I had so much fun at Anime NYC taking photos of every adorable thing that met my eyes, one of which was this Pink Pony Club sticker from Rolly Poly Studios; a private pottery studio located in Queens, NY that makes extremely cute pottery items and stickers! Squee! In my experience, references to a Pink Pony are generally associated with something quite sexy.

This small toy figure of a Pig in a Pink Party Hat and matching festive outfit (or simply, Party Pig, as I enjoy calling him) was gifted to me by a friend on my most recent birthday.

The set was originally sold by Target in November of 2021 and is now (understandably) sold out, but you can still find it for sale on eBay and other similar sites.
