The Life and Travels of a Plush Twilight Sparkle

Behind everypony else, but I just watched the #MLPFinale, it was a nice send off to the characters, but left with am empty feeling since it was the end, it has been fun a ride and have meet many friends along the way. Hoping Gen 5 will be great, they have big horses to full. 

With that said and not tied to my “winged” tv counter part, we doing some small repairs and changes, traveling the world has worn me out, thinking of the two months in Paris, the stay over in Ireland, the week in German, grand tour of the west coast of the US. Watching the sun set on the Pacific was one of my favorite moments. The owners new job has him traveling more and some times I don’t get to go cause the trips are small and there is usually no excuse to hall a large bag around. You may see smaller Plush Purse Twilight traveling more often on here, but that is ok, I will try to keep up with stores and content, currently doing so with twitter as well...

It has taken me some time to group my thoughts together from my last trip to Bronycon 2019.  First and foremost they grossly underestimated the amount of people that showed up, only half the convention center was open, which would have been find for say 5000 people, not the over 10,000 that showed up. Lines were crazy and several panels I wanted to go to I could not get in even after standing in line. On the other hoof it was fun to catch up with old friends and see new. I did finally get to tour the inner harbor of Baltimore, even though it was out of frustration to do something since most panels were full and the line to vendors hall was an hour long or so. The late night panels in the hall of chaos were as entertaining as usual. I did not get to see any VIPs this year due to the lines.

Since going to Bronycon starting in January of 2012 these events have always been an adventure, meeting VIPs and attending panels, and the market place. It has always been fun, granted there are other conventions out there, but this one ending feels like the end of an era, I wish I could say it went out with a bang, but... It was more of a disorganized mess. Not to mention some of the drama going on post convention due to some of the things found out about staff... Also not convention related but the leaks/early showings of the end of the series.

It leaves me wondering what comes next, now that it is all and done. How many more adventures are there for me? I am sure we could try to go to anime conventions again, or just a road trip, but it is not the same looking forward to the flag ship convention that once was, it was really upsetting with how the last one went, the anticipation of 4 days of fun that turned into nothing more then waiting in lines an hour or so before the panels started only to be told the room was at compacity... I don't want to be bitter but in some ways I just can't help it as the ones before felt more organized/streamlined for crowd control.

When I look back at Bronycon it will Summer of 2012 that stands out, there were only two panel rooms and a market place but the vibe in the air, the excitement of the event being the first huge event held at a convention center. Not to mention they were filming the documentary that at the convention. I will always have my memories and friends I have made.

I left Spike on his own for a few days, with out supervision... he makes a shrine to Hatune Miku…. Sorry for my absence online, well on Tumblr, things have just been a little crazy with the human's new job and with winter and all. Summer is here and my human is on vacation next week hopefully we can get some good photos in.

I am excited yet feeling bitter sweet after seeing the primary today. I think of every thing I have done this far in pursuit of this fandom and wonder what will come next after the summer. It is a scary yet exciting time. 

So much has occurred in my life from my humble begins as fabric, thread and polyester fibers being made with countless other jumbo plush Twilight Sparkle toys in 2010, from getting my mane modification in 2011 and finally arriving at my current home at the end of November 2011.  Going to my first Bronycon in January of 2012, which was very confusing and seemed disorganized. It even made me doubtful any other conventions would occur, but in July of 2012 I gave it shot again and went and got to meet the voice actors and get my hoof signed by Tara.

I have gone to every Bronycon since and a handful of other conventions as well. I was very happy to see the primary today but like reading a good book you suddenly realize you are that last few chapters and you don't want it to end... But all good things must come to an end so we can experience new good things.

I have been a very lucky plush unicorn, I sometimes wonder what has happened to the other Jumbo Plush Twilights (Which some I did meet again at Bronycon 2012), and at times what will happen to me. My owner is traveling more for work and lately has been the same place over and over again I opt out from going cause I don't want to be in a hotel room most of the time.  I miss Paris, I hope to get back there some day. Now I am rambling, sorry about that...

Ugh Julia you are a lot heavier then Spike, don't you know plush horses are not for ridding accept by smaller plushies?  I hope everypony is doing well, I was trying to practice taking photos with the camera using Julia as my photo subject but she decided to jump on my back for a photo and it knocked the polyester filling out of me....

A new book arrived in the mail! It is a second print of the anniversary edition of Spice and Wolf.  I am a little disappointed I could not obtain a first edition print but I am still happy even obtain a copy of the book. Plush Holo joins me as the book is about the character she is based off of. I like the quality of the book, hardcover, heavy duty, even smells of classic leather bond book....*drools*….

Hello everypony, today I received in the mail a smartdoll. My owner purchased it for me a week ago, I must admit she is taller then I thought she would be. According to the packaging her name is Julia. I am really impressed with the craftmanship of her construction as well attention to detail to the clothing and boots. I am really happy with this purchase. I also want to mention that attention given to packing was also top notch and shows the folks who make smartdoll really care about the product they are producing.

Also my owner will be working from home the next few weeks so it will give us time to go through some suggestions and come up with ideas for future photos and leisure travel plans.

I have not disappeared. My owner has been busy traveling back and forth to Austin with his new job, but due the nature of the job travel policy he does not get his own rental car so there is not a lot of opportunity for photos. For those who also follow the twitter sometimes a tiny plush will travel with him for quick candid pictures from the hotel or jobsite. 

The other thing that has been on my mind as of late is next summer with the end the last Bronycon. I have been going since Jan 7th of 2012, and part of me wants to avoid going just so that it does not feel like the end. I have thought of pushing the idea of taking a vacation of exploring Iceland or another European country instead. Then on the other hoof it is the final one, and I suppose since I was there at the start I should be there for end.

Greetings Everypony! High Roller Pony Con is winding down to an end. It has been a fun filled two days. I met some friends from Twitter, hang out with a Starlight Glimmer plushie for a bit, and met cos-player  @maddy_moiselle. I was able to say hi to Dusty again and purchase some pins from his booth as well as a couple of other items in the dealers hall I will review later. And I was able to be a mare gone wild and have maybe a few too many drinks at the hotel bar. The panels were fun, but with it being a small con, there were not a lot, and they were more geared toward the brony music scene. I enjoyed the cosplay panel by Maddy, my owner learned a few things about wig styling.
