Cordy's Answers:
1. Would you rather have to clean the house or work in the yard?
I infinitely prefer working in the yard. My back hurts like crazy afterwards but yard work is so much simpler than housework. You cut, pick, plant or water. It's just that simple. My kind of simple. :D
2. Would you rather your fairy godmother create a dress in the place of the ruined one, or restore it to its original form?
I like the idea of a mystery transformation. I also like the idea of wearing my 'mother's' dress, that I have made-over. But I think after so much time with my step-mother and step-sisters, something new would be nice.
3. Would you rather have a pink or blue dress?
I think I would go with pink! I like blue, but I think I would like pink more. I've been loyal to pink since my sister and I used to argue about Aurora's dress in Sleeping Beauty. She has always preferred the blue and I prefer the pink.

| Can I have the cape to go with it?! |
4. Would you rather have your hair pulled up/back or leave it down and styled?
Down! I don't really like my hair pulled back.
5. Would you rather arrive to the ball by coach or horse? (I've seen at least one version where Cinderella used a horse.) Show us an example of your chosen transportation.
This carriage, shown below, would be lovely thank you! I mean, I suppose with a horse I wouldn't have to worry about his turning into a pumpkin but still, a carriage wins. I should tell you that besides those awesome reflective sides, this coach has lovely crystal beads hanging down with fun detailed carriage cushions. I have loved this carriage for so long. :)

| Sorry, it's not the best picture but it's, basically, the only one I could find. |
6. Would you rather be Cinderella, as in the belle of the ball, or simply an attendee of the event?
I actually, don't/wouldn't want to be Cinderella. I wouldn't mind just being a simple commoner who mingles with everybody else. Why, you may ask. Because then I don't have to make an entrance and walk down those stairs in front of everyone in glass slippers!
7. Would you rather sing the duet 'Ten Minutes Ago' with the prince while dancing or slip on the stairs while entering the ball?
Back to that entrance again are we? Because there is NO WAY I'm singing. Particularly, with so many people in the room and my partner being so close to me...I'm not sure I could even dance and sing at the same time! Hahaha! So I guess I would have to almost twist an ankle on the stairs. :\
8. Would you rather, for a movie, be cast as an evil step-sister or the fairy godmother?
Oh, the fairy godmother of course! And I wouldn't want a wand, I want to do it Whitney Houston style.

| You can read more about this Cinderella version later this week! |
9. Would you rather your prince wear green or blue?
Gosh, I don't know. I suppose it would depend on which he looked better in. I think I will shock you readers. I am finding that this is not a very popular opinion but I like Prince Kit's green jacket that he wears in the forest. So I suppose I would go with the green. :)
10. Would you rather put the slipper on yourself or do you want the prince to place it on your foot?
This may seem like a strange question for some of you but I am not a foot person. I don't want to see your feet and I don't want you doing anything with mine. Therefore, I would prefer to try my own shoe on, personally. Sorry if this perhaps distracts from a romantic gesture but, I can't help it! Hahaha!
I hope you all enjoy this Cinderella filled week! You can play the game on your blog or in the comments!
Yours truly,
Cordy
Oh, what a wonderful idea, Cordy!! I love it! (I was hoping for a game, but just ran out of time... and you came up with much better questions anyway. ;D) I do have a lot to do, but I'm really hoping to play.
ReplyDeleteAnd hee. I had no idea till the party started that everybody WASN'T crazy about Kit's jacket as personally I LOVE it!!!! Honestly, it's one of my favorites and would have appeared on my tag answers, except that I was restricting it to dresses. ;P So I'm thrilled to find a kindred spirit!!
Well, there you have it! I feel like the 2015 fairy godmother now. Instead of saying, "one carriage", I can say, "one game". Just for Cinderella Week too! Haha!
DeleteNeither did I! Poor Kit. ;) I love that jacket! It's vibrant and unique, I really don't see what's not to love! I am a very kindred spirit, Heidi! :D
Hee. "Thank you, fairy godmother." ;)
DeleteAnd here are my answers!
1. Would you rather have to clean the house or work in the yard?
~ Cleaning the house generally ends up being my first choice, but I do love gardening when I actually get out doing it! ;)
2. Would you rather your fairy godmother create a dress in the place of the ruined one, or restore it to its original form?
~ A swirling, sparkly new one would be positively splendiferous. (And wow, that was a lot of s's!)
3. Would you rather have a pink or blue dress?
~ Pink and blue are my two favorite colors, but (for aforesaid dress) probably most definitely blue. :)
4. Would you rather have your hair pulled up/back or leave it down and styled?
~ Hmmm. Good question! (On me personally), I think pulled up and back and (hopefully) elegantly twisted.
5. Would you rather arrive to the ball by coach or horse? (I've seen at least one version where Cinderella used a horse.) Show us an example of your chosen transportation.
