G'Day!

[PernicketyPony]

My name is Pernickety and I'm a pony/fan collector from Melbourne, Australia.

I'm 26 years old and have been collecting ponies for as long as I can remember...although I must be a very slow collector because my herd currently totals only about 50 ponies. It's slowly growing, though.

I collect mainly G1 ponies and almost all of my new acquisitions are online. I always keep an eye out at thrift stores and markets, but to this day I've never been able to find a purchase a G1 pony in real life :-(

Just recently I started a blog as a way of exploring my love of My Little Ponies and sharing it with others. It's essentially a My Little Pony themed fashion and lifestyle blog. You can check it out at www.alltheprettyponies.wordpress.com

If any of you have your own pony blogs (or blogs featuring other cute stuff) please let me know as I'd love to connect with more pony-friendly bloggers.

Also, although my blog is very new and my updates are currently a little slow, I'm hoping to include some more interviews with pony collectors in the future, so if you think you may be interested in sharing your My Little Pony story and photos of yourself and of you collection, please drop me a line!

Hmmm...that was a bit of a long-winded introduction. Oh well! It's goodto be here and I hope to spend a bit of time here and get to know you some of you guys a bit better.

Hi, Pernickety, and welcome to the Arena!

I really enjoyed your blog, especially your trip to Hong Kong!  What a cute idea, to take your pony along and take photos of her in various places.  I may just have to borrow that idea when my DS and I go on holiday...   

Welcome aboard, and I'll look forward to reading more from you!

Welcome!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Tiella: Everyone seems pretty nice so far, so I'm feeling pretty hopeful about making friends :-)

CasseminaPie: Yay! I don't have any pony friends in Melbourne, so I'm super-psyched to have met someone local here!

kiwimlp: Thanks so much for the kind words, Kiwi..and for visiting my blog! As it happens, just last night I put up a post of some outfits inspired by Heart-Throb, so I hope you think it lives up to her standards 

KittyBethy: Cheers!

Sugar.Lightning: Thanks for the compliment! you should definitely bring a pony with you on your next trip...it's so much fun! You get some really interesting looks from some people when they see you wip out the pony for photos, but mostly they just smile. If you do take your pony on holidays, please share the photos with us! I love seeing ponies out and about. I recently saw someone over on the MLPTP share some photos of when they took some ponies with them to Antarctica. Amazing!

mlpfan: No worries, cobber 

teresat: Thanks!
