Nightly Discussion #60

It's actually really hard to find a nice and new Celestia picture when you really need it. Poor girl really needs some more love I think. It's ok, you're still my favorite original princess, Tia.

Time to dive into discussion guys! Hope you have a good weekend planned.

Nintendo Tweetin the Ponies

This one actually happened earlier today, but fell under the radar with all the SDCC stuff going on.  Apparently someone at Nintendo can't stop thinking about ponies.  I share that sentiment, as I'm sure a bunch of you also do.

Tweet can be found over here!

Thanks to Alex I for the heads up.

Thanks to Anna Marie, Masem, and everyone else for the heads up!

Drawfriend Stuff #1237 - Giant Edition!

63 images? I think that constitutes the giant label. Celestia is also a giant pony, and uploading all these images is a giant pain in the butt on this giantly frustrating cell phone "4g" connection. Some day these things will be reliable... I hope. 

Now go art below!

Got to admit that I didn't see any of this coming when I read the top comic. So much honesty going on it would make AJ beam in pride... well that is if some of the truth wasn't about her.

Rainbow Rocks Doll Lockers for Storage

 Just in case you find yourself buying dolls at some point in the future, we have lockers to store them in now.  If you don't have dolls, they look like they would also be pretty good at storing bread. Is there anything worst than moldy bread? Seriously it's disgusting.  Nothing like getting the butter nice and soft and the cheese all spread out ready to go for some delicious grilled cheese only to find that your bread is green and giving off spores.

Umm, anyway, have some links:

Fashion Locker (for sparkly bread)
Storage purse (for bread on the go)
