresser, ya know, tight clothes and all. He has many of the same interests as I do. He's sweet (to me, at least), hilarious, all-over fun to be around, smart, kind... He'd know exactly how to cheer me up whenever I was feeling down at all... And, he wouldn't be afraid to tell me the truth, even if it hurt me a little.

5) Darla or Drusilla?

Geez, give me a hard question, why don't ya! Well, I love both of them tons, but in the end, I'd have to say Darla. She was just so... awesome. I loved her character, and I was really sad to see her go, forever =(

6) Do you think Paris really is the most romantic city in the world?

I've never been there, so I can't REALLY tell you, but I would personally say no, not THE most romantic city in ze world xD

7) What’s your favorite Michael Jackson song?

Mr. Jackson... I'd say "Thriller" I always like hearing that song ^^

8) You have a nightmare… you are strapped to your bed as your room slowly fills with milkshake. You will eventually drown. What flavor milkshake is it?

Strawberry <3

9) What would be your perfect date?

Well, first my guy and I would watch a movie or two from the comfort of his couch ^^ Then afterwards we'd go out, maybe just wander around during the lovely night, or something like that xD And we'd wind up on some conveniantly placed beach, and (yes, I'm totally cliche xD) walk along the shore for a while, before he takes me home ^^

10) Who do you think the hottest people on the forum are!

Well, there's YOU!
And off the top of my head, BA1, Alyrenee, CowboyGuy, CMK, Flobbster, Spike, Hadley, RavenSkaH, Andrew, and so many other people I'm forgetting xD

11) What the hell do you think Shamone! Actually means?

It's a slang word for "Hey, wanna go beat up some hobos?" I mean, it's much faster to say than that mouthful ^

12) What was the last thing you burnt?

Burnt... Hmm..... A piece of paper xD

[slayergal]

Silly Shannon asked me...

Does your mother shop at Saks?

Heck no she doesn't! Well..... I don't think she does...

Make love to Angel or Spike?

Very interesting question. Wow. Umm... I would pick Angel =) Unless, I'm somehow fantastically amazing in the sack and make him lose his soul =O

Who would you rather get killed by Darla or Dru?

Hmm... Darla. Dru would probably torture me before she killed me xD

Do you kill Harmony because shes a vamp, or let her live because shes so cool?

I'd kill her =D LOL

DO YOU shop at Saks?

Er...... no. xD

The fierce warriorprince asked mah...


Which is your favourite Buffy figure?

My Doppelgangland Willow! She's so cute, in her skanky lil outfit ^^

Which is your favourite Angel figure?

Illyria, all the way! She's beautiful, I think.

Favourite Buffy episode?

Hmm... I dunno if I have a favourite, but I've always had a thing for the season 2 episode "Passion". No matter how many times I watch it, Jenny's death, and Giles' finding her, always make me sad =( And, I love Angelus's narratives.

Favourite Angel episode?

Hmmm... once again, so many awesome episodes. But I really LOVE "A Hole In The World", and also "Not Fade Away".
AHITW is just so sad for me to watch, but I love it. Fred is my favourite character out f both Angel and Buffy-verse, and to see her die, so horribly, is just heartbreaking. Amy and Alexis did wonderful acting jobs. NFA, as much as I love it, it makes me frown, because I know that's how it ENDS, and we never get a season 6.



The cool bloodyfrenchy asked meh...

Would you rather have the whole collection of Buffy / Angel action figs, I mean, each single one released (regular, variants, expensive exclusive) or just one signed by SMG?
No other choices than those two!

Well, this is tough! LOL
But... in the end, I'm going to go with the WHOLE Buffy/Angel figure collection =)


The very lovely Hadley asked me...


Do you watch Veronica Mars?

Oh, yes =) I'm a HUGE Logan/Veronica fan too. I can't wait for next season!

Cheer Buffy: Fun and super-poseable or a dull idea?

Well I don't have her, but personally from what I've seen online, I'd say kind of a dull idea. There were much better (I think) figures of Buffy that could've been made instead of her.

What is your favorite song?

Hard question, very much so! I love music and listen to it ALL the time... I don't think I can pick just ONE song. So I'll give you (in no order) 3 songs I just LOVE TO DEATH.

