Rainbow Dash Pony Mod

RAINBOW DASH PONY MOD:
MAKING RAINBOW DASH 20% COOLER
So I was sitting up with Boyfriend, watching some horror movie where someone cuts the power to the house and dresses up like a terrifying clown to murder a bunch of people. Then the power went out. With only a lighter and a phone I suddenly felt weirdly, terrifyingly weak. So this is what happened:

Me: "HELP ME DRESS I WILL NOT DIE NAKED THIS NIGHT"

Boyfriend: "YOUR CLOTHES ARE INSIDE OUT OH GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING."

I started wildly grabbing for my phone but knocked it to the ground. I know that we keep both loaded guns and sharpened swords in the immediate vicinity but, with absolutely zero light, I wasn't too sure of my ability to operate them. If this were a zombie apocalypse my best bet would be to lie down in the bed and die.

The lights came back on within a minute but, shaken, I knew what I had to do to restore equilibrium to my world.

Look at happy, wonderful ponies!

RAINBOW DASH PONY TIME
I was pretty excited to find a Rainbow Dash waiting for me at Target when I went last week. Usually it's just a wall of Rarity and Applejacks so finding a Rainbow Dash AND a Twilight Sparkle was an unusually treat.

Unfortunately, this is the abomination that greeted me from inside that colorful Hasbro plastic box:


Each moment this unnatural beast lives is like a thousand years of misery.
So I got my tools out and went to work.


I didn't use all of these tools but I gathered them all for good measure. Most necessary were the scissors, thread, and brush on super glue. The needles are nice to manipulate the thread when it's tied and mixed up in pony hair.


The first thing I did was separate the colored chunks of hair. Her bangs were orange and red where they should have had some yellow mixed in. Her tail was solely blue and green and there was no purple anywhere. So I rearranged her bangs and mane by forcing sections around and tying them in place with thread.

I trimmed some yellow and orange from her mane since her hair is much, much shorter than what comes in the box. I set this aside to add some variety to her tail later.


Once all the hair was where I wanted it I super glued it down. You can see here that I precariously glued a swatch of yellow, orange, and red onto her tail.


I tied a little bow on her butt to cover where the extra hair was connected and there she is! At least 20% cooler than before. Her bangs aren't quite as raggedy/awesome as I wanted and her mane isn't super full but I feel like she's a much better facsimile than the Hasbro ponies that are pumped out from the same mold. The only thing missing now is an angry little line above her eye to make her look extreeeeeme.


Chilling with Twilight and my pony coloring/activity book!

Tune in next week when I tell all of my friends I can't go out because I'm washing my hair but I'll actually be modding my Applejack pony!