~ I've seen both as well! But probably a coach (because that's how I always picture it). :)
6. Would you rather be Cinderella, as in the belle of the ball, or simply an attendee of the event?
~ Cinderella!!!!!. ;) :) :)
7. Would you rather sing the duet 'Ten Minutes Ago' with the prince while dancing or slip on the stairs while entering the ball?
~ I'd rather sing. NOT in front of the entire crowd that is, but as it would just be myself and the prince -- and as he'd be himself and I'd be Cinderella -- I think I'd quite enjoy it. ;)
8. Would you rather, for a movie, be cast as an evil step-sister or the fairy godmother?
~ Fun question! I think the fairy godmother. With her wonderful humor and playful, yet down-to-earth practicality, I think it'd be delightfully fun.
9. Would you rather your prince wear green or blue?
~ Both! (And I'm sorry, that wasn't really an answer... ;D)
10. Would you rather put the slipper on yourself or do you want the prince to place it on your foot?
~ Hee. I see I'm in the minority here! ;) But I'd rather have him do it. Soooo romantic! ;) (And then I could be doing something like holding up my full skirts a little... or balancing with a hand on his shoulder... or something likewise picturesque. ;D)
Thank you again so much for the game questions, they were great and lots of fun!! :D
I'm glad you had fun with the game!
DeleteThanks for hosting the Cinderella week.
10. You make it sound so easy and 'picturesque'. "Holding up my full skirt a little," hehehe. :D
I would love to answer this tag, if you don't mind :P I'm going to assume you don't and go ahead:
ReplyDelete1. Would you rather have to clean the house or work in the yard? - Clean the house. I'm rayther good at it :P
2. Would you rather your fairy godmother create a dress in the place of the ruined one, or restore it to its original form? - I suppose this is assuming that I am Cinderella, as otherwise I don't have a fairy godmother. So, I would rather my fairy godmother changed the dress. I don't want to be recognized, thankyouverymuch :)
3. Would you rather have a pink or blue dress? - Blue, because my hair is dark brown, with gold/red, and doesn't go very well with pink.
4. Would you rather have your hair pulled up/back or leave it down and styled? - I would leave my hair down, because I'm shy about my ears. I think it comes of wearing glasses :P
5. Would you rather arrive to the ball by coach or horse? (I've seen at least one version where Cinderella used a horse.) Show us an example of your chosen transportation. - A coach, because I'd be afraid for my dress, arriving on a horse. Something like this would do nicely:

6. Would you rather be Cinderella, as in the belle of the ball, or simply an attendee of the event? - I'd like to be Cinderella. The prince, I mean to say, what? (Oh, BTW, I know everyone doesn't like his jacket, but I'm with you on it. I LOVE it :D)
7. Would you rather sing the duet 'Ten Minutes Ago' with the prince while dancing or slip on the stairs while entering the ball? - Slip on the stairs. I'm sorry, but I can't sing. I mean, I can, and I like to, but not with everybody watching me :D
8. Would you rather, for a movie, be cast as an evil step-sister or the fairy godmother? - I'd say the fairy godmother, but I'm not old enough, and so maybe I'd have to be the evil step-sister. Oh well.
9. Would you rather your prince wear green or blue? - Depends on what he looks like. But I do really love a dark forest green color :)
10. Would you rather put the slipper on yourself or do you want the prince to place it on your foot? - Assuming we'd got that far. Ahem. Having the prince put it on is romantic, I have to agree, but I am a very independent gairl, and so I would put it on. I mean, it'd only be like the second time I'd seen him, right? :P
I loved this tag! Sorry if I wasn't supposed to fill it out. I don't have a blog you know :)
Do I mind? Of course not! Carry on!
Delete#2 You don't have a fairy godmother? How sad. ;)
#3 Your hair sounds beautiful!
#6 Ha ha! Another jacket lover!
#7 That's why I chose to slip on the stair too. I only sing when/where no one else can hear me.
#8 I'm not old enough to be a fairy godmother either, but I think it would still be fun! We haven't seen a young fairy godmother before...it would be original!
#10 Yes, I must be the one to put my shoe back on! Hahaha!
Of course you were most welcome to fill the tag out. I'm glad you did! I enjoyed your answers.
Aww, thanks! I do love my hair, though it is rayther heavy and hot in the summer :P Yes, of course I love the jacket! How could one not? It goes with his eyes!
DeleteYes, I don't like when someone says "sing something"! I just like to sing to myself. And my stuffed animals :P
Glad you didn't mind - I had a lot of fun!
Lovely!
ReplyDelete1. Would you rather have to clean the house or work in the yard? Clean the house, definitely.
