We all remember Mattel's My Little Pony, the toy our little sister got from cheap relatives when she got to the "Mommy I want a pony" stage. The toy is a harmless fun little for little girls. But alot of those girls have grown up in to beautiful geek ladies who still love their favorite toy. One of those ladies is Mary Sturhann who is the "Queen of Geek" to all who know her. This week she sent me an e-mail....
Besides having my
own website "Marysgarage" I also belong to an all women toy collecting
group called SOFTT "Society of Female Toy Traders". We often trade
pictures and links of our latest creations. Many of the ladies create
their own special renditions of their favorite character. One of the
ladies decided to share something amazing that she found. Normally I would not mention a silly My Little Pony, but I dare you to look at these and not weep with Geeky joy!

This woman has done such incredible things to these toys that I want a few of them and want to give a few to some of my male friends,(Matt and Wes!). These "little ponies" are on steroids and I want one! This artist is brilliant,not only her sculptures, but her art and graphic artistry, check out her website and purchase if you can, we have to support our geek artists. If not drop her a note and let her know what you think of her work. I am.
