Now and again we all have to admit we've done something terrible...

...and this is that lj post.

You know how people sometimes mod My Little Ponies? Well, now you do (and check out this Borg pony! ).

Once upon a time I was torn between respecting the craftsmanship and cool aesthetics of some of the custom ponies and being pretentious and thinking it was a bit silly. But lo, gothic_hamlet and blinkidybah came unto me with a pony, a BABY pony, no less, and said "Stop being a dumb ho and mod the damn pony, you know you want to."

And it was so, so good. I appreciate the subversive elements of taking a mass-produced item and reclaiming it through creative input. It's a challenge to the hyper-femininity of the toy to cover up the blase fairy-floss pink with something more interesting. And it's FUN.

So without further explanation or excuse, I give you Delgado!Master!Pony (My little pony? He belongs to NO ONE!).

For further revelations, including the pony riding a Dalek alarm clock...

Behold the salt n' pepper hair! The dappling effect! The random-yet-adorable freckles! The tiny goatee! The wee buttons on the cuffs! The early-model TCE butt decoration! I know that was a lot of build up, but really, could anything have prepared you for that?!