2. Would you rather your fairy godmother create a dress in the place of the ruined one, or restore it to its original form? I think a new one. I've never been dreadfully fond of any of the "before" pink dresses I've seen :-/
3. Would you rather have a pink or blue dress? Blue :)
4. Would you rather have your hair pulled up/back or leave it down and styled? Hmm, good question! I think perhaps pulled up and back. I think I look better with my hair that way, though others disagree with me, so…yeah.
5. Would you rather arrive to the ball by coach or horse? (I've seen at least one version where Cinderella used a horse.) Show us an example of your chosen transportation. Coach, hehe. (But I'm going to pass on showing a picture…a sleigh would be really cool, though! Like if the ball was in the wintertime.)
6. Would you rather be Cinderella, as in the belle of the ball, or simply an attendee of the event? Huh! I hadn't really thought of that? Cinderella would be fun. But so would an attendee.
7. Would you rather sing the duet 'Ten Minutes Ago' with the prince while dancing or slip on the stairs while entering the ball? I'm gonna go with sing the duet, even though I haven't heard it, because I would really hate to slip on the stairs :P
8. Would you rather, for a movie, be cast as an evil step-sister or the fairy godmother? Sheesh, these are good questions! Either one would be fun :)
9. Would you rather your prince wear green or blue? If it's the right shade of green, I'll say green, as that would contrast nicely with blue.
10. Would you rather put the slipper on yourself or do you want the prince to place it on your foot? I'm with you--I'd rather put it on myself! Haha! xD
Thanks for the fun game! :D
#5 Ooh, a winter ball?! That sounds lovely! And a sleigh, better and better!
Delete#6 Come now, Olivia, you can't have it both ways. That is not a proper answer!
#7 You are braver than I! And apparently more graceful...you didn't trip on the stairs.
#8 Tsk, tsk. Olivia, I just talked about this, that is not an answer! :D
#10 I didn't think that anyone would understand the reasoning behind this question but I find that I was wrong!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your fun answers!
Ooh, this is so fun, Cordy! I think I'm going to do this on my blog. I really like your "would you rather" games! (Which is kind of a big deal because I don't usually play blog games! haha)
ReplyDeleteYes, score! Natalie, is going to play a blog game! Haha.
DeleteI can't wait to read what you come up with. :)
Awesome game!
ReplyDelete1. Would you rather have to clean the house or work in the yard?
Yard. I would almost always rather be outside... unless it's over 90 degrees out... then I'd rather clean the house.
2. Would you rather your fairy godmother create a dress in the place of the ruined one, or restore it to its original form?
Probably create a new one. Especially if it was something I had to sew myself... because a seamstress I am not.
3. Would you rather have a pink or blue dress?
BLUE! (I love that you and your sister used to argue over Aurora's dress. Come on, she spends practically the ENTIRE movie in a blue dress... and then gets remembered as the "Princess in Pink" what's up with that????)
4. Would you rather have your hair pulled up/back or leave it down and styled?
Down and styled, I think.
5. Would you rather arrive to the ball by coach or horse? (I've seen at least one version where Cinderella used a horse.) Show us an example of your chosen transportation.
I would want to arrive on a Pegasus... like this one: http://i-am-this.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pegasus300.jpg (And no, it wouldn't turn into a pumpkin... but arriving by horse COULD mean you end up trying to ride home on a mouse!)
6. Would you rather be Cinderella, as in the belle of the ball, or simply an attendee of the event?
Hmm. The adventurer side of me says, "Let's be Cinderella!" but the very shy not super extraverted side of me says, "Uhhhh, let's just stand by the wall and look at all the pretty dresses and try a dessert or something..."
7. Would you rather sing the duet 'Ten Minutes Ago' with the prince while dancing or slip on the stairs while entering the ball?
Slip on the stairs. Partially because I have never heard of that song, and partially because I don't usually sing in public. There was a karaoke moment once upon a time... but I was with good friends and we were all feeling a bit silly.
8. Would you rather, for a movie, be cast as an evil step-sister or the fairy godmother?
Ooh, evil stepsister! I always think that the actor playing the villain probably has more fun than those playing the good guys. Except for maybe in Lord of the Rings, where I'm guessing the thrill of being in the movie at all made everyone's excitement and fun about equal.
9. Would you rather your prince wear green or blue?
Dark, hunter green.
10. Would you rather put the slipper on yourself or do you want the prince to place it on your foot?
I'm good with the romantic gesture, but only if my feet are clean (which, as Cinderella, they probably wouldn't be... in which case, I'll put it on myself, thank you very much).
Super fun game!
I'm glad you liked it!
Delete1. As I said, yard work is so much easier for me. It seems less tedious.
2. "Especially if it was something I had to sew myself... because a seamstress I am not." Haha, neither am I. :/
3. I'm fine with Aurora being known by pink. It helps my argument with my sister. ;)
5. That would be a new twist on the story.
6. "the very shy not super extraverted side of me says, "Uhhhh, let's just stand by the wall and look at all the pretty dresses and try a dessert or something..." Great idea! I'm with you!
