Girl Loses Her Virginity at Bronycon 2016 & Other Stories Girl loses her virginity at BronyCon 2016 & other stories This year I attended BronyCon for the first time in order to interview people about their love for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Some of the people I spoke to really love MLP, while others managed to find love between the sheets of a cheap Baltimore hotel. All is fair in love and bronydom and below I have compiled a few interesting stories from people I spoke to during my three days at BronyCon (July 8 – 10). The Girl Who Lost Her Virginity at BronyCon 2016 One girl I spoke to at BronyCon - 19 years of age wearing a wonky tiara and pink wig as an aspiring Pinkie Pie – told me on the Sunday that on Saturday night she slept with a man for the first time. The man, described as being 'older than [her] but not too old for it to be weird', met her on the Friday and complimented her on her costume. They encountered one another again on the Saturday and spent most of the day hanging around with each other. “We both went to BronyCon with friends so it's weird in a way that we spent most of the time together,” she said. “He was a good looking guy and stood out because he had sunglasses on his head, even indoors.” After spending Saturday together the two went off-site for the evening, managing to find a store and purchase some alcohol and hot pockets which they took back to the room in the Baltimore hotel the fellow was staying at. After speaking for a good thirty minutes, the girl admitted that she was a virgin. “He wasn't,” she explained gingerly. “Not by a long shot. But he was gentle and kind and said he was single. Being single myself and at the happiest place on Earth, I decided this was as good a time as any to lose it.” One steamy escapade later and the girl had broken into new, unexplored sexual territory. On Sunday she seemed happy to discuss her experience and how BronyCon had helped her find love. She walked away with a slight limp, so I'm assuming she received a lot of it! The Dildo Salesman Who Made a Quick Buck “Hey, buddy, over here,” a raspy voice called out to me, beckoning me towards his stall on the Sunday. I'd spent a lot of time over the weekend checking out colourful pony art prints and plush toys for sale, but, peeking over his desk, I was surprised to see a very different sort of product. A proprietor of sex toys, the pervy purveyor had seven brightly coloured horse- shaped dildos for sale. “Why is that one orange and that one white?” I questioned. “That's Applejack and Rarity,” he replied. I knew where this was going, but I have to admit I was quite surprised by the brown-coloured hunk of rubber flopped out on the floor like some sort of discarded leg of lamb. I questioned who that toy represented, casting my mind back to characters from the show who could sync up with the schlong. “It's Saffron Masala,” he said eagerly, explaining that the character was from a recent episode. “You could also probably imagine it's, ahem, Coriander Cumin, if you like.” That was quite enough for me – I bid the salesman adieu, but not before, at least, crediting him for his liberally-minded collection of ethnically diverse dongs. I scanned his stall again before leaving the convention and noticed he had managed to sell most of his stock, suggesting that he had indeed made a quick buck. The Man Who Lost His Young Daughter But Found Her Again So His Irresponsible Behaviour Is Totally OK and Not At All Inappropriate One brony I spoke to on the Saturday morning was in a bit of a panic because he had lost his daughter while distracted. He was understandably quite concerned and I made it my mission to help him find her again amongst the crowds of sugary-sweet pony fans. But then his fake Twilight Sparkle ears began to twitch as he heard a toy-box dubstep beat grinding in the distance. “Well, I'm sure she'll be OK,” he said under his breath. “Are you sure?” I asked doubtfully. He explained that this was one of his favourite songs from the MLP music community and that he had to listen to it in a live setting while he had the chance. Bemused, I followed him into the faux-nightclub as he assumed the dance-floor. He later found his daughter again, I think, although I'm not sure – the only thing I'm clear about was the fluorescent 'Father of the Year' badge pinned on his shirt on the dance-floor as he raised his arms in the air and neighed like a horse. .

For Kiki—and all those who embody the Element of Generosity C HAPTER 1 A Pony of Prominence The mail in Equestria could be unreliable, but the Ponyville Post had an especially poor reputation for punctuality. In fact, it was one of the slowest post office branches around. It didn’t matter what sort of parcel a pony was sending: It could be a birthday card to a friend, a thank-you note to the host of a fabulous event in Canterlot, or even a shipment of silky skirts to a boutique in Neigh Mexicolt, and it would take ages. But even though she was well aware of its slowpoke track record, Rarity couldn’t understand why she still hadn’t received the letter yet: the letter that would solidify her status as a pony of prominence in modern Equestrian fashion. It just didn’t make a stitch of sense! Rarity had applied to the House of Outrageous and Opulent Fashion (H.O.O.F.) Summer Mentor Program months ago and still hadn’t heard a peep.

  • An Integrated Media Campaign for Hasbro Studios
    An Integrated Media Campaign for Hasbro Studios Richard Rodriguez Integrated Communication Hawaii Pacific University November 23, 2015 Executive Summary MY LITTLE PONY is a brand introduced by Hasbro in 1983 targeted at girls age 4-9. Over the years it has established itself as a leading brand for the company, promoted through numerous animated TV series, home video releases and a theatrical film. In the late 2000s Hasbro hired animation producer Lauren Faust, whose credits include The Powerpuff Girls, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and Super Best Friends Forever, to re-imagine MLP for a new generation of fans. The result was the TV series MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC, which premiered in 2010 and became a surprise runaway hit and fan culture phenomenon. Faust’s contributions have made FIM the most successful MLP franchise in the brand’s history and the company’s leading brand overall for the past six years. The life cycle of the current MLP franchise is nearing its end. To ensure the brand’s viability against newer competing brands, the company is taking the best values of FIM and the most beloved characters from its entire history to develop the next generation of MLP, to be known as MY LITTLE PONY: TWO OF A KIND. Just as Hasbro Studios partners with creative stewards to re-imagine, revision and re-ignite its brands as TV and film franchises, so it has partnered with Honolulu public relations firm Newport Muse Hawaii to develop an integrated campaign to introduce TWO OF A KIND to the diverse MLP audience and continue the brand’s commercial and critical success.

  • Machiavelli's Little Pony
    Machiavelli’s Little Pony: The Prince and Princess Celestia’s Reign By Wilbur Turuvuski Glossary of terms, concepts and important aspects of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Warning: The following essay contains spoilers for the first four seasons of Friendship is Magic Fridge Logic: o A phrase referring to the act of drawing conclusions based on actions or events in a show/film/book/what have you. It is important to note that this can lead to alternate interpretations of characters and events, and that it can never be considered fully accurate or representational of the character or event, as the audience may be missing information or context. Additionally, there can be considered two subsets of fridge logic: fridge brilliance and fridge horror. Fridge brilliance is essentially fridge logic that seems to add to the intelligence of an action/character or the world of the story. Fridge horror is a kind of fridge logic where the conclusion seems to indicate horrific things about the world/characters/actions of the show/film/book/what have you. o Examples: . In the episode ―It‘s About Time‖ we learn that a three-headed dog named Cerberus keeps ancient, evil, creatures imprisoned in a place called Tartarus. She expresses concern over his presence in Ponyville instead of Tartarus, stating that the ancient evils could escape in his absence before her friend Fluttershy is able to soothe the creature. Based on the information we are given above, one could use fridge logic to infer that Fluttershy could, if she so wished, conceivably release the ancient evils by soothing Cerberus while the evils escaped.
