So Summer Hayes broke the news on her blog that the 2010 My Little Pony Fair will be in Louisville, KY. (Good news for her as she is local!) You can read her post about this here. Now, I’m sure they have covered this somewhere on some forum but I don’t know where and the website is a bit busted right now so this is, quite literally, all the info I have for you.
I have nothing against Kentucky but I for one am really confused. At the 2008 convention, the fair staff said they had a contract to hold the convention in Las Vegas for the next 5 years. Unless I am having a math fail moment, they only held it there once so far.
I didn’t go to the convention in LV last year because I figured I had 4 more years to catch it there. Now, I don’t particularly care about going to Vegas and I think it’s more interesting to have it somewhere different each year than the same place for 5 years straight. My husband is kinda bummed, though, since I told him he could play Blackjack as long as I could buy ponies with all his winnings which was a plan he was oddly psyched about.
So I have to ask you, what do you think? Are you bummed that they changed the location? Were you psyched about a return to Vegas?
Do you know why the heck they changed their minds?

In one corner we have Hugh Jackman, handsome Australian movie star, action hero and Broadway actor.
In the other corner, we have pastel My Little Pony toys.
Not related at all, right? Until this week, I would have agreed.

So this list of My Little Pony Superhero customs got me thinking: if Hasbro were to make official Superhero MLP figures, what characters would they do first?
I posed the question on Facebook and Twitter and got a few answers to get us started. (If you tweeted an answer but didn’t send it as an @ reply I may have missed it so please feel free to add it below).
From Twitter:
Def Captain America Pony, says @RobotsPJs
SPIDERMANN! =]] shouts @OhWowitssloane
From our Facebook Page:
Sarah Carter wants Batman Villain, Poison Ivy and Heather Fredrickson votes for Captain Underpants
I also voted for Swift Wind which I understand could never ever happen as they are rival toy companies but a girl can dream!
So what official MLP superhero would you most like to see? You can weigh in below.
