Old Childhood ponies given new life?

[kissthethunder]

I love picture topics ^o^

Today, inspired by the Tootie Tails POTD thread from a couple days ago, I took my childhood girl down for some loving. I have encountered stubborn frizz in the past, but I confess, this was my third time taking a curling iron to it, and this session, was over an hour long. In the end, I had to use my heated brush on her hair DRY in order for it to get even slightly smooth enough to be curled.

When I was a kid, I thought all ponies needed forelocks, I thought they looked better. Also her tail has been cut and her nondisplay sides symbol (the pineapple) has faded to almost white.

I just wanted to make her look good again...so...PERM!!!!!! I was so going for an 80's look here

I also took my sisters old Peachie out a few weeks ago. She was the first pony we had <3 Old, missing hair plugs, chewed on with coarse thin hair, this girl will never leave my heard <3 I gave her a shawl that my grandmother knitted for our Barbies before she died, and put her aged hair up in a bun. <3

Tootie Tails looks great! The hair style and bow fit her, she looks like an 80's girl anyway with the bright colors and bright eye makeup Reminds me of Jem and the Holograms *love*

When I get some money in I plan on getting some Dollyhair and rehairing my sister's childhood Firefly she gave me My friend in the UK gave me her childhood Gusty and she's in the process of being sunfaded and will be getting a rehairing as well! So mine her all a WIP right now, hehe

Aw, Peachy is adorable!  And Tootie looks great!  I haven't done much to mine, really. I took fairly good care of mine.  But my childhood Surprise got a tail transplant, since I had cut hers when I was a kid.  (For some reason, her tail being long annoyed me.  Only on her!)  I gave the short tail to a Baby Surprise I got who had a bad haircut, and made him a boy.

Alas I dont have any of my childhood ponies - unless a Cotton Candy pj case counts!

But I love what you have done with Tooties hair! Very 80s!

Pretty ponies!

I have a project I have been doing forever: rerooting my childhood Waverunner. I have the hair ready (even some nice UV reactive hair for her) but I just haven't managed to get started, even though I find rerooting fun and it wouldn't take long  Maybe I'll be inspired by this thread and finish her during the weekend. She has been bald for over 1 ½ years so it would be great to have her finally ready.

While I had no ponies as a kid (I mostly got hand-me-down toys from cousins because my mom couldn't afford many), Lemon Drop would have been #1 on my wish list then. My first (I say first because I need another!) was sticky-bodied & smelly when I got her.  I scrubbed her up & she's stayed matte for awhile now. As you can see, her head & body are 2 different colors & she's regrinding, but I still love her. I made her a necklace (so she doesn't have to be self-conscious about her tan line ) & prettied her hair.
