Personal: Brandi Rae Kaup (find me on Facebook if you like!)
For a long time I've been MysticSunbeam. While I love this persona, it is really based on one of my childhood ponies, and not on ME. So...if someone can help me to figure out how, I would like to change my MLPArena username. I'd like to be SeptemberRose. I am already using the name here and there, but I'm hoping to get all my online personae changed over soon.
How old are you? 34
Where do you live? State, Country? Texas, USA
Do you work or attend school? Profession or major? I took Fashion Design courses in college, but didn't earn a degree. If I had free time, I'd be designing and making stuff. But for now, I'm a stay-at-home mommy of two fantastic little boys. Also, I have a musician profile on myspace if anyone would like to go hear....it's old, but still okay. I'm hoping to get back in the studio and record a new demo sometime soon. :-)
www.myspace.com/blueseptemberroseWho are the important people in your life? My boys! Bear is 7 and Chase will be 5 in just over a week. I live with my parents for now, but we're working on fixing up an old house for me and my boys. I've been divorced for a couple of years, and I have a sweet boyfriend now. He took me to my first MLP Fair this year, and even donned a tail along with me for the occasion!
Ponies:
Which generations of ponies do you collect? G1, G2, G3 or G4?
What made you want to collect ponies?
Tell us about your collection!
As many first gen as I can get my hands on... missing a few store-bought USA ones, many mail offers, and most of the international ones. But a girl can dream. :-) I also have most of the Gen 2 collection MIP, and the entire first 2 years of Gen 3 in packages as well. After that, I became a mommy and couldn't afford to keep up with the releases. I don't collect anything later than Gen3. I have probably one of the most extensive G1 lunch box and sleeping bag collections out there, and I'm pretty close to having all the plushies too (including the UK Pyjama Cases). I love my ponies, but I also love all the merchandising! As for ponies, I still have all my childhood ones, and I also do keep the best one of each pony I find, but I don't mind if they're not mint. I appreciate that they have a history of being loved by someone else before they join my herd. :-)
How long have you been collecting? Briefly stopped playing with ponies around 10 or 11 years old, but then they started popping up in garage sales, and my grandma and I would pick them up. Soon I had over 100 and I have been hooked ever since. I also collect (and/or hoard for trading purposes LOL) practically everything else cute and girly from the 1980s...Little Pretty, Sea-Wees, Shimmers, Princess of Power, Golden Girl, Wonder Whims, Furr-ever Friends, Hugga Bunch, Charmkins, Fairy Tails, Sweet Secrets, Strawberry Shortcake, etc. etc. etc. If you're after something, I just might have it. Finding it is the tricky part! LOL
