The huge Roanoke Star, a staple attraction of southwestern Virginia and the Eastern seaboard since Thanksgiving of 1949.

That's beautiful, eddie.
^ Reminds me when she played the Cat in the American version of Red Dwarf. She played it as a literal cat-creature, with fur and a tail and all that. I could TOTALLY see her playing the Cat just like Danny John-Jules did though.![]()

Yep.
I had to go see what it's about -on YouTube- there's quite a view from up there tooThat's beautiful, eddie.
Thanks much, Kes. You should see it up close, I think you'd enjoy it. Imagine a 100-foot neon and metal star that just looms over you. It's the largest freestanding, man-made star on earth and looks amazing when it's lit up in multiple colors on a clear night.
So, to keep from completely derailing the desk top thread, I'm posting pictures of my My Little Pony collection here.This was actually fun, because a) I got to find where I had stored them, 2) I got to take them all out and admire them again, and c) I had an excuse to look up all the names I couldn't remember.

Okay, so when I was a little girl, I was a member of the My Little Pony Fan Club. I loved my ponies. I still do.Whenever you bought a pony in the store, there were points on the package that you could collect and use toward special, club-only mail-order ponies. Ember was the first baby pony. Lucky the Stallion was the first boy pony. I'm pretty sure Clipper was club-exclusive too, and maybe Baby Surprise and Tux 'n' Tails. I had the Show Stable - I think it might have been a Christmas present one year that started the collection.
Of the original six, I had five. For a long time I thought I had all six because Lemon Drop looked like she belonged in the team. It wasn't until the Internet that I realized I didn't have Snuzzle. I found her later - I think at a flea market.
I think Lemon Drop is my favorite. She was always the one in charge when I played. I loved Medley because she had gorgeous hair. I think she was the first one I got that had curly hair. Ember and Lucky were big favorites too. I thought it was cool that I had ponies that no one else I knew had.
I don't even remember Seawinkle.
She must have been one of those Sea Ponies that were briefly released to expand the toy line.
