Competed in a horse show today!  My friend came to watch which was really fun and I was super happy with how my horse went!  He was a very good boy in all of our classes and the judge liked him a lot so that was nice.

The Dollhouse / Cleaning Vintage Barbies?
« on: July 26, 2023, 11:43:23 AM »
Hello all!  I recently got inspired by the Barbie Movie and took my mom's 1962 Barbie and Midge out of storage.  I'd been meaning to retrieve them for a while since I do have a small doll collection and just love vintage toys in general.  Unfortunately, due to some paper pamphlets and such disintegrating in the box, these two ladies are looking a bit grubby despite being stored safely in a doll carry case.  There also seems to have been some mildew that happened at some point, even though it doesn't smell like it's still "active" mildew (does that even make sense?  hopefully :P).  Unfortunately the mildew type stuff also seems to have gotten at their original cardboard boxes.  So I really want to get them (and their clothes, they have what they're wearing plus TONS of other clothes in the carry case) cleaned up.

While I am pretty confident cleaning up MLPs at this point, vintage Barbies are new to me!  So I was hoping someone here may have some vintage Barbie tips, or be able to point me in the direction of some reliable Barbie resources that I can utilize.

My main concerns are...

1. How delicate is the face paint (plus finger nail and toe nail paint)?  How can I was them without damaging their paint?
2. The hair!  Barbie in particular has her original hair style basically perfectly intact.  How can I make sure I don't mess this up while cleaning?
3.  What is the best procedure for cleaning the clothes?
4.  Is there anything to be done about the mildew on the boxes?  They aren't wet or stinky or anything.  I'd love to salvage these if even remotely possible.

Here are some pictures of them!!

Introductions / Long Time No See!
« on: July 25, 2023, 11:57:27 AM »
Hello all!  After a rather long hiatus, I am back!  Not quite sure why I left in the first place to be honest  :P

I think it probably had to do with needing to put quite a few of my ponies into storage since I was running out of display room, and then I suppose it was a case of out of sight, out of mind!  Lately, though, I've been feeling the urge to start collecting more ponies again (and I did actually get some fun new MLP additions a few weeks ago, guess I should post a brag!).  Plus my dad recently found a BUNCH of G1s in their original carry case at a flea market, so I am looking forward to giving those ponies a spa day.  So with all these new ponies joining the herd, it made me want to check the arena again!  It is SO nice to still see a bunch of usernames I recognize posting!

Anyway, you can call me Penny!  I collect all generations but mainly focus on G3 and G1.  I grew up with G3 and started collecting G1 around the time I graduated high school.  Now I'm in my mid/late 20s and have built up a pretty solid herd over the years between my childhood collection and ponies I've gotten since.

Outside of MLP, my collections are model horses, plushies, and some dolls as well.  I am quite involved in the model horse hobby, including live showing! 

My biggest passion is horses and I am lucky to own two.  I have a semi-retired mare and a gelding I share with my mom.  The gelding is my main ride, and I also love to compete with him!  I still love riding my mare, too, we just take things easier than we used to.  I love animals in general and also have dogs and cats who I adore!

Pony Corral / Re: Anyone else have G3's that are going sticky already?

I have a Piccolo who has been going sticky for a while!  It's unfortunate because she's so pretty, and she's also special since I got her at Disney World.  Mine's stickiness was likely accelerated by spending too much time stored near a sunny window.

Off Topic / Re: Early Bird or Night Owl?
« on: June 19, 2018, 05:46:39 PM »
I'm very much an early bird!  I wake up nearly every morning between 6:00 and 6:30 without an alarm.  When I do set an alarm, I always beat it by at least a couple of minutes!  I physically cannot sleep past 8:00am unless I am completely and absolutely exhausted, and I haven't slept past nine in over four years hahahaha  My current job involves early mornings, so it suits me well. 

The flip side is that I have a lot of trouble staying up late unless I'm up and doing something.  My friends have so many pictures of me falling asleep on their shoulders from trying to watch a movie at night or something.  The main issue is I start getting tired around 9:30pm, and I'll often fall asleep in the middle of whatever I'm doing starting at around 10:00pm.  Then I'll stay asleep until around 11:30 or so, wake up, and then feel "rested" so I'll end up staying up later than I should and then I kick off the whole cycle again.  One of my close friends is a major night owl so it drives him bonkers because he'll often text me at around 9:30 wanting to pick me up and go for a drive or something and I'll have already been in my pajamas for ages haha

Pony Corral / Re: Before you knew their correct names-!
« on: May 15, 2018, 05:52:39 PM »
When I was a kid, I was absolutely positive that Pink Sunsparkle was Princess Sunsparkle (I remember reading it on the box but I was obviously incorrect).  I guess that she lived in a castle just backed up my assumption!  In high school I saw one listed on eBay and thought they had the name wrong, until I searched "Princess Sunsparkle" and everything that came up was "Pink Sunsparkle"!  I was kind of shocked and very confused hahahahaha  :P

I have to catch myself whenever I need to type her name out because to me she will always be Princess Sunsparkle hahaha
