G1's

Who is your favorite pony and why?
Scrumptious. She was the first pony I ever owned. I bought her online with a money order. She was almost perfect! Then I lost her head...

Who is your favorite "Nirvana?"
Baby Starbow From the UK So cute!

What are your thoughts on.....
- G1s?Absolute Joy
– G2s? Never really was fond of them.
– G3s? New Love!
- G3.5s or whatever they're being called today? Aliens from beyond the stars!
– Ponyville? Would get sucked up in my vaccum.

How do your family and friends feel about your pony habit...or are you still in the collecting closet? I only have a couple of ponys, so my husband is pretty tolerant

Tell the truth! Do you ever still play with your ponies? I give them baths, and pose them around my flowers <3 Are you a customizer? If not, would you ever?
I've made one, and tried a second but I've never finished it. I enjoy painting, but not rehairing.

Which pony would you rescue in a fire?
Baby Glory!

If you had to have a pony symbol tattooed on your butt which would you pick and why?
Oh wow...Hmm..Sundance because then I could make it into something larger also.

If you had to pick a G1 or G2 to be remade and released with the G3.5 line, who would you choose and why? Hm..I really couldn't imagine any pony being remade and keeping it's self-respect.

Can you leave ponies behind at boot sales/ thrift shops etc, or do you have to rescue them?
I Can, I usually feel bad, but I just don't have enough room.


YOUR COLLECTION

What got you started collecting as an adult?
My Good friend had ponys from her childhood and showed me some online she wanted to buy. I found one i just loved, so we each bought one.

What's your biggest collecting regret?
Not keeping some of my early g3's on card. Like Kimono with her little charm and things like that.

What's the one pony that just seems to elude you?
I'm not really looking for any one pony, so I guess none of them elude me.

What is your favorite pony pose and why?
G1 Shy Pose because it's like "you hoo...Hi there"

Who is your grail pony and why? Do you have it yet?
Baby Starbow. No I don't have her yet, but she's just so cute. all stars and colors.

Do you collect mostly MIP or loose ponies? Why do you prefer that?
Loose, I don't have room for boxes.

Which pony do you secretly carry around in your purse with you?
Baby Glory on bad days. She fits perfect and she has unicorn magic!

Quick! Close your eyes and grab a pony. Who is it and how did you get it? Dream Blue. She was given to me by a collector on the arena <3 BACK IN THE DAY...

Did you have ponies as a kid? If so, how many?
Nah, I don't remember ever having a pony. I grew up after they were in stores.

Did you improve them by giving them haircuts, painting them with glitter polish, or anything else fun?
If I had some, I'm sure they would have been ok, I was careful with my toys.

What's your very first pony memory?
Getting Scrumptious in the mail and taking her over to my friends house for a bath and picnic.

What's a fun or funny memory you have about ponies from when you were little?
I didn't have them when I was little *sad*


THE REAL WORLD

What do you like to do for fun?
I like to paint, play my wii and cook yummy snacks.

Got pets?
Nope
What three places are you dying to see? (NO, Pandora does not count!)
Italy, Any stunning tropical Island, Greece

What are you most proud of?
That I'm Living in a new state and both my husband and I have jobs and we aren't struggling.

FILL IN THE BLANK

I would like other collectors to think of me as.......
A nice pony with a small but cerished collection

I really wish that Hasbro would......
Create boys! We need Genetic Diveristy!

My best thriftstore/fleamarket/garage sale find was....
I haven't even found any ponys in a thrift store!

When I was new, I didn't know any better that...
Deflocking a pony was really as hard as it seemed.

What sets me apart as a collector is....
I have only 2-3 ponys that were all given as gifts.
