And We'll Start!!

[Admin]

Ok so i'll get this started. Please start your own thread when you'd like to introduce yourself and do not feel yours needs to be anywhere as detailed as mine.

I'm Lady Everlasting, otherwise known as Kristin I co-run the Unicorns of Kalidore adoptable with Lady Whimsy, but I do all the tedious organizational stuff as I am artistically inept haha. Plus really, who can top Lady Whimsy's artist abilities? Lady Whimsy and I met online through the Grand Champions ID Site that she ran as well as some other model horse forums, and wound up meeting and going to Breyerfest in Kentucky for the first time 3 or 4 years ago. We now go every year and have got together for various reasons a few other times as well!

I'm 24 years old and live in a small town in Southwestern Ontario Canada with my bf Dustin, 2 cats Orion and Artemis, hampster Tumbles, and 2 betta fish Thor and Odin #2. I am a Child and Youth Worker (CYW) and Early Childhood Educator (ECE) and work with children 0-6 who have additional physical or behaviour needs within a childcare setting. So I basically get to work one-on-one with children who would otherwise not be able to attend childcare otherwise, basically the same job an EA has in the schoolboard but I work with children under the age of 6.

I work full time, and have an hour commute to get to work and am also taking nightschool courses to get my Bachlor's of Social Work. So 10 years from now I'll have that as well lol. Ok, so not that long but it seems like it., probably only 4 or 5.

I don't have a whole lot of spare time, but when I do I love to read (classics and fantasy mostly) and horseback ride, I collect model horses, and of course playing on PI and Howrse.

Ok so I think that's probably more than you ever cared to know about me, but I'm not shy lol so if there's someway I missed something please feel free to post and ask me ^^

*jumps in behind* I'll tack myself on the end yours

I'm Lady Whimsy, though I also answer to Neena. Together with Kristin we run the Unicorns of Kalidore, though Kristin does most of the running and I just draw stuff

In my other life, I am a practicing artist and a freelance teleprompter. That means I spend a lot of time dressed in black and running around backstage at award shows and tv studios at all hours of the day and night, which doesn't really bother me that much as keep odd hours anyway. I find I'm most creative at two in the morning, which is when a lot of the Unicorns are drawn. Besides working on Kalidore, I also paint and draw; I've had one official gallery show for my work, and look forward to showing again in the future... once I find some time to do more painting!

I also dabble in puppetry (both making and preforming) and spent many years working as Day Camp instructors; I love working with children and being out-of-doors. I love horseback riding too, but seeing as I'm horseless at the moment, it's not something I get to do very often.

Fantasy & Science Fiction movies are my favorite kinds, though truthfully, I just really love going to the movies. I also like to read, both novels and comic books, and have been working on the Next Great Canadian Fantasy Novel for the last 12 years. And no, it's not finished yet

Oh, and then there are The Collections... I am an avid collector of the HSO (horse shaped object) and have an inventory numbering in the thousands. These include My Little Ponies, Breyer Horses, Grand Champions, Fashion Star Fillies - you name it, I probably have it. I simply find horses inspiring, and along with collecting, I'm an avid model horse customizer too and love sharing my skills with others. So much so, when Kristin and I head down to Breyerfest each year, I can usually be found doing the Children's Customizing workshop, helping young minds discover their own inner creativity in the shape of a horse. It's a blast, and I'm always looking forward to it

Online, you've probably seen me either as Lady Whimsy or Raventyde, as I dabble on Pony Island, Howrse, Model Horse Blab, The MLP Trading Post & MLPArena, as well as the Grand Champions Collectors Group. With all these things on the go, sometimes I wonder how I get anything done. I guess the trick is, to always do something you like - because then, no matter how much you have to do, it never seems like work!

Have a great day

Lady Whimsy ~
