Fun With Dava's Accessories 4
Fun with Dava's Accessories 4 took place 14 February 2005. I was about to have my wisdom teeth removed, and I wanted something fun to do before my surgery. It was also a little bit of a Valentine's Day gift to my friends! Of all the contests I held, I think FWDA 4 yielded the best results.
From Marzipan: "The G3's try to take up farming."
Dava comments: Oh, the fun I had with this one! The barn and farm animals are Fisher Price Little People. My husband built the terrain to display some of his Lord of the Rings miniatures. Add a few ponies, and you get pure comedy!
From Rhonda: "Ok, the title is: The Crime of the Century: someone steals a jewel pony.
The high-speed getaway chase (scooter? Barbie car? hot air balloon? other?). There should be a stunt involving a police vehicle, pedestrians in danger (maybe the classic baby in a pram scenario), cardboard boxes, a news helicopter (another chance to use a hot air balloon? Sparkleworks on the scene), and the thieves trying to dig the precious stone out of their victim's butt!"

Dava comments: I was so proud to pull this one off. Whew! Taking a cue from Spoosh's Ponyville, we made Sparkleworks the news anchor.
From Darklighter: "Minty the Firebug"

Dava comments: Minty has had fans from Day One! And who needs a better reason to burn things? Minty's bonfire contains everything from candy, clocks and date planners.
From Kat: "A pony (you pick who) creates a monster in their laboratory... A monster made out of hats!! :D~"

Dava comments: When I can't think of something for a character to say, they usually end up screaming, "Cheetos!" LOL! I'm sure it's the first word most monsters learn. ~_^ Star Wars fans may recognize my monster as a Taun-Taun with hats taped all over him. The laboratory is a Muppets play set.
From Sundrop: "Shoplifting. :D"

Dava comments: Oh, the accessories I got to use in this one! No cleptomaniac can resist the allure of cosmetics. I used Tea Leaf in this one since "tea leaf" is Cockney slang for "thief."
From Lady Minty: "After standing on her head for several hours (new record!), NuMinty gets up, totters around dizzily, and then makes an amazing discovery!..."

Dava comments: This was actually the last photo I took, because I was stumped for ideas! What sort of amazing discovery would Minty make? I finally went with the old standby, socks, and used an odd pair of Sponge Bob socks that my mother-in-law had given me.
From Lady Northstar: "Kiwi Tart makes a shocking discovery about what Sea Spray does with her beloved crabs."

Dava comments: Haha! I know this isn't what LNS intended, but I couldn't resist.
From Princess Silverswirl: "Piracy on the high seas!"

Dava comments: 20,000 Downloads Under the Sea? This is another one of my favorites, created using a Captain Nemo play set and a Barbie laptop computer.
From Spoosh: "Prom 2005: A night to Remember Forget."

Dava comments: I think this is pretty typical of everyone's prom. Catty high school girls, spiked punch and other shenanigans. Kimono even has a tiny beer can!
From Daisy: "A Day in the Coffee Shop"

Dava comments: For those of you who read Kimono's Townhouse, this is where Minty got her caffeine habit. Haha! I liked this one so much that I ended up making it into a LiveJournal icon.
From OdinDeathCrush: "Ponyville Surreal Life."

Dava comments: Another favorite! I decided a Ponyville Surreal Life show would have to be set at the new castle, where a decidedly well-loved Majesty would, ironically, not feel at home. The scene took place in the kitchen, since that seems to be where the best fights take place.
