I am a fan of the 101 Dalmatians books, movies, TV show, and so forth. Cruella was the first Disney character I identified with and every version or new movie has continued to give me some things about her to identify with, although I promise you I'm really quite nice. I try to be quite nice, anyway, and hopefully I succeed!
Last week and a half ago, I bought this limited edition doll. Pictures don't do her justice. She's awesome and I like to think she's the best in the Disney Designer Collection, of the villains and the princesses both. I also bought this shirt earlier in the month, and I'm going as Cruella for Halloween and this will be by far not the only time I've dressed up as her. Some of my children are going to be dalmatians for Halloween, to match me. I have a lot of Cruella stories and those are just this month's.
I also love dogs! I haven't had a dog for a long time, because the dog I had meant a lot to me and I worry that any other dog I have I'd be forever comparing to her, Rose by name, and that doesn't seem fair. But I love dogs and love animals in general. I'll get a new dog if my kids ask. I'm a vegetarian who tries to be a vegan and probably fails at being a vegan somehow or another, but I try - and don't worry, I'm not preachy about that.
There is a lot I love about the 101 Dalmatians franchise. I love Cruella's character for multiple reasons, I love Anita and I think Anita and Roger have among the best chemistry of any Disney couple, Cruella and Anita's friendship has its similarities to a friendship I have had with someone since childhood, I love how strongly Pongo and Perdita fought for their children and how much they love their children, I love a lot of the characters' humor and senses of adventure, and it's just a really great franchise all-around.
Really personal time now:
In a way, I've become more like Pongo and Perdy than I imagined I would. I have eleven kids in my household, ages zero (b. 01/2012) to almost eighteen (b. 11/1994). Most are my kids, some biological and some adopted, and three are my sister's younger kids. (My sister had four kids, not another football stadium. The oldest niece doesn't live with me.) I'd actually love to have more. I might be too old to have more, but we'll see. I'd take in everyone who needs a home if I could. Obviously I can't do that. I don't know how I handle eleven as it is. They love me, though, and I'd do anything for them. I was raised to think of myself as not the type of person who should have kids, and I love that I've proven that wrong and that I can be the type of parent I never had. It was always my secret dream to be a mother. I can't believe I found someone who actually wanted to have kids with me. Crazy man. By the way, I ship Lars and Cruella from the animated movie sequel. If Cruella hadn't gone back to wanting to skin puppies, they'd have absolutely worked out.
Referencing my kids is going to be inevitable, as they're the best that's ever happened to me.
I'm really awkward and silly and loud, and part of being really awkward is not knowing if I'm ever saying the right thing and not knowing how to end long introductory messages. I guess I'll end this here. Thanks for letting me on here and I hope my giant wall of text didn't scare you.
