Hi! I'm a G4 customizer and collector, so I wanted to join in on the forum to get advice and improve beyond the level I've been able to get to so far. I originally registered last year, but got distracted with school and planning a wedding. Here's some personal information that was suggested to provide!
How old are you?: 25
Where do you live?: Indianapolis, Indiana
Do you work or attend school? Profession or major?: I am about to graduate with my Masters in Social Work this May. I'll be working as mental health professional and therapist. My ultimate goal is to obtain my Licensed Clinical Social Worker certification.
Who are the important people in your life?: I live with my husband and two best guy friends. We're all G4 fans and collectors! Between the 4 of us we have 3 cats; Kwazii (my husband's and my cat), Fuku, and Rybek.
Ponies: I have almost all of the available G4 ponies (all of the ponies from the show and a few randoms) and have made a Pipsqueek, Pinkamena, Pokie Pierce (for my friend), Surprise (for my friend) and Future Twilight. I'm very into styling their hair, and I've gotten pretty good at it over the years thanks to online tutorials and much practice. I am also working on making Fleur di Lis, Sombra, Nurse Redheart, Radiance, Fausticorn, Screw Loose, Maud Pie and some OCs. I tend to stop a project after rehairing, as I get nervous about painting cutie marks.
As I child I collected G1 as well, so I have quite a few, but they aren't displayed or part of projects like my G4s.
How long have you been collecting?: I've had G1s since before I can remember, but I've had and worked on G4s since Fall of 2011.
What made you want to collect ponies?: I love the G4 show and there aren't a lot of fandoms that provide so much lovable merchandise. I really got into collecting when I realized I could make everyone's hair look pretty show accurate.
My OC: As a G4 fan, of course I have and SI OC. lol Her name is Dr. Maslyn and she is a therapist in non-canon Ponyville. Her cutie mark is the symbol for psychology.
