Just over a week ago, I was lucky enough to catch the My Little Pony Project in LA. Unfortunately, they clumped a bunch of pieces right in front of the window making it difficult to see some of them. Though, I was able to get photos of a few good ponies. It didn't take too long for us to get through the show, but we spent a while just browsing the store. Observing other bronies was also enjoyable. There was a mother who brought her two daughters, a man (dressed very LA) explained to his female friend who all the characters were, and two more-typical looking bronies sifted through the Mighty Fine t-shirts. I was pleasantly surprised by Toy Art Gallery's location on Melrose, which has fantastic shopping. If you ever visit, there are several other great toy-carrying places like: Puzzle Zoo, Munky King, Japan LA, and Kidrobot.
There was this cute photo op stand with the Canterlot castle in the background. They had props you could wear like tiaras, fairy wings, and curly ribbon headbands. (That's me on the left and my cousin, Sheryl on the right.)
The
pony I wanted to take home was the only monochromatic piece. It had a stone-like finish and looked as if it could have come from a different century. If it was not a part of the My Little Pony exhibit, I don't think anyone would have ever known it was based off a little girl's toy. It's something that might have been sold in
Rick Harrison's pawn shop or a statue that should have gone in my parents' foyer in the house I grew up in.
The My Little Pony project closed this past Saturday. If you weren't able to make it, you can at least check out the rest of my photos below.
