Oh wow, I've been going through my old posts, and I found these. I'd completely forgotten all about them. I absolutely adore getting to be a bride and now all I need is my Prince Charming to come and whisk me away to our magical castle 🤗🙏❤️👰

I would just like to say my six year old wedding was better, but whatever. -Jodie

This is like a worse version of middle age crazy. Like, you know, this was a repeat of that storyline, and it wasn't as well planned. -Andrea

At least that was an elopement. That was because nobody else, I was like, fine, I'm leaving. -Jodie 

Well, and that was with two kids who were consenting to the same thing, and not like one kid who’s in love, and then the guy that's leading her on and doesn't know it. Your Wedding to Harry was far superior. Just saying. -Andrea

Lily is really passionate about sleep. She needs her long 12 hours sleep daily.

Silent salt is actually the most beautiful guy you can ever see he has the face of an angel but he is also a bit fucked up so he lowk doesnt thinks he is pretty at all (go my stupid ass silent salt headcanon)

Ignore the math notes pls i didnt have my book and i had to note the formulas somewhere quickly...

FUN FACTS:

The wedding was broadcasted in about 180+ countries, with around 300 million live TV viewers and a total estimated global audience of up to 2 billion.

About 72 million people watched on YouTube alone, which was huge for 2011.

Around 1 million people gathered at the streets of central London to watch the procession and celebrations in person.

London’s security and crowd control operation was one of the largest peacetime policing efforts in UK history at the time.

The first social media mega-event.

It is the first royal event to truly go global in real time online. It exploded across Twitter, Facebook and YouTube as it happened.

Twitter saw 1000s of tweets per sec at peak during key moments like the arrival of the bride and the kiss.

The Buckingham Palace balcony kiss became the most replayed royal images in modern media history.

Elisabeth Brookman Customs

These babies come from the year 2000! I got them from an Ebay seller who was selling their old collection and brought them out of storage. The earliest discussion I've been able to find online about them is 2000s collectors groaning in exasperation, because these customs were slightly controversial at the time. Many collectors thought they looked ugly or gaudy, with their black outlines and dozens of beads or sequins or feathers. That, and the fact that Elisabeth purchased good condition ponies to customize (You will notice that all of her customs still have their original hair, with these ponies being a Whizzer, Coco Berry, and someone in the Posey pose with either white or fading pink hair...) Many people raised a fuss about this, because by customizing good condition ponies you're depleting the market for those ponies which aren't made anymore!

But to be honest... I feel as if a lot of this backlash was just because: It was the earlier days of customizing. There were relatively less customs posted online then than there are now. And I personally feel that those concerns about customs were a little blown out of proportion. I do think it's noble to want to preserve toy history and restore ponies of course. Sure, customizing a good condition pony will mean there's one less of that pony out there forever. But who's to say that pony wouldn't have been destroyed due to the sands of time anyways? In a few hundred years, even if collectors have done their best to preserve these toys, there likely won't be as many in circulation anyways. These are also children's toys at the end of the day, and many children will ruin the condition of their toys through the act of play: They will get dirty, have cut hair, or be colored all over... None of this is an inherently bad thing, either, this just shows that the toy was especially loved or that the child was trying to be creative with their play. It is a part of how human children learn and grow. More importantly, if someone is buying a toy with their own money, like it or not, they should be allowed to do whatever they want with them, including customizing them. Yes, even if it's painful to other collectors because it's a rare pony or something like that. Sometimes I see people using restoration techniques that I frown upon, or otherwise treating their ponies in a way I wouldn't like, but that doesn't mean I should dictate what they can and can't do with their toys.

I think art should be celebrated anyways, and that means all art. Even art that people think is "badly done" or "cringe". Because humans expressing themselves is a beautiful thing that should be encouraged. I dislike the bullying feel of how cringe culture made people feel ashamed of being themselves or making something indulgent, or not being the most skilled artist. Everyone starts somewhere, and even if their art never improves, it still has value. I think Elisabeth's customs are kinda ahead of their time anyways, and there is appeal in the weird color choices and all of the accessories piled on top... It is endearing, a little campy, and fun.

These are the three that just arrived in the mail! First off is the infamous Beautiful Bride, who is a bride pony with real lace attached to her hair and a little ring accessory drawn on her too. She is showing some signs of the sealant yellowing due to age.

Next up is my personal favorite: this unnamed, purple strap ice cream pony! XD I genuinely really like the colors here, and I think the straps are pretty. Her paint is cracking due to age as well.

Finally, this last one I am gifting to my partner @vampbunny2003 ! Carrousel Belle, who is blue with big strange purple spots, lots of sequins and feathers, a cute little reign and also a real bell that jingles on her neck! She has a lot that's going on with her design... and I love it X3

These three bring my pony count up to: over 300! Thank yall for sticking with me as my collection grows and I hope you enjoy seeing these ponies ^^
