Reminiscent of Dr. Hoffman
« on: August 08, 2006, 04:58:24 PM »
As I mentioned the other day in the memorabilia post, I've been putting together a Dark Shadows themed (Italian) link bracelet over the last couple of years.  Since charms specific to DS are almost impossible to come by, most of the links relate to the characters in a symbolic way.  For instance - a victrola representing Quentin, Phoenix for Laura, etc.

I want to add something to represent Julia and thought I'd get a consensus from the board.  So, other than Barnabas in a rage - what item do you think best screams JOOOLIA!?

Suggestions not included above are also welcome.

I think Julia's hypnotic medallion best symbolizes her, but since a charm like that would be hard to come by, I voted for the hypodermic needle.

Well, if I have to pick just one, because all your choices listed are excellant, I'd say pills to represent all the sedatives she gave out.  She seemed to have a bag full of those.  Just call her "Dr. Feelgood"!!   ;D

BTW, was watching an ep the other night when [spoiler]Julia is giving Maggie another blood transfusion because the vampire is calling her, and she seems to 'just happen' to have a pint of blood handy!  Where the hell did she go for that, and what pray tell did she tell the person she got it from?  "Um, yes, I need a...<cough-cough> pint of blood because the governess at Collinwood has been repeatedly attacked by a vampire!"   ;D[/spoiler]

Whenever I see a "doctors bag", Fisher-Price ones, a movie or even at a flea market, I think of "Dr. Julia Hoffman".  She carried everything in there.

I chose the black medical bag.  She seemed to always keep one handy, even in 1840.

All the choices were great, I had difficulty selecting only one. But since I had to choose, I decided on pills, because it always seems like she's prescribing them to people.

My second choice would be a medical bag, they just make me think of doctors in general.

Maybe she should give a love pill to Barnabas so he'll finally get a clue! :)

Well, it looks like it's the black doctor's bag by a nose.  Thanks to all who voted and commented.  I may have more polls in the future concerning symbols for a few of the other characters...bet you just can't wait!   ;)

ProfStokes - really loved your idea about the medallion!  How cool would that one be not to mention a perfect symbol for Julia!
