Soooooo yesterday the postman delivered something (or rather, someone) very exciting!

(She's reading Descartes on literary theory, there).
Yes, in order to motivate myself to finish my first draft, I ordered a Twilight Sparkle to help me with my studies. She's adorable and tiny (my time-travelling Pinkie Pie looms over her) and her hair is incredibly frustrating as it is not show-accurate AT ALL. I know that little girls will want to brush it, but how hard could it have been to give her a straight fringe and get the mane colours the right way round? I have been looking at hair restyling tutorials (in the process finding
this amazing custom Celestia, holy crap) but I'm nervous about taking scissors and boiling water to my Twilight as I had to order her from Portugal.
Anyway, here's one final photo of Twilight in situ on my shelf, featuring some more of my nerd crap.
