here_inmyheadMy Little Pony Fair and Convention 2012
Man, there's no way I'd be able to go. :P Unlike Bronycon which centers primarily around G4 and FiM (mainly the latter), My Little Pony Fair is the place to go if you're a collector. Probably for the best since I'd be broke in a millisecond anyway. I'LL BE DROWNING IN PONIES AND IT STILL WON'T BE ENOUGH.
I've been thinking of styling the hair of my G4 ponies, since I found nifty tutorials on getting cartoon hair such as Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie. I wanted to make my HasbrOCs pretty too, so they'd have personalities and headcanons outside being expies of the Mane 6. Only one problem though... I was never exactly a fashionista growing up. When I was little, I didn't care about doing crazy things to doll's hair, since I'd basically comb it a couple times then leave it wild. While I've had my hair braided sometimes and it was awesome (I love having braids. ;;), I don't know how to braid myself. So being a hairstylist for my own ponies? Awkwaaaaaard. Practice makes perfect and all, but I'm terrified about cutting hair. I don't want to accidentally mutilate my ponies. :( I'm also torn between letting Blossomforth keep her gorgeous locks or cut that beauty away just so she'd look more like Blossomforth in the show. Aaaaaaaaugh, decisions decisions. I love Blossomforth's long hair, I don't want to chop it off. I want her to be more like Shaymin. *sob*

Date: 2012-07-03 10:41 pm (UTC)I feel like I have mastered accidental hairstyles. I unboxed Twinkleshine last week, and briefly went "Imma gonna give you a beehive hairdo*", did it, went, "meh this ain't no good" let it go AND NOW TWINKLESHINE'S HAIR IS ALL CURLY SOMEHOW.
I don't know how I did this, but it is good. She's different than the rest, that's for sure.

Pretty much this, with an additional worry over how easy it would be to get a cheap replacement if I mutilate them. I could do this with Cherry Pie, Diamond Rose (right now anyway) or the mane six, but man, good luck finding another cheap Blossomforth.

As a special addendum, I drove to three stores today in hopes of finding a Plumsweet in person. I managed to do it, possibly snagging the last one on the shelves in my area. She isn't on Hasbro's site, she isn't on Toywiz, she isn't on my Toy Country USA (AKA MY SOURCE) I didn't check Amazon because I know prices would be crazy.
You're thoughts on my madness Talking Princess Cadence?
*presses flank*
*Cadence laughs*
...spot on.
