Over the past couple of months, I've been trying to stay away from making customs because they never turn out right for me. I want to try again, but, I have one super huge question... How on earth do you get the symbols to look so darn smooth? I have seen some super amazing customs on here, and a lot of the time the symbols look like they are factory done! How?! How on earth do you manage this? Mine always come out super lumpy... Does it have to do with the paint you use? The brush? Or maybe the sealant? I would love some help! Twis

About three months ago, I bought a pair of Dr. Dre beats with my Christmas money, because my boyfriend and his friends all recommended them. I looove these headphones. Now, for a couple of months, I've been wanting to paint some kind of design on them (probably incorporating my pony-sona and maybe my fursona in the design). I am a bit nervous about this, though. What do you think? I don't plan on re-selling them at any point, but do you think its a good or bad idea? Twis

So after a break from buying ponies (I was saving up for a trip to Utah to visit my boyfriend), I decided it was high time I start adding to my herd again! I have a couple more ponies on the way, but these are the ones I have received in the past week or so: Three of the four CF Collector ponies I needed to finish my original 6 set... visitors can't see pics , please register or loginBut wait... what's wrong with Bluebelle's hair...? o3o Turns out she is a No-Country/Argie! It was a pleasant surprise, but, I am not interested in collecting Argies, so she will probably go up for sale or trade if anyone is interested.  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI also recieved my first Winger pony, Little Flitter, and boy am I in love! she is so cute, and I love her to pieces. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI also purchased two TAF ponies, Dancing Butterflies and Up Up and Away. I as sooo happy to have them! I am also pleased with how DB's hair turned out! I am usually not the best pony hair stylist, but I love how I managed to style her's! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd, my new So Soft Ponies! Four of my first ponies were So Softs, and I (stupidly) traded three of them away, thinking I would never want to collect them. I could just kick myself! They were in pretty good condition, too...  But, I am very happy with my new girls! Bangles (who has the nicest hair out of anyone in my herd! o3o), Shady, North Star, Wind Whistler, and Buttons. c: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd, of course, a group shot... visitors can't see pics , please register or loginMy boyfriend also told me he purchased a Thermos with TAF ponies on it for me...  Pictures when it arrives. Hehe. Thanks for reading, Twis

So, last night I was talking to one of my best friends, and for some reason or another he brought up the sight "creepy pasta". I had read one or two stories on there before that other people had sent me. They weren't very scary. We talked about the site for a while, and I decided to look around it some more. Now, I am a huge scaredy cat, so that was an awful idea. I didn't sleep at all last night! I huddled under my covers and texted people until dawn. And for some reason, I can't stop myself from reading more. A lot of the stories are interesting, and some and really well written in my opinion.
Has anyone else been to this site? What do you think of it? What stories did you like, or which ones would you recommend?

Hello! I was told that I might have more luck asking on the Nirvana forum, so here goes...Today I received a CF Bluebelle along with a couple other pones. As I was washing her, I noticed a few weird characteristics. First off, she didn't have "Hong Kong" or "china" or any other country on the bottom of her hooves! It just says " 82 Hasbro Pat pend" on her front right hoof (left if you're facing her, haha). Secondly, her eyes are painted kind of strangely, and look to be smaller than a normal CP pony's eyes. The eyelashes look a bit longer, and some of the black outline is inside the indent instead of along the edge or inner rim. They look a bit sloppy in general. And last but not least, she doesn't have a forelock! And it definitely wasn't trimmed/pulled out/etc. There aren't any holes. Both her lines of hair are the same length. I will add pictures in a few minutes.Is she a factory error or something? Or in she a variant from a different country? Thanks for your help! ~Twis No country! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginMy camera isn't co-operating right now, so i can't get a good picture of her eyes, but here's a slightly blurry one of her mane and left eye. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd, a picture of her symbol visitors can't see pics , please register or login