1) Miss Murder by AFI
2) Just Like Heaven by The Cure
3) Rum to Whiskey by the Murder City Devils

What Tim Burton character do you relate to the best?

Hmmm. This is difficult xD But I have to say Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Like Jack, I'm tired of my same old clockwork routine, and am always looking for new things to do, and spin my own style on it! Also like him, many people (Halloweentown folk of my own!) look up to me, and I'm tired of always having to help them, and know the answers to everything.

What are your top five favorite movies and tv shows??

I hate you. LOL. Well, here they are, even though it was SO hard choosing TV shows: (in random orders)

Movies:
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Serenity
Shaun of the Dead
Anchorman
A Clockwork Orange

TV Shows:
Angel
Dark Angel (I was so sad/upset when it got cancelled!)
Family Guy
Veronica Mars
Supernatural


How do you take such fantastic pictures?

It's all in the wrist. LOL!
Well I take MANY, from all different angles. Usually I take about 20, and end up with only 1 or 2 good ones if I'm lucky!

What do you want to happen with 'Lost'?

I want Vincent to finally tell everyone that HE'S behind the experiment. And that he's actually a midget in a dog suit.
Naw, I'm kidding.
But I want them to give us more concrete answers! I really want Danielle and Alex to be reunited! And somehow Desmond is back! lol And to finally resolve the darn Sawyer/Kate/Jack! JUST PICK A GUY ALREADY, LADY. Jeez. I know you gotta have some kind of drama that'll last a long time, but this is worse than the Jackie/Hyde/Kelso thing!!!

Have you bought the new Lost puzzle?

Ooh, there's a puzzle! I was not aware of this, so no, I haven't yet!

What has your favorite hairstyle been?? ::pictures please!!::

Probably the one I have now! it's short-ish, and raozred in layers, so it 'flips' out! Here's it in a few angles for you LOL



(Myhair is longer here =P)




P.S. More questions to come - and I'm psyched to be in your cyber wedding to TSE!


YAY! I loved your questions =D

[hitnrun017]

What do you think of Paris Hilton?

Have you ever seen an episode of Grey's Anatomy?

Have you seen Kill Bill?

[slayergal]

The magnificent hitnrun017 asked me...

What do you think of Paris Hilton?

Oh, I'm sorry to those who like her, but I cannot STAND this woman. She's one of those people where if she died, I would go to her funeral just to stomp on her grave. LOL

Have you ever seen an episode of Grey's Anatomy?

Yes, I've seen more than one actually! I love that show! I CANNOT wait for next season to start, to see who Meredith chooses to go with! Personally, I hope it's Finn. Her and Derek... Well after that finale I'm still mad and shocked! At them both!
Speaking of the finale, I did actually cry a wee bit during Denny and Izzie(y?)'s scenes. It was SO sad to watch. It was so mean of those writers to do that!

Have you seen Kill Bill?

No =( I've been meaning to for a while, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

[Sammie]

1 How would you describe me? (always a mean question )

2 What's you favorite Buffy hairstyle?

3 Do you like boardgames?

4 Would you ever dye your hair blonde?

6 What's the biggest mistake Joss made in BTVS (AKA what pissed you off )

7 What's your favorite Firefly episode?

[slayergal]

The amazing Sammie asked...


1 How would you describe me? (always a mean question )

You're the most selfish person I've ever met!
Just kidding! =D
I don't actually know you that well (which is a shame because) you seem like a really sweet, funny, smart person! I always enjoy reading your posts ^^

2 What's you favorite Buffy hairstyle?

Oh gosh... Well... She has many great ones, but I always liked her season 6 short hair (the one she first gets in "Gone")

3 Do you like boardgames?

You better believe it! Last year I had a HUGE "OMG LET'S PLAY BOARD GAMES!!" phase. I drove my mother mad LOL. Monopoly and Life rock!

