It’s Never Too Late to Have a Happy Childhood

Sweetie Belle, With 'Do, originally uploaded by Madame Meow.

I always wanted a My Little Pony.

Yes, the tv episode plots were thin and the ponies were high maintenance and kind of dumb. But there was a magical moment when a friend would lend you her pony and it was just you and that little silky plastic shiny mane and a tiny little comb communing.

It seems some twenty-five years later, I've finally gotten my wish to have my own little silly plastic figurine of my own.

And you know what?

It was worth the wait.

I hope you've had a very Merry Christmas, if you should celebrate it, and that somewhere along the line you had a magical moment all your own.

My sister and I had about 25 My Little Ponies between us… they were always our FAVORITE toys.
In fact, that might just be the perfect stocking stuffer for her next year… 😉

Oh I loved My Little Ponies. I had the perm parlor and used to perm their hair. This was such a pleasant trip down memory lane. The magic of a simple photo. Enjoy your new acquisition!

I loved My Little Ponies all those years ago. And now your lovely picture makes me kind of want one again. My daughter is going to think I’m nuts.
