My Little Pony


I was just reading a book which talked about a private detective of sorts, who searches for antiques, vintage clothes, toys that were adored in childhood, etc. It made me wonder what i would want if i ever get a chance. The first thing that popped into my head was my first My Little Pony pony. It was a gift from my aunt, a beautiful tiny purple plastic pony, with a mane and tail of glossy purple hair and flowers on its body. I googled and found a picture of the exact same pony. I dont know what happened to the one i had. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. After some months i forgot about it. Then one day, years later, i found out that my best friend then (a boy) had a similar pony which was blonde with clover leaves on its body. If i couldn't have my old pony, i really wanted that one. By then, that particular model was no longer manufactured. So, i traded a "BLUE" teddy bear i had for the clover pony. I still have it. Its but a shadow of my beautiful purple one, but something is better than nothing, isn't it? I love the blonde pony too, don't get me wrong, but the one i had before was something else.
Nostalgic much? :P
