Because You're Never Too Old For Your Daddy To Buy You A Pony [Oh, My! Little Pony]

Here's a little music from Ginuwine to get you in the mood for this post (and for a few other things, I'm sure)...



In honor of My Little Pony's 25th birthday and to congratulate me on my new job--because nothing says, "Congrats on your big-girl promotion" quite like a pink plastic pony to call my own--my father mailed me a My Little Pony Decorating Star Catcher pony!

I immediately decided my My Little Pony was a transvestite pony and I named her Lady, accordingly. I love her very much. And here is pictorial proof:

If the look in my eyes doesn't say, "I'm going to love you and take care of you forever," it's probably saying "I'm nothing but trouble and I'm going to do very bad things to you for my own amusement." I often get those sentiments confused. Woe be the man crazy enough to take on the challenge of being loved by me...

But back to Lady! She's not just your average My Little Pony... Lady's got magical heat-sensitive color changing powers!! Just check out this awesome description:

STAR CATCHER pony is the coolest way to make a pony your own! Special ice pens let you stamp or draw to reveal colors on STAR CATCHER pony’s body! Fill the ice pens with water and freeze. When frozen, apply the ice pens to the pony to reveal her colors! Use your warm fingers or a warm washcloth (not included) to turn the pony white again! Decorate her any way you want, as many times as you like.

I was thrilled to try out Lady's awesome color changing properties. But I was too impatient/didn't actually read the info on the box until doing "research" for this post, and did not fully freeze the "ice pens."

And since non-frozen ice is water and water drips on plastic, well...

My little Lady looked like a Pony Land Carrie reenactment:

So much blood! Blooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

The only way to rehabilitate Lady was to put her in the freezer to regulate her temperature!

I gave her a couple nips of the giant bottle of Jagger and tucked her in with the apple pie and frozen squash.

After a few minutes... Lady was magically transformed into a Pink Lady! (Ha...ha ha)

She loves being pink! Just look at her sass the camera!

Lady inspired me to want to take up some My Little Pony modeling myself!


If this picture doesn't scream "I'm fabulous!", it's probably screaming "I'm high on opium!":

More like high on my love for My Little Pony!