4 Would you ever dye your hair blonde?

I have! Yes, very long story, which I shall share with you all!
When I was very young, I had blonde hair, like BLONDE blonde. Then as I grew older it started to turn brown. So, being dumb, in about 7th grade I wanted my blonde hair back! So we un-knowingly BLEACHED my hair! My mother and I thought it was dye, but we were wrong xD So I had to wait forever for the bleach to grow out and my natural brunette to come back (which sucks since my hair grows sooo slow)

But as of right now, no. I really like my black hair ^^

6 What's the biggest mistake Joss made in BTVS (AKA what pissed you off )

He made a slight few, but I think his biggest one (to ME) was keeping Dawn. In season 5 she really HAD a purpose, but then afterwards she was just.... there. And I know she was 15, but c'mon, I'm 15 and I don't whine and yell nearly anywhere enar that much! (Can you tell I'm not much of a Dawn fan? =P)

7 What's your favorite Firefly episode?

Oh my Firefly! How I miss ye! Hmmm... I really liked "Shindig".
"Objects in Space" was a really good one too ^^

[Girl Power]

On Grey's Anatomy, do you think that McDreamy has behaved in a very likeable way towards Meredith this past season (up to the point where they finally slept together)?

Were you shocked when Denny died?

Do you think Izzie will come back to the hospital and the show?

What do you think Joss should have done with Dawn's character, since you didn't like what happened with her? Should Buffy have just pushed her off the tower in the Gift? (That's my preference.)

Do you prefer Jessica Alba as a blonde or brunette?

[SlayerLV]

What is your favorite music from the 80s?

What is your fave from the 70s?

What is the most punkest of punk punk-rock that you own?

Add anything thing else about music that pops in your head!

[slayergal]

The extremely wicked Girl Power asked me...


On Grey's Anatomy, do you think that McDreamy has behaved in a very likeable way towards Meredith this past season (up to the point where they finally slept together)?

I think he has, yes. I mean, considering how he kinda didn't tell Meredith he was married and all, and then to find out like that! he totally could have just... blown her off, but he really DID try to still be friends with her, at least =)

Were you shocked when Denny died?
Do you think Izzie will come back to the hospital and the show?

Yes, I was! I was all excited when they finally got the heart and the HUGE charade beforehand, and then he just dies! =(
I think she will stay on the show, but we probably won't catch her at the hospital anymore. Or, maybe she'll try a different medical proffession instead of surgery?

What do you think Joss should have done with Dawn's character, since you didn't like what happened with her? Should Buffy have just pushed her off the tower in the Gift? (That's my preference.)

Oh, how I wish Buffy did. "I'm sorry Dawn." SHOVE.
But I think he should have thought of a new purpose for her, even just being a Scooby (who's non-annoying) or she could've gotten a job (at the Magick Box, eh?) and just helped out, while being NICE. Well, something... xD

Do you prefer Jessica Alba as a blonde or brunette?

Brunette! I remember watching "Dark Angel" I just LOVED her season 2 hair. Long, gorgeous, brunette! And then she went blonde =( She's still gorgeous, though....


The gorgeous SlayerLV asked...

Who is your favorite band and singer?

Tough one! My FAVORITE band is The Sex Pistols.
Singer... Well I really like Debbie Harry xD Can she count?

Who is your favorite actor and actress outside of the Buffyverse?

I'll give you a few xD

Actor - Jared Padalecki, Chris Evans, Jensen Ackles
Actress - Kristen Bell, Summer Glau *she's not BUFFYverse xD*, Natalie Portman

What is your favorite movie?

I have so many xD But my ABSOLUTE favorite, is The Nightmare Before Christmas.

What is your favorite cartoon?

Family Guy! Woop woop!

Do you like X-Men? If so who is your favorite mutant?

Heck yes I do woman! Hmm..... I'd say that Jean Grey/Phoenix is..... tied strongly with Psylocke xD


The uber wonderful gerry asked...


Do you keep a running count of all the hearts you break by just walking down the hall?

I used to, but then my clicker thing I used to keep count broke! So, no, not anymore. That shows me not to buy at the 99 cent store anymore....

What has the most influencial band to you?

Either The Sex Pistols, or My Chemical Romance.

Favorite place to get clothes?

I really love the Electric Chair! (It's a punk store in my area) and Hot Topic has some pretty good stuff too =)

Do you know the difference between switchstance and fakie?


