I thought she must be a collector.. I said "Are you a member of the Arena?" she said "I'm a Christian!" and stormed off...
lol i've had several "pre-buying interviews" from kids selling their toys lolmy favorite was last year, early spring ans it was still rather chilly so i was still wearing my leather trenchcoat, i wear black (because i like it and as an artist i know it represents the absorption of ALL colored light and therefore it's my fav so i don't have to choose lmao) i have black leather boots witht he silver spikes and studs, a hat that is plastered with pins/buttons and i stumble upon this random really early season moving sale so i stop and i'm looking around and i see the toys ... soooo many toys ... g3 ponies/g2 lps/GOOD (non-sports crap) mcfarlane toys just all sorts of amzing toys so i'm looking and the mom comes out and we start chatting while i'm looking and then the two kids are looking at me through the door and the little girl busts out through it."You buyin my toys?""... i might ... i see you guys took really good care of em ...""Yeah! You aren't gonna feed em to a monster are you!?"*at that point I litereally laughed and asked her mom if i could show them some pictures on my phone, so mom comes over to see em too and i'm showing them pictures of my collection room and my pony room and the kids' eyes are bugging out of their heads*"YOU CAN HAVE ALL MY PONIES CAUSE I DON'T WANT EM TO GET EATEN!"and i got the mom to let her son keep some of the figures he had up for sale because some of em were pretty amazingly hard to find and worth a LOT more than they had em marked for ... still kicking myself hardcore i didn't snatch up the 24 inch red mandarin spawn figure ... urg ... i get sick when i think of that one ... :\and one year i actually had a sit down conversation with a little girl about her ponies and how i had to promise to take care of them and feed them and brush them and play with them and if she ever wanted them back i had to let her buy them back lol pure adorable! lol

I guess we're all members of some pony cult now?
Something similar happened to me once. I started getting hardcore into collecting when the G3's first came out. I was pretty darned goth looking at the time (head to toe black, everything pierced etc)I was at the store and noticed a woman digging furiously though the ponies. I thought she must be a collector.. I said "Are you a member of the Arena?" she said "I'm a Christian!" and stormed off...
Oh well, it's better to laugh it off rather than get offended
I have really, really long dark blonde hair and I live on an island with a white minority, so kids often stare at me and my hair like I just stepped out of the movie Tangled. Alot of times they want to touch it to.
