Everyone has a hobby. Some people find solace in bottle cap collections or knitting. Others take a more intense route and spend their time BMX biking, sky diving, base jumping, or rock climbing. No matter how the cookie crumbles, it's safe to say that every single person has something they can deem "a hobby" (even to the point of calling it an obsession).

That leaves room for stereotypes though.

Girls are suppose to collect dolls, knit, cook, and generally adhere to the social construct of that which makes a woman feminine. Boys are suppose to collect Hot Wheels, dismantle electronics, and get as dirty as they possibly can to ensure they build up their masculinity.

I can safely say that Jenny and I fit into the gray area. We're in the small percentage of people considered freaks by nature, because we stand just outside the widely painted boundaries of society.

Color in the lines?

No thanks.

We'd rather attack the whole picture with chaotic glee, smearing and splashing multi-colored paints across the entire expanse until we're satisfied that any order there once was is now distorted in a magnificently abstract way.

What does this mean?

Well, simply stated: We're weird and our hobby is a little off kilter.

We like to play with dolls and ponies. We like to paint and make things pretty. We're very feminine in that regard. However, we also like to rip the heads off toys, and we like using colors like gun metal gray and muscle car reds.

Which brings us to the backbone of this blog.

For a few weeks, Jenny and I did some research into a new hobby. We both needed something to obsess over. Our attention turned to My Little Ponies. The new G3 version of the ponies are perfect for customization. The heads twist and pop off easily. The tails are nicely clamped on the inside and slide out without any trouble. The manes, while annoying at first, are fun to take off as well. Not to mention the fact that you can buy them super cheap and remove all decals with some Goo Off.

So, thus began our slowly growing interest in My Little Pony customization.

This blog will be our sounding board and showcase for the duration of our pony demolition and rebuilding. You'll find updates of every sort as we move along. Pictures will abound and eventually when we've perfected things, we'll throw up some tutorials. Till then, just sit back and enjoy.