I can honestly say...... no. I probably do, but I don't remember at the moment xD


The mahvelous x-esque asked....


How many band t-shirts do you own, and name a few, please?

Oh gosh, I have so many. I have a red SOCIAL DISTORTION with black lettering, a black BLONDIE tee, a pink Heart of Glass BLONDIE tee, I have a collage SEX PISTOLS tee, a red/white/blue SEX PISTOLS tee, a black RAMONES shirt with the cover of Road to Ruin on the front and a black BLONDIE shirt with skulls behind Debbie, and it says "Die Young. Stay Pretty" underneath her picture. That's a few for ya

What is your favorite music from the 80s?

ROCK! But you mean bands? Blondie, The Clash, AC/DC, B-52s and etc xD

What is your fave from the 70s?

The Sex Pistols, David Bowie, Queen, The Ramones and etc xD

What is the most punkest of punk punk-rock that you own?

LOL! Well, I don't know the punkest, but probably CHAOS U.K., FUNERAL DRESS, and THE UNSEEN.

Ok, this one can be hard for anyone. What is some music that you secretly like in some way or another which could be construed as being slightly embarrassing. In other words, what's something cheesy that you like?

The Beach Boys and classical music. LOL

Add anything thing else about music that pops in your head!

Ummm...... RIGHT NOW I'M LISTENING TO AFI! THEY OWN! JADE PUGET'S HOT! SO IS FRANK IERO FROM MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! I HAVE A THING FOR HOT GUITARISTS! AND JOHNNY ROTTEN, I LOVE THAT MAN!

K I'm done ^^


The beautiful Ginger asked...


What career would you like to have as an adult?

I'm not really sure yet, but as of now I'm thinking a Cosmetologist.

Do you want to get married and have kids?

Married, yes! Kids, I'm not sure of yet...

What are some of your short term and long term goals in life?

Short-termly, I'd like to get along with my parents better! And also, er.... lemme get back to you xD
Long-termly, I wanna become a better person xD And also, really find out who exactly I am over the course of a while... if that's possible =P And, I just wanna do really good in my schoolwork, and get into a good college!

Summer Glau! I love that woman!

Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton.

Yes, actually! A lot on the Sci-Fi channel, I think it was. It's been soo long since I've seen it. And my mum recorded the very last episode for the family to watch. We still haven't seen it yet. xD

How come Buffy's not in your top 5 favourite shows?

Because I obviously somehow tuned it out of my brain, duh xD
Err, can't Angel count as Buffy too? xDD

What was your favourite cartoon growing up?

Angry Beavers! And Rocko's Modern Life. And Ahhh! Real Monsters. I LOVED watching those. A real reason to wake up early on Saturday morning!

[CMK1887]

What's your favorite part of BtVSFigs?

What's your least favorite part of BtVSFigs?

What are some things you'd like to see improve on the forum?

What are some new things you'd like to see that the forum hasn't had yet?

Have you been checking out Survivor: The Hellmouth?

-CMK

[slayergal]

The tremendously gracious, wonderful, lovely CMK asked...

What's your favorite part of BtVSFigs?

The people! Everyone's so nice (well, at least 98% of the time =P) They all care about each other =) We're one big, totally dysfunctional family. I just love this whole place ;D

What's your least favorite part of BtVSFigs?

Sometimes 'arguments' can get way out of hand, and just cause a whole lot of drama that is just a waste, and not needed at all. It's ridiculous what tiny things can turn people to act like 3 and 4 year olds.

What are some things you'd like to see improve on the forum?

Well.... aside from downsizing some drama that arises, I'm thinking, and nothing is really coming to mind. It's already so great....

What are some new things you'd like to see that the forum hasn't had yet?

Hmm.... The forum already has contests that applies to everyone (not just fan-fictioneers, or customizers) and those are great =D New things, new things.... Umm... I'm sorry, I'm no good on creative thinking xD

Have you been checking out Survivor: The Hellmouth?

Yes, I have! =D I can't wait for all these new challenges to start. And my Nasa, 20 weeks! That's crazy-long! So you know it's going to be good
