Do you live in a bohemian household?

[mousiemousie]

What are its characteristics if so?

[motherinferior]

I'm just a wannabe. Oh god I hate my nuclear family life, the one I swore I'd never, ever have...

[noddyholder]

162

[mousiemousie]

noddy that is skyscraper high - did you get all the points on teh cat question or the STDs

[Issymum]

Oh God, I am so not BoHo I'm in negative figures. And that's before deducting 20 zillion points for being a corporate lawyer married to an engineer in a monogamous relationship since we were 17. My parents leaned towards boho though and my theory is that a level of bohoality in early childhood is prejudicial to the later adoption of a bohemian lifestyle.
Great quiz though!

[mousiemousie]

FioFio - it's the best clique too

[noddyholder]

loads of cats no stds but I wouldn't say I was partic boho maybe I counted wrong!We have lots of books paintings etc but am quite clean I promise!!

[hatwoman]

I;ve been thinking and thinking about this thread and realised that I am so not even remotely anything like boho. not just a little bit failed boho as I tried to make out earlier. a fraud. a bad one. a boho in my othre life. right. having covered my back I'm off to do the quiz. will reoprt back

[hatwoman]

I'm leaving this thread. my score is too embarassing for words.

[moondog]

C'mahn Hatwoman (said in manner of hard nailed Nu Yawk PI) what was it???

[Mercy]

Well, I just did this on behalf of my bro who I consider to be boho (he's my bohobro!). He scored 130 but he has no children and smokes weed and drinks alcohol once a week or so, so I substituted one or two scores

Our 2 aunts are eccentric though. I hate it when dh says I'm like then, I'm not at all!

[twinsetandpearls]

scored 170! Dp says I am not bohemian just odd and spend too much time feeding cats and reading wierd books rather than having tea on the table like a decent woman!

[3andnomore]

70 points on the quiz...so, suppose not very bohemian, lol

[Bucketsofburntdinosaurs]

I could cry! Only 95 and most of that was STDs My dd is named after a fantasy heroine but I'm just too darned good with those ISAs I don't think I'm even shabby chic TBH, I am in my head but apart from the crunchiness of my floors I'm just a big old Grauniad phoney.

[twinsetandpearls]

just want to make it clear that my score had nothing to do with STDs

[moondog]

lol at buckets and tsap.

Am confused now-are we to be proud or ashamed of STDS??????

[hatwoman]

more thoughts about this. I think bucket really put her finger on something in her response to my table post - the idea that to be bohemian you have to have rich connections to inherit good quality but tatty at the edges "junk". the more I think about it the more I think there's somtheing to this. It also applies to the financial irresponsibility - basically I don't think most people can afford to be bohemian. unless you have some sort of back up being a total div with money is a no-no, as is rejecting the cheap mass produced stuff that surrounds us. and I think the rich background often encourages financial irresponsibility. the idea that somehow it will all be alright. (Aunt Penelope's going to chuff it soon and she's bound to have got a stash...)

[joelallie]

hatwoman - I agree....No-one can afford to be that cavalier about money these days on a permanent basis.

[mousiemousie]

Who are the curent famous bohemians then?

Do any of these qualify?
Tracey Emin
Jade Jagger
Sienna Miller

Discuss

..presumably a lot of actors qualify?

[joelallie]

Tracey Emin definitely I would say - going by her column in the Independent. Don't know about the other 2.

[Greensleeves]

I got 154

[curlew]

Everyone else on this thread can give up the quest to be the uberboho - I live on a boat!

[Mercy]

Wow, curlew!

A friend of mine used to live on a converted barge, it was certainly as interesting experience staying with her!

Helena Bonham Carter has the blue blood, fashion sense and marital arrangements. Just need to see a Hello pic of her house.


"Her natural quirkiness might explain Helena's infamously outrageous sense of style and her recent taste in boyfriends. In October 2003, the pair announced the birth of her first child with director Tim Burton, a boy. "I find it romantic bearing his illegitimate child and living next door," Helena said just prior to the birth. "I don't know if we'll marry."
