In the 80's, yes, you can sail the seven seas! Cultural Crossover with Ponies
« on: March 08, 2014, 02:16:18 PM »
Notice how much a group of the G1 Big Brother Ponies look like the Village People?  What other cultural icons do the ponies of that time remind you of the 80s?

Hahaha! Great stuff!

Cherries Jubilee and Pina Colada are both quintessential 80s cocktails.

And those Prom Queen SHS perms!

A few of the European sets are very 80s to me: the Great hair pair, the Hairdo ponies (man, there's something about the 80s and crazy hair!), and the Rollerskate ponies!

Oh geez...  :shocked:

What is weirder is I was listening to Village People when I came across this.

In summer I started a thread about how much I thought my salon fresh NSS Shady looks like George Michael in the 80s :) I think it was called Club Tropicana

The colors of the Rockin' Beats ponies and their "edgy" guitar brushes make me howl every time i see them. The symbols on the Color Swirl ponies are kind of the pointless 80's geometric weirdness going on. The neon colors on some of the ponies, lie Surprise, and the Sidewalk Surfer outfit, Flashprance, Havin' a Luau, City Kids Pony wear...the Pony-naut costume just reeks of cold war Americanism, with the US flag boldly printed on the shoulder! Yeah. Even our ponies are Patriotic, dammit! :D

BA-hahahahaha!!
The only thing that'd make this better is if they both had black lace fingerless gloves and a million gummy bracelets on one arm. And a Swatch.
