My favorite color is black. it used to be black and red when I was a teenager, but at some point It became Black and purple. I picked black but I think purple is almost tied with black as my favorite.

I wonder if its normal for your favorite color/s to change?

Normal to change my or anyone's favourite colour? How do you mean?

I think she meant "changing your mind" about a favourite. like... having blue as your favourite, but some time later realising you like green more, so switching your favourite to green.

I think it's normal. we change, and things, circumstances around us also change. you realise things, you learn about new (and possibly more to your liking) things... if your favourite band, pony or anything can change, why your favourite colour couldn't?

today I picked up a pony lot I won earlier on a local auction site. it included 5 fakies I knew I won't need, and I planned to re-sell them. however, one of them isn't quite re-sellable I'm afraid.
the problem is that her body is sticky all over at first I hoped it's only some surface stickiness, so I gave her a good bath (just as to the others), and it seemed to have disappeared, however, just as she dried she became all sticky again. I'm afraid it's because of the bad quality material she's made of, maybe some component of the plastic is oozing out of her

question one: have you ever seen something like this? do you know a possible cure for her?

question two: if not, what would you do with her? I'm sure sticky like this I'm not willing to sell or even give her to anyone, she's not really "playable" like this. her body is just too soft, so I doubt it would be possible to make a custom out of her. on the other hand, her hair is in a rather nice condition, so I thought of saving that, and throwing the body away. but ehm... it just seems so cruel (although a bit less cruel than throwing the whole poor thing out, because this way at least partially she can "serve for good")
I also thought of keeping her, but I don't really collect G3 fakies (nor G3s), so I don't have much interest in her collectionwise, in addition, I'm already having a hard time thinking where and how to store her not to make things that get in contact with her sticky

many thanks in addition for any kind of advice!

thank you, again, everyone! ^^
oh, and sorry for making you cry xkelpiex 

again, thank you for the informative answers ^^

pinkkittywinks: that's exactly what I did after I realised this girl was hiding there all along but unfortunately no, no more nirvanas (or at least not here. I didn't get to my childhood ponies and those who still live in my father's house, so chances are still there, although I doubt I'll find someone else. that would be just too much luck ).

oh well. I think I'll just get her a ribbon that matches her colours then, and if someday I'll see one that has its original I'll switch to one similar to that ^^

EDIT, 2012-06-28, 15:15: okay, talking about no more surprise nirvanas for me: I just got an unexpected Italian Starshine in a lot

oh my, they look so beautiful! you've done a really nice work here, no wonder StarFaerie loved them 
and yeah, Silver Swirl is a lovely pony <3 I wish I had her (I only have her McDonalds figure)...

thanks for the answer shelti! 
so she can be English and her eyes... well, at least she's unique ^^ I never minded them, I just was eager to find out how this happened.

no problem I hope someone else who has seen one or owns one may come and help, I'd really like to give her a ribbon that matches her original

aww, they are so lovely! congratulations on completing the set! ^^

okay, so sometime last week I realised I have a Macau Lemondrop
it all started with me browsing the forums and reading random stuff when in one of the topics I found something mentioned I didn't understand. the term was "bleeding symbol", and it got me curious enough, so I searched for it. when I found out what it means I also found that this is something that is more common among some ponies, I read on and on and on, looked at pictures, and finally I just got too suspicious and went straight to the room where my ponies are located, and picked my Lemondrop up to find "Macau" written on her back right leg
this was kind of a shock, by that time I never realised she's this special. she was always special for me because of her lovely long and full hair which is unusual compared to other ponies I have (plus, she's yellow-purple. I have a soft spot for yellow-bodies, purple-haired ponies), but before this I didn't know what might have caused her unusual hair.
(I didn't like her bleeding symbol that much though, but hey, you can't wish for too much )

I'm pretty much wondering how she ended up here. I got her second hand in a lot some years ago. I've read it somewhere that Macau ponies are a bit more common in Germany, and as Hungary is not far from Germany we do have much stuff coming from there, however the shop I bought this girl at sells second hand stuff imported from England. did Macau ponies occasionally show up on English shelves, or do I have a little traveller here whose English home wasn't the first country she lived at already?

ah, also, do you know what coloured ribbon she had back when she had one? I couldn't find a picture showing that, and I'd really like to find it out and get her one - I think she deserves one

there's another strange thing about her (the one I mentioned in the title of the topic): her eyes seem to be a bit... uneven O_o I mean, her left and right eye doesn't look the same, one of them seems to have more black in it than the other - just like she only had time to use eyeliner on one eye
I tried to take some pics of them (they are crappy, I know, sorry for that, but I hope you see what I mean):