Thanks. :D
Hmmm, story ideas are brewing. Where did the Pegasus come from? Why is it helping? Is Cinderella afraid of heights?
DeleteSo many possibilities. Because I need another story idea in my life *sarcasm* too many stories, not enough time.
I know that I would be afraid of heights if I was responsible for staying on a Pegasus while in flight...!
DeleteI know what you mean! So many stories all at once!! Everything and anything can turn into a writing prompt.
Maybe you could write it as a short story.
Now that I have found your blog, I think you might be seeing my comments whenever I can comment because school likes to keep me away from blogs. :-) Is there a way I can follow your blog through blogger or email?
ReplyDelete1. This is a hard question because yard work is fun. I would rather clean house, though, because then I could dust books. :-)
2. I think I would rather have a new dress instead of the ruined one because the new one might be prettier than the ruined dress.
3. A blue dress please!
4. I would rather have my hair pulled back. I don't really like to have my hair down because it gets in my eyes and I don't like that.
5. I would like to go the ball in a coach. I have not ridden in a coach or I have not been in anything that is pulled by a horse, so I think it would be an interesting experience.
6. I don't think I would want to be the belle. I always feel nervous when I'm in the center of attention.
7. I would definitely rather slip on the stairs than sing a duet that everyone had to listen to. If I slipped at the beginning of the evening, hopefully everyone would have forgotten by the end of the evening.
8. I would want to be a fairy godmother.
9. It would be nice if the prince wore blue because if he wore blue and I wore blue, then we would be matching. :-)
10. It would be more romantic if the prince put the slipper on my foot, but I think I would want to put the slipper on my own foot.
Gosh, who needs school anyway?! Haha, just kidding! I would love to hear from you! I'm still getting used to this blog thing, gadgets and such, so thank you for your comment. I have recently, in your honor, :) added both a gadget on my sidebar for followers as well as a follow by email. So, pick your poison. ;)
Delete1. I like how you want to do the housework to dust books. :) I wish that was all there was to housecleaning.
7. I had the same idea.
9. I love in the new Cinderella how Kit's collar is blue like Cinderella's dress.
Well, it was nice to meet you, and I'm glad you played the game!
Haha, you have such delightful answers, Cordy! It was SO much fun to read, and I loved every one of your answers! Oh, and I like Prince Kit in his green coat, he looks very handsome in it. To be perfectly honest, I prefer that one to his blue outfits ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh, yes. That green coat is perfect! :D
What a fun game! I'm really enjoying reading all the answers :-) Here are mine:
ReplyDelete1. Would you rather have to clean the house or work in the yard?
Work in the yard! Every time. I hate housework.
2. Would you rather your fairy godmother create a dress in the place of the ruined one, or restore it to its original form?
I'm a sentimentalist and would probably rather have the original if it meant something to me, like it had been my mother's or was made for me by my friends.
3. Would you rather have a pink or blue dress?
Blue! I'm not fond of most shades of pink, and I look better in blue anyway.
4. Would you rather have your hair pulled up/back or leave it down and styled?
I almost always have my hair pulled back in a braid or a ponytail, so it would be really fun to have it piled high on my head, especially if I'm not the one doing the piling!
5. Would you rather arrive to the ball by coach or horse? (I've seen at least one version where Cinderella used a horse.) Show us an example of your chosen transportation.
I love riding horseback, so I'd probably rather ride.
6. Would you rather be Cinderella, as in the belle of the ball, or simply an attendee of the event?
Hmmmmmmmmmm. As it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'd say I'd like to be Cinderella. Ordinarily, though, I'm more than happy to be on the sidelines.
7. Would you rather sing the duet 'Ten Minutes Ago' with the prince while dancing or slip on the stairs while entering the ball?
That depends on if I knew the words to "Ten Minutes Ago." As it happens, I don't. If I could sing something else, I'd choose singing. It's far more probably that I'd slip on the stairs, though. I'm clumsy.
8. Would you rather, for a movie, be cast as an evil step-sister or the fairy godmother?
Fairy godmother!!!
9. Would you rather your prince wear green or blue?
Well, it depends on the shade. If it was my own personal prince that's upstairs entertaining our children while I play on the computer, then I'd say blue because it brings out the blue in his eyes.
10. Would you rather put the slipper on yourself or do you want the prince to place it on your foot?
I'd pretty much rather do it myself. I'm very protective of my feet.
Thanks for coming up with this! Totally fun questions :-)
Hamlette,
DeleteI loved reading your answers too!
I'm sure the ninth question would have been easier for everyone if they had a prince of their own to reference too. How lucky for you. :)
I'm glad you had fun!
