Do you live in a bohemian household?

[mousiemousie]

What are its characteristics if so?

[mousiemousie]

Definitely Helena BC

[boboggglimpopo]

Johnny and Vanessa
Princess Margaret
Quentin Crisp
Stephanie of Monaco
Rupert Everett
Mia Farrow

[poppynic]

Love your quiz mousiemousie. I think I'm repressed boho . Lacking in essential style - but appreciate it greatly. Maybe poppyn.. Do you think someone really boho would have a computer?

[poppynic]

oooops, messed that up, was going to suggest that poppyn get into a bit of interior decorating and sort out my house - but then realised that having someone in to do that would be essnetially unboho .

[ParanoidAndroid]

160 - blimey. But I suspect that taking part in this quiz is definitely un-bohemian so I'm not sure what to do about that!

[Bucketsofburntdinosaurs]

Johnny Vaughan and Vanessa Feltz are an item?
No seriously, who are they?

[fullmoonfiend]

185 - though I'm not as bohemian as I'd like to be ...

[hatwoman]

well it's gone midday and dds are wondering round with very tousled unbrushed hair wearing only pants and "jewellery" made from multi-coloured hair bands looped together - hanging loosely round their necks, round their ankles, looped round their feet and toes like (apparently) flip flops, round their knees, wrists, and fore-arms. I am in a bright pink dressing gown with red lace trim. and dh has a sore head from a night that involved the nearest we're likely to get to being able to declare our relationship interesting. do I get extra points? or are we just slobs?

[moondog]

He he Hatwoman
Interesting point.
When does Boho segue into slobbery??

Tis a fine line....

[FillyjonkTheFireEater]

seriously curlew!

see-

[JanH]

Depp and Paradis, not Vaughn & Feltz (ugh)

[mousiemousie]

hatwoman - brilliantly boho. Slob is for tabloid readers. If you are an intellectual you are never really a slob, you just have your mind on higher things

fullmoonfiend what a score...and still not as bohemian as you'd like...maybe the quiz needs more questions! What else is in your mind?

[ParanoidAndroid]

I think we ought to add a few more things to the quiz....

Add 20 points if your TV has only 4 channels

Add a further 50 points if it's still black and white

Deduct 10 points for every TV more than one

Deduct 20 points for Sky etc

Deduct 30 points for a widescreen TV and/or flat screen and/or high definition

(IME, bohemians don't DO technology)

Deduct 10 points if your car is less than 10 years old

Add 10 points if your car is more than 20 years old

Add 20 points if you travel by bicycle regardless of the weather

Any other suggestions?

[JanH]

Another 20 points for keeping hens?

(On mousie's quiz I scored about 30; after PA's my points have gone negative )

[hatwoman]

10 points for owning any antique night wear.

[LadyOfTheFlowersIs1Baby1Bump]

my old man and his wife do the following:
bake their own bread
only eat organic
my dad now wears leather bracelets
he hardly gets his hair cut
they never wear jeans or anything named, everything is sand or olive coloured
she wants to have a go at breastfeeding ds2
they go to 'african drumming' nights
dad grows all the veg
they have reared chickens in the past
she washes all clothes by hand
they dont want a fridge, they have a slate shelf and damp teatowels instead....

actually, i think they are hippies...

[hatwoman]

run that breast-feeding bit by me again? Your ds yes? his granny/step-granny?

[FillyjonkTheFireEater]

I think I am on about 150, which is not bad seeing as how I am in the middle of a physics degree



how about if I want chicken and crap? And if we do have a telly but I can't even turn it on? And I have no frigging idea what sort it is?

[FillyjonkTheFireEater]

(am also rofl btw at all you boho types lining up to take a quiz on the computer

[NotAnOtter]

20 points for each secondary school age child without a mobile phone
10 points for each vegetarian in household
10 points for owning books on spirituality or philosophy
10 points for buddhist artefacts in home
10 points for 'living in sin'

[hatwoman]

surely spirituality's for hippies not bohos? I'd say 2 points for every book by the Bloomsbury set and 2 points for every non-English novel in the original foreign language. Minus two points for every children's book based on a tv character.

[HowTheFillyjonkStoleChristmas]

well am on way over 200 now

[FrannyandZooey]

Oh I am actually getting some points now

I think I was on minus 50 before, I am too anal to be bohemian that's for sure

[moondog]

Lady,yes,clarify the breastfeeding.

'African drumming'

Truly one of the most frightening phrases of our time.

Beaten only by 'African drumming workshop'.
