I tried to thin it out in 2010: 37%
I plan to cull it in 2011: 31%
I'm just getting started, whaddaya mean cull? 18%
You'll not pry anything from my cold, dead hands 31%
Sometimes I think I will cull 18%
Collection? What collection? 12%
Who you calling "culling"? 6%
Thank you for responding. Thank you for being all over the place...such is what I hoped.
If we are all at different points in our interest / obsession / long term plan, we should be at different points in an arc toward assessing and taming...or not.
An arc which, I think comes back around again.
I'll be sharing the insides of other people's collections throughout 2011; some are chastisingly organized, some are delightfully random. Let me know if you're willing to share pictures of yours--you have the option to use your real name or an alias. :)

Great idea, my inner voyeur rejoices :)
Ooh. I'll send you some pix... if I can manage to take some. They don't tend to come out well on my digital camera - too much glare, focus is wrong, whatevs. I never planned (or claimed) to be a photographer.
And I'm with Marina, my inner voyeur is ridiculously excited.
Marina, my outer voyeur is going to have trouble releasing the photos...making the hidden public and all.... ;)
Muse,
Hooray! Please do. Don't apologize for photo quality; that may add to the voyeur factor you and Marina have referred to... :)
Well, I'll send you photos...but it ain't pretty...
xo
I may be in culling denial.
I want to and I mean to (and actually did over the holidays), but they are soon to be replaced, I'm sure. As you said, the arc comes back again.
As I have already posted pictures on my blog (on 'rearranging day') I will sit back and enjoy the collections of others...if you can bring yourself to release them.
Great idea!
You can have pictures of mine. :) By the time I take them, there will probably be more than is now. :D Just can't help it...
P.S. A good friend (the best kind actually) brought me Ode a la Vanille and Boxeuses from Paris - I can't wait to get my hands on them.
Musette,
Yay! (And, because we've discussed your collection, I happen to know ammo is involved. That'll be a nice flavor.)
Josephine,
An arc like a boomerang, eh?
Thanks for reminding me about your post. Perhaps at one point I'll do a round up links to other postings...they are out there....
Ines,
Oooh, nice. Perfumes straight from Paris. Send my own thanks to your friend; a Paris traveler willing to transport perfume...nice....
Ode a la Vanille has some serious fans--are you one? Recently I've been listening to them busy chattering about whether or not it is going to disappear.
I try to look the other way. I'm trying to maintain a proper voodoo maintaining silence about changes to/disappearance of Chamade...you know, from the house that took away my Guet-Apens in whatever form/name.
Yes, please, send pictures!
I won't be able to send pics until I get home.... I'll see what I can do when I get there.... lol.
I would have voted for "already embarked on culling in 2010" had I been quicker off the mark.
Have pics I am happy to share of my collection - with and without onlooking cat.
Furriner,
No laughing! Send 'em over!
Bonks,
Would love both kinds of pictures. Could be particularly interested in one with the cat expressing an opinion. ;)
Wish I could go back and alter the poll; alas, Blogger keeps me honest...
