My Little Pony gets a movie star makeover

Not strictly fashion, I know – but these ponies have got some great outfits.  Ahh, how I remember days gone by when you had to distinguish your My Little Ponies from pictures on their behinds.  I might be too old for toys, but I would love a set of these for my dressing table.  Unfortunately [...]
