The Little Pony (A Valentine's Day photo shoot)


Happy Valentine's Day everyone, 

Instead of going for the traditional tragic love story for my Valentine's Day themed photo shoot (which I may or may not do next year...because why not?), I instead decided to write a poem. This will be a photo shoot/Lyrical photo shoot in the theme of why I do this blog. It may not be romantic love, but I wanted to kind of thank my dolls and stuffed animals for being around me, since, I feel like they help me calm down when I'm stressed. 

Anyway, on to the photo shoot:  


Love comes in the strangest ways, 
and on the strangest days, 


Sometimes it comes as a way to release stress, 
for sometimes it is for the best, 

and it comes as a toy, 
which brings a girl joy, 


"she's too old to like that" some say, 
but inside she knows she never is too old to play, 

For imagination is a stress reliever, 
and a life saver, 


For if you have dreams, 
then the world is no longer as tough as it seems, 

you can go anywhere, 
and people won't stare, 

You can journey into the unknown, 
set yourself onto a golden throne, 


You will even fly, 
and in that world it won't be a lie, 
for you will be flying up into the pink and purple sky, 

And then at the end, 
after you reached the place where many heroes ascend, 

you'll wonder how you got so far, 
I'll give the answer but I promise it's not bizarre, 


For it links back to that "ugly thing"
some girls commented she should have spent on a ring, 

The pony toy, 
which brought her joy, 
even though it was but a toy, 

For it could take her anywhere, 
and become a wild mare.

Happy Valentine's Day (Post by Aphrodite)






Hello people of the internet, it's Aphrodite, and I thought today that I should make a "blog" post for Valentine's Day, the day my son Eros (aka Cupid) gets to make everyone fall in love with people, and sometimes random objects. Anyway getting to the point, Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays, so I'd thought it was a good idea to make a list of ways I like to celebrate:

1.Making people fall in love (Eros likes doing this, too). 
2. Magically making Valentines (partly because I do not have as much talent in art as Athena, but do not tell her that). 
3. Wearing my magic girdle that Hephaestus made, it makes me even more beautiful. 
4. Listening to the Muses' playing love ballads.

Happy Valentine's Day (+ Photo shoot)



Hi everyone!:) Happy Valentine's day, today I thought I would do a photoshoot with these dolls (or characters) that seemed the most "Valentinesy" (and romantic). In order of Appearance:

Aphrodite from Greek Mythology

Katrina Van Tassel from Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (even though her story is technically a Halloween story, I thought she would like to be in the photo shoot).

Freya from Norse Mythology

Here is the photo shoot (Unlike the other photo shoots I have done, I will be including facts about the characters instead of talking about the photos.):


Aphrodite 





                           

                            Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. She was born out the sea and one of the most famous paintings of her is The Birth of Venus (Venus is her Roman name). Her son Eros (aka Cupid) is a big part of Valentine's Day. He in fact shows up on a lot of cards, and decorations.
Aphrodite also has a girdle that will make the wearer more beautiful.




                                       Katrina Van Tassel 





       Katrina is a character from Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
             She is part of the romantic subplot of the novella, and even though she doesn't get much       attention in the book, several movie versions have developed her character.
            Katrina is often portrayed as a beautiful, slightly mischievous person
          (who is also the catalyst of the whole conflict between Ichabod and Brom.)
       
         


                                  Freya 
                       



                           

      Freya is the Norse goddess of love, beauty, and war. She has a charriot pulled by cats, and wears a necklace that she never takes off. The necklace is so beautiful that even the god Loki tried to steal it. 
  
My dolls wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!

Which photo is your favorite? And which character is your favorite? 

I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day,