NO COUNTRY CONCAVE FOOT BLUEBELLE:Hello! I recently bought a Bluebelle that turned out to be a No Country pony. I have asked in the Nirvana forum, and most seem to agree that she is an Argie... There are some differences between her and the Argie pictures I have seen, though. Her eyes appear to be quite different. Now, I personally am not a Nirvana collector, and I have no real interest in keeping her. I want her to be able to go to a home where she will be appreciated. She is not in perfect shape-- She has some rubbing her her symbols and eyes, and there is a small amount of red paint on her feet (I have managed to remove most of it, so I know it can be removed). Her feet are also "lumpy" and around her hooves in uneven. which is a factory error. Specifically, I am looking to trade her for a US CF Minty and US CF Bluebelle so I can finish my CF Original Six collection. If you are interested in her and don't have these ponies up for trade, I would be willing to trade for any ponies in my Want list (link below), or even sell her. Make an offer. ^_^ Trade pending! thanks, Nancy. c:Hello all! Here is a list of the ponies I currently have for trade or sale. I am trying to give them all baths and get their pictures uploaded. If you are interested in a pony, please ask and I can get you a picture. I have tried to price them according to the e-bay price guide, with what i think if a fair amount based on their condition and the average e-bay price. I am not firm on price/trade value, though, so feel free to make me an offer! ^^ My "asking price" is also their approximate trade value. If you would like to trade, I would be more than happy to do a 1:1 trade, even if I'm receiving a common, as long as it is on my wishlist. Shipping price is $3 for the first pony and $1 for each additional pony. Here is my wishlist: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,287903.0.html G1: Royal Pink: Near mint! Only flaws are a small black (pen?) dot on her face near her nose, and her legs are a little wonky. She can still stand fine though. She also has her cape! Asking $11 Royal Purple: Near mint! I cannot find any flaws. Has her cape as well. Asking $12 Fire-fly: Good/Very good. No huge flaws. She has a small forelock trim and a bit of factory glue on her neck. Also some wear to her symbols. Asking $3 Sparkler: Good/very good. Mane and tail a bit dry. May be able to fix with some good conditioner and/or a flat iron. A bit of wear to her DS symbols. Asking $4 TAF Sundance: Good. Hair is dry (but the colour-change streak still works). A couple of small marks on her body. Small blue mark on forehead. Rub to DS eye. Asking $3.
Skyflier 1: Fair. Various marks on body, although they could clean up with some elbow grease. I will giver her another bath and see what i can do. Hair a bit dry. Dark marks (paint?) on neck and front hoof. Also "K C" written on back hooves in marker. Symbol wear. Asking $1. Traded Skyflier 2: Good. What looks like eyeshadow above her eyes. Small dot of paint on her neck. Tail pretty soft. asking $4. Medley: Very good. Hair a bit dry. Small marker mark under her wing (not visible on display). Other-wise excellent. Asking $5. Sold Confetti: Poor/Fair. Off-colour, dry hair, various cancer spots on her head and neck. In need of some TLC or a huge makeover. Asking $2. Traded
Seashell: Poor/bait. Dicoloured in some spots, all-over faded, and is almost bald. Good candidate for a restore or for bait. Asking $1. Traded June Birthflower: Good. mane and tail trims. Otherwise near flawless. Make me an offer? I'm not sure what she's worth. BnG Princess Glittering Gem: Near mint! One small red mark on her neck. Otherwise flawless! Mechanism works great! Asking $10. BnG Princess Skylark:Very good. Body in good condition, no hair cuts. A couple small marks on her DS front leg and NDS symbol. Her tail mechanism only works for about the first inch of her tail. Asking $5. BnG Princess Star Gleamer: Very good. Mane and tail cut. Dark mark on DS neck (covered by hair) and s small blue mark on her NDS rear leg. Tail mechanism works great! Asking $8. G3 (all are in Very Good or Near Mint condition unless otherwise noted): Cheerilee: MIP. She is the "name on leg" version, and her box says MLP 25th birthday celebration. Make offer? I have no idea what she's worth, but I would guess around $6? Tira-mi-su Snow Glo Moondancer (diva) Butterscotch More coming soon! c:
