What ho! I know this is a bit random, but my mother just bought a pair of purple heliotrope pyjamas, and I wanted to share my fangirl squee. I actually did ask her whether she bought them because of Bertie. Sadly, the answer was no.

Does anyone else have Jeeves and Wooster related items? Cow creamers, Alpine hats, spats in the old Etonian colours? :p Or is it just me? xx

I bought a white straw boater (if that's the right word) because it looked to me like something Bertie would wear.

I don't have anything like that, but I'd love some heliotrope pyjamas.

I recall having bought a jacket with tails, a bowler, and a reserved black tie in order to parade around downtown in Jeevesian fashion. Sadly, this did not provoke nearly as much comment as the days when I used to go about dressed as Boy George.

Hmm, what could it be. Ah, it's hardly anything at all, but my tea kettle is a plain steel one, not electric, a chum to the one Bertie was struggling to tame in the series. :P I'd gladly fill my home with early 20th century (-like?) objects, whatever loveliness it might be. Though instead of pinching stuff from the charming world of J&W, somehow making my way there and not going back would have been so much better. :D Mmmm.

Well, I sort of live in a house full of antiques, and although most of them are from the 1950s I also have quite a selection growing of Great War-era thingamajiggers... My mother has a cow creamer, and every time I go back home to visit I sort of want to steal it.

...Even though it is hideously ugly

I do own several cocktailglasses and a service trolley from the 20s (Now that I think about it the trolley might be a bit 30/40ish...). There is also a nice set of quill, letter opener and graphitmine holder my mother in law gave me for giving her a grand daughter and a necklace with galvanised bugs. Seems that was quite a thing to do back then... a bit gross when you think about it, but I love'em!

Partner and I have matching Jeevesian hats. They're both black pinstripe, I've got a fedora and she an Irish tweed cap.
I'm still deciding if it's cute or obnoxious to have matching hats that go with your favourite fandom, but she's too sweet in that cap. ^_^

I have a walking stick. It's not actually sturdy enough to lean on, but it sure looks nice in the umbrella stand. I'm afraid the umbrella stand is pseudo-Victorian, however.

Wife has been threatening to get rid of my rather spiffing ties. I'm really wanting a whangee.

Oh! I'd forgotten all about my whangee; we were out antiquing somewhere in upstate New York, and there just happened to be the loveliest little bamboo cane sitting inside an elephant's-foot umbrella-stand just inside the door. I was so utterly taken with it, and so disappointed not to find a price tag upon it, that the proprietor told me to just walk off with it.

I once chose a new set of cutlery (flatware to Americans, right?) based upon what I thought Bertie would have. Actually, every buying decision is based upon what is closest to what I think Bertie would have. Notepaper, pens, shoes, trousers, haircut (yes, HAIRCUT) umbrella (which I never need, since I'm in Idaho).

I don't actually parade around looking like someone who's trying to look like Bertie Wooster, I don't think. I suspect I just look a bit tomboyish (or perhaps dykey) in a smartly dressed sort of way. But I do spend most of my time fantasising that I am Bertie Wooster (pretty insane, I suppose), and while I don't mind much whether I look the part or not, I always want to feel as though I look the part.

I have been hunting high and low for a decent cow creamer. There are plenty of white ceramic ones out there, but I'm on the lookout for a silver one.

I'd kill for a pair of Etonian spats, lol, but I'll make do with the bowler hat I have for now :)

Oooh, I have a grey fedora that is exactly the same as Bertie wears in the show. The best bit is that it was passed down to me from my grandfather and made in the 1920s. How cool is that?
Apropos of nothing, Jeeves's head is massive! I thought I had a big head, but I'm nowhere near a size 10. Ha.
