The 25th Anniversary My Little Pony Convention…

happened in Rhode Island today and I didn’t even know! I find it hilarious and amazing that people still collect these! I adored them as a child, age 4-7. I even had this poster in my bedroom:

Apparently, the ponies were a Hasbro toy from Pawtucket, RI! Who knew?

My small collection of ponies soon lost out to books, Star Wars and a long string of ridiculous pop culture- based obsessions.

I feel like this is just another example in a recent hiccuping resurgence of my childhood culture in the mainstream everywhere I look – Transformers last year, the GI JOE film in the works and rumors of Smurfs films and a Goonies sequel to boot.

Oh my God, Bonnie, say it isn’t so. A Goonies sequel? When will they learn?!
