So! pass on the news! pony_drama is BACK! spread the love, for who doesn't love gossip, and plastic ponies?

Silver Song's detinseling operation caused sparks to fly among the Princess council, and among religious leaders alike. An alarming number of ponies have taken into consideration the removal of their tinsel. Plastic surgeon offices have become packed with ponies wanting the job done on themselves. Finally, this operation has recieved the attention it so deserved. Silver Song was not the first to have the operation done, but the first pony with a fair amount of publicity around her. Ponies with itchy, or ratty tinsel can finally have relief. The operation has not be banned, but morality has come into question. Queen Wingsong adressed the issue:

"I believe it is only fair that each pony makes the decision for themselves, the operation will always be an option. Silver song is much happier now. Some ponies who are struggiling with identity issues, or those who are simply going with the fad need to sit down and think long and hard about the procedure. It is not reversable. It is a life decision, not to be taken lightly. And I don't think any pony should ever forget that tinsel is a gift. Not every pony has been given such a gift. It is truly unique."

One pony by the name of Beebop told us why the operation was a good choice for her:

"As a performer, my appearance is really important. My tinsel is pretty crazy. Yeah I'm in a rock band, and yeah the messy hair is part of that look, but when you've got tinsel poking into your eye, it's hard to concentrate on what you're doing. and...I always have the wind swept look. There are times when I need to look professional you know? I can't have just one look."

A follow-up story with Beebop and life after the operation will be issued in the near future. On the other hand, other ponies would never consider such an operation. Dream Blue claims she is proud to sport her tinsel:

"It makes me unique! Sure it might be messy at times, but I am proud to have it! It's a gift, no one should ever forget that."

Super long hair Princess Aloha Pearl traveled abroad to Butterfly Island last week, she spent the entire time there tracking down a pink pony known as 'Luau', her own sister.

"I had no idea I had a sister. Mom never told me"

Aloha Pearl's family history has to be understood to realize what a big deal this discovery actually is. As a troubled youth, Aloha Pearl ran away from her home, Butterfly Island, to move to Ponyville. She was out of place on the island, the only pony to be born with un-naturaly long hair. After hearing that this would give her royal status, and without approval from her mother, she ran away to find acceptance. 

"I was considered a freak on the island, why would I want to stay there? Anyway. I only found out about Luau before mom died. She wrote me a letter out of the blue, telling me to come home and find my sister, bring her back to Ponyville and set up a new life for her. I wish I had known! I always wanted a younger sibling. It was all very overwhelming, my life got more hectic than usual. My mom's death..but then finding out I have a sister..it put me in shock. I'm just glad I found her."

The two ponies returned late last night at the interregional airport. Few photos were taken, and an interview with Luau has not yet taken place.

 

During yesterday's SLH Princess council's press conference, Dream Blue approached the podium and had much to say:

"Hello Ponyville. I'm Dream Blue, proud member of this council. As you know, we are all very concerned with the way of life in Ponyville. For that reason, I have decided to propose a re-formed way of life for us all. Life is about living well. How do we do that? Exercise. Enjoy the sunlight! Take your kids and pets for walks. Eat less cake. We all know how wonderful and delicious Sparkleworks Coffee is, and how much of a treat the Cotton Candy Cafe can be. But cut down. Eat more health vegetables, and rose petals! They are so very good for your skin. And water, never doubt the simple benefits of healthy fresh, pure, clean, spring water..."

at this point in the conference, it became clear that Dream Blue had nothing of importance to say. She was not even supposed to be speaking at the said conference. The contents of her supposed speach came from Dibble Dabble's speech earlier in the afternoon, when she spoke about re-forming the school's way of keeping kids healthy.  Dream Blue was asked to leave by all the other Princess' present. Dibble Dabble did not appear upset about the incidence, meerly amused:

"It's kind of sad how hard Dream Blue tries. She wants to make a difference, but she isn't too bright. She doesn't know how to express ideas clearly, and often re-phrases what other ponies have already said. It's happened before. Last year, she stole information from Petal Blossom's speech..and Petal Blossom isn't nearly as well-tempered as myself."

The conference finished without incidence after Dream Blue left. Topics covered included; law management, the health of the children, lawn watering, gang issues, and the Christmas ball.
