Dustin Diamond, aka Screech from...some teen show from my youth that I never actually watched, posted a picture of himself as a child with his Masters of the Universe toys. I don't know how I came across it, but it instantly suggested to me the female equivalent: a girl with her My Little Ponies. The fact that I would be representing the TRUE My Little Ponies, instead of this Friendship Is Magic nonsense that seems to have infected my friends' brains, was just gravy. I couldn't go back in time and be a child again, but I could take my best shot at recreating some '80s hair and makeup. David Ng was a good sport about the whole thing, and even tried to reproduce the cheesy backdrops used by the professional photographers of our youth. |
