ladybug_archiveThis has been a good week overall for getting things. Some of my Perry DVDs (still hoping the replacement for the season 9 set will actually have the DVDs in the case), my U.N.C.L.E. season 1 discs, and today my Ponies! I ended up getting one more than planned, another want from my childhood whom I had overlooked at first among the big stack available. She's in amazing condition! Her hair is a little frizzy, but nothing like the frizz I generated on a couple of my poor childhood Ponies when I tried to brush their hair. And the frizz on the new girl is the only thing wrong with her! And she was only $5! As were the other two.
One of the girls, the original one I set out to get, had a very tangled tail. I was worried that if I brushed it I would tangle it worse, since it was curly. But I decided to try it, and ohmygosh, it fluffed out and is so gorgeous and soft! And her tail and mane are still pink! It's so hard to get her with pink hair because it's the type that fades to white over time. I have her temporarily standing on a stack of my favorite DVDs and she's so cute in a pose bound for flight. She looks very happy. I was going to try to make room for her on a shelf, but I think I'll have to leave her in a position where she has room to fly. She just looks adorable that way.
I love how with most of the Ponies I can sense happy feelings from them. It's nice to think that they were loved by kids (and others) and enjoyed. I know the Ponies themselves aren't really alive, but they just carry the vibes of their previous owners. It's highly unsettling to find one that does not carry good vibes. I have one of those and I am at a loss to know what to do with her. I've had her for a couple of years and she scares the heck out of me. The moment I took her out of the box, I sensed something was wrong with her. Part of me wants to sell her and get her out of here; the other part feels like that would be a "betrayal" and I need to figure out something else.
The other Pony who came today is one of the wedding Ponies. She's nearly perfect too! Slightly yellowing, but mostly still quite white, with sparkly tinsel in her hair. I'm annoyed that they didn't make a groom Pony for her. They should have done that for every bride Pony they made. I'm going to get Chief as the groom for her, I think, if I can find a good one that isn't too expensive. And since he's a fire chief, I'm going to call him McConnike and he can represent William Boyett's character from Emergency!
The boy Ponies are sadly more expensive or I'd probably get them all. I've been planning which of my darlings they can represent if I ever can get more of them. There's a truck driver I'll get to represent Luke, as he played a truck driver on The Catholic Hour (oh, I wish I could find that episode; he's a main character). There's a sailor who could represent Darren's character Grey Holden from Riverboat. Alternately, the sailor could represent Chrissy, because he played a sailor at least twice in some of his early roles. I want to get the Native American Pony and call him Johnny. (I adore John Gage in all his kookiness....) The cowboy Pony is the only boy Pony I have, and he represents H.M.'s character Little Pinto. I have him paired off with Posey. (Yes, there's a Pony called Posey. I was amused.)
And I woke up today from a dream about Darkwing Duck. It was kind of a sweet dream and had Morgana actually being nice in it. It was something about them having kids, aww. It's too bad she wasn't really that way on the show. A couple of times she was nice in early episodes, but then they decided they wanted her to be really nasty. Darkwing can't even talk to her about anything because she gets so mean that she blasts him with magic and he's downright afraid of her. They are such a toxic pairing and it really bugs me that the show just tried to say that kind of a relationship is okay. Comical fear is one thing, but when there's actual abuse going on and a legitimate reason to be afraid, that is just not funny. At all.
