“Vampires are alive!”… so Lordi sang in their Eurovision hit a few years back. And boy, were they on the money. Vampires have arrived on the pop-cultural scene with aplomb, and now we’re lucky enough to have a whole host of brilliant novels, TV shows, movies and more which celebrate one of the most fascinating, scary and attractive mythical creatures we know of. Rumour has it that there might even be a little vampire flick being released today… *ahem*

Vampires themselves really come in all shapes and sizes – from the suave chilling charm of Dracula via the creepy cuteness of Kirsten Dunst’s character in Interview with a Vampire, all the way through to the generally much friendlier Cullen coven of today! So we’ve put together a little quiz to help you discover which of today’s vampires you are most like, and which handmade products would look the best in your particular crypt ;-) … and if you like our suggestions, be sure to check out our new vampiry trend collection, devoted entirely to our fanged friends!

So without further ado, on with the quiz!

1. What’s your idea of a perfect Saturday night?
• Staring deeply into the eyes of my pale and interesting boyfriend
• Sitting alone in my room listening to classical music and brooding
• Going to my local homeless shelter or soup kitchen and lending a hand
• Roaming the wilds of the forest with some friends
• Eating. Preferably something meaty. Which I’d rather not share.
• An evening of admiring my gorgeous reflection in the mirror.

2. Which animal do you most identify with?
• A bull. I just charge right in and let things sort themselves out.
• A peacock. Because I’m just so damned beautiful, and I like it.
• A lamb – delicate, sweet, in need of protection
• A lion – strong, handsome, and a little crazy-fierce
• A whale – protecting little fishies who float alongside me
• A wolf! Cos they’re AWESOME!

3. If you were stranded on a desert island, which one item would you like to have with you?
• A set of weights. Gotta keep my game up, ya know.
• An encyclopedia… it’s always a good time to gain more knowledge!
• Can I say ‘car’? I’d love to race around an empty island.
• Aw, I don’t need much. Maybe just some driftwood so I can whittle to pass the time. I like to whittle.
• My make-up bag! Or some sharp and sparkly fake talons… uh, I mean nails…
• My one true love … *sigh*

4. What’s your favourite book?
• She’s Just Not That Into You
• Wuthering Heights
• The Art of War
• The Goddess Guide
• The Picture of Dorien Gray
• Gray’s Anatomy

5. What would you do on a first date?
• We’d just hold each other for as long as we possibly could.
• Head down to the mall to glare bitchily at pretty mortal girls. Fun for both of us, right?
• Motorcycle race! Yeah!
• Date? I don’t date. I found the one for me a long time ago.
• If they can kick my ass in a wrestling match, I know it’s meant to be.
• I just like watching people sleep… even if we don’t know each other that well…

6. What’s your biggest pet peeve?
• Wet-Dog smell
• Angry-Vampire smell
• Having to eat something I didn’t hunt myself. BO-RING.
• Being human. I’m so weak and funny-looking, it’s not fair!! *pout*
• Human girls. They have no idea how lucky they are!
• I try to judge all things and people fairly and kindly. I don’t annoy easily

THE RESULTS

Mostly Purple…

You are … THE VAMPIRE WANNABE

You’re no vampire yet, though not for lack of trying! You love everything about vamps – especially the broody, attractive ones. And your only wish is to be able to join them, spending eternity making sweet, sweet classical music together. Be patient, young vamp wannabe… you may not be able to join the ranks of the undead for now, but you can feel a little closer to them with this awesome vampire fangs necklace by finestimaginary… remember, just fake it til’ you make it ;). But, er, try to leave innocent civilians alone…


Mostly Blue:
You are … THE MODEL VAMPIRE

Every vampire or vampire wannabe wishes they could be you. Stunningly attractive, culturally refined, smart and strong – you’ve got the whole package. But you’ve really got to cut down on that intense, broody, stalkery thing you’ve got going – it’s a little creepy! Why not see the funny side for once? This impaled sock horror by er, SockHorror, is the perfect self-parodying toy for a vampire who takes themselves a little too seriously…


Mostly Green:
You are … THE KINDLY SOUL

Awww, bless, we need more of your kind of vampire! Always looking out for others and making sure they’re okay, even if it goes against your baser instincts to do so. You’d never ever bite a human. Ever! You’re the nurturing type that others look to to guide them on their way, and your supersmart, way to go! But don’t you ever feel like you need a little more ME time? Sooth your soul with this lovely eye-relaxing pillow by Zierstiche – how great that it’s in such a vampire appropriate colour scheme?




Mostly Brown:
You are … THE WEREWOLF

What are you even doing taking this quiz? You’re not a vampire! You don’t even like vampires! You’re more of a wolfy type – you like loping around with your friends and being in touch with the great outdoors. Just watch yourself with those crazy stunts! And be careful with that tender heart you’re hiding, too, or you’re liable to get hurt. Don’t pretend you don’t know what we’re talking about ;) You’d do well to follow the advice pigeonkate gives on this awesome Willie Werewolf bag ;)


Mostly Red:
You are … THE BADASS

You’re a lean, mean, bloodsucking machine, and you love it! It’s like you were born to be a vampire – your natural strength and easy confidence make it a bit of a cakewalk. You love the thrill of the chase, and find it hard to stay in one place for very long. But, uh, maybe you wanna crack a book sometime? There’s more to life than kicking ass and taking names, you know … take some inspiration from the inimitable Count Dracula (and sit still for a while!), with this fantastic Bela Lugosi pillowcase from Nounou bleu. Did you know Dracula studied the black arts for years? What have you been doing with yourself lately? ;)


Mostly Pink:

You are … THE RELUCTANT VAMPIRE

Bitten before your time, poor thing, you’re not exactly happy being a vamp. You’d WAY rather be a human girl who gets to make out with boys and go shopping at the mall like a normal person. And, let’s be honest, it’s turned you into a bit of a bitch. Don’t get bitter, honey, get even! Those human girls are probably quite tasty ;). And at least you can comfort yourself with the fact that you’re always going to be hotter than them… and this vampire geisha keychain mirror by Miss-Oneyes will always remind you of it. Unless you’re one of those vamps whose reflection never shows, in which case…errr… did we mention how cute your hair looks today??
