Pony Up

I will admit it: I love ponies. A few years ago, at my little cousin's cowboy themed birthday party, I had to physically restrain myself from getting in line for a pony ride (not only because the liklihood that I would crush the adorable little fellows back, but the pony-wrangler was quite the stud muffin ;). But yes, I love ponies, as well as things from my childhood. Which is why I could be no more delighted than I am about The My Little Pony Project.

The idea: famed artists and designers from across the globe project their own spin on pre-created fabricated large models of classic toy. Sound familiar? But here's the surprise: this is not the newest brainchild of Paul Budnitz, but sponsored by none other than the original creator of My Little Pony toys, that behemoth of the toy industry, Hasbro. That's awesome on so many levels, I can't even count that high.



I have to say, I am impressed. I would never have given Hasbro the street cred to put on such a great exhibition, particularly with the all-star underground artist lineup they have gathered to create the masterpieces of equestrian excellence. Toki Doki, Junko Mizune, and Jim Houser are just some of artists participating, as well as a celebrity lineup that includes John Stamos, Leanne Rimes and Kimora.
