Title: Is this MLP?
Post by: CrazyCatLady on January 29, 2012, 03:25:17 PM: Small, red, plastic barrette with 2 birds on it. I got it in a lot of ponies from eBay, it was in Cotton Candy's mane.

Here, I found some on etsy:

Everyone is putting birds on it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo) (Sorry but this video is hilarious if you look at a lot of etsy)

Thanks StoryDreamer! I didn't think it looked like MLP, but there are a million other lines it could have belonged to. I never even considered it might be a kid's barrette. Great video, btw.

Post by: MsTwilight on January 29, 2012, 09:28:26 PM: Oh my! So many memories! I had those in yellow and blue! My mom would put them in my hair. I guess a little girl used her barrettes on her ponies.
