thank you both so much!
i went out to find the aforementioned curler and could only find the same make in 1" instead of 1/4 inch.... think it should still work out?
got some unscented lotion to test the process on a bait pony with tinsel and then a bait without. will report back with results as soon as i can!!

They make mini flat irons for short hair as well, that's what I use on my ponies and it works pretty great (the lowest temp on mine is like 200 though so I use a lot of moisture/conditioner to keep the hair from getting too hot).

I don't know of any offhand, but that sounds like a fun idea!  Maybe at some point I'll run a Discord event and play pony shows or something.  (If I do, I'll post about it on the board or on my Tumblr.)

That sounds like fun! :)

This is fishy af.  The fact that she also sells ponies is a huge red flag for being a possible scammer, to me.  Keep an eye on her sales in the future, and report her to ebay if she posts the ponies you sent her. 

From my experience with ebay, they'll probably end up making you do a half refund, even if the buyer refuses to provide any proof of their claims.

She's the only one of the mane six I don't have, mostly because I only get ponies from thrift stores and she's never popped up for me.  At one point I was hoping to collect the "perfect" version of each of the main characters, but having fallen out of love with FiM I'm now getting rid of all the G4 figures I have (except RD & Fluttershy since they were my wedding cake toppers).

I will forever and always stand by the opinion that there is no such thing as being too old for trick or treating!  I stopped for a long time after high school, but then in my late twenties I realized that living life by other people's arbitrary rules isn't much fun - I love dressing up for Halloween, but I don't like bars and there's not much else on Halloween for adults. 

As long as you make it fun for the people whose door you're knocking on, trick or treating should be for everyone!  I love doing things that get people in on a joke or a story.  My favorite year was when a trio of us dressed as Red Riding Hood, the wolf, and the huntsman and went to the houses individually with Red Riding hood knocking on the door and asking if they knew where Grandma's house is, the wolf knocking and asking if they'd seen a girl in a red hood, then I was the huntsman asking where the wolf went, "'cause I think he ate my elderly neighbor and that is just not right."  Somebody having a party gave me a Coors Light - the "silver bullet" - instead of candy, hehe.

I like to alternate years of giving and asking for candy, just to keep a sort of karmic balance.  This year I was planning on doing a two-person party with my husband on our balcony and tossing (sanitized) candy down to trick or treaters from above, but it doesn't seem like there's going to be many people out this year so we might just buy our own candy and watch scary movies or something. :/

Pony Corral / Re: Has Friendship is Magic impacted you in any way?
« on: October 11, 2020, 08:58:35 AM »
It's complicated for me. G1 was my childhood and I started collecting ponies as an adult during G3, then I met my husband virtually right around the time that FiM debuted. The show was genuinely great in the beginning and it became something that we bonded over; we were 2000 miles apart and watching FiM was a perfect way to hang out and have something to be into together. There was a period of time before the fandom got visibly gross that it was just fun and almost kinda cool to be into it. I even bought him and a friend brony shirts.

I was so excited that FiM was bringing ponies back into the mainstream, in a way that people of all genders and ages were into, and it was so cool to share this love that I've had my whole life with my partner. When we got married in 2011, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were our wedding cake toppers.  When we had to separate again, my husband would read FiM fanfic to me as bedtime stories.

9 years later and the brony shirt is relegated to the pajamas drawer, and the thing that we loved together is  forever tarnished by 4channers and Hasbro's relentless pandering to white male money.

Tldr; Lauren Faust did an awesome thing that I connected with my husband over. And then certain fans ruined it for everyone. Really sad.

She's lovely, and perfect for October. Not a set that I'm collecting though, my pockets are not that deep, heh.

It depends on the game.  Also, do you finish the game by the end of the video or is the video part of a series?
