Pinky Pie Pony Club (for ISE Coronation 45 Command Performance)
Pinky Pie Pony Club
A MLP mashup for ISE Coronation 45: A Night of 2024 Cosplays
I was thrilled and honored to be invited to do a command performance at the stepdown event for Emperor Donny Mirassou and Regent Empress Lady Phoenix.
I decided to challenge myself and learn Chappel Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” as a new song just for their event, and given the cosplay theme, to build a Pinky Pie (from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) inspired wardrobe for my presentation. PP is a filly, the song uses feminine pronouns, but I have chosen to do a genderfluid presentation and am not attempting female impersonation for the performance.

New Improved Shorts for Pinky Pie
The one thing I was REALLY unhappy with in my Pinky Pie outfit for the performance was the pink booty shorts. They managed to be a little too baggy in the legs, too tight in the waist, plus the whole malformed zipper fly. This is no doubt why they ended up in the “meh” bin…

On Stage, Part 2 (Richard Man Photos, Video)
Richard got a great series of photos of my performance, including the wall of streamers. To cap it off, Christine Doyle captured this non-embarassing recording of my performance. You can tell I’m having fun and so is the audience (though you can’t hear them singing along; well over a quarter of the room joined in)….

On-stage Photos of “Pinky Pie Pony Club”
Just a few snaps from the audience from my performance of “Pink Pony Club” in my Pinky-Pie inspired wardrobe.I’m hoping for some with better white balance in the near future. My friend Christine also recorded a video, but I haven’t processed and uploaded it yet.

Finishing Touches
Every equine character on My LIttle Pony has “cutie marks” on their flanks, and Pinky Pie is no exception. Her cutie mark is a trio of party balloons with contrasting strings, two blue and one yellow. When I did Rainbow Dash, I was able to purchase iron-on patches of his cloud-and-thunderbolt cutie mark, but I…

Pixie Dandruff Everywhere
Pinky Pie needs *something* for her Grand Entrance at the gala. In the episode “The Best Night Ever” she had a big pink train with candy corn decorations. Since I’m not doing full drag (or full fursuit) for this production, I wanted something to evoke that train. Enter the spangled tulle. It’s encrusted with fuchsia…

Building a Jacket for Pinky Pie
Part of the Pinky Pie street wardrobe is this wonderful fringed short jacket. It’s based on the Simplicity 8441 Men’s Cowboy Shirt pattern, which I’d altered and fit last summer for a pair of rainbow shirts. I could use my already altered (and transferred to quilters grid) pattern pieces so I knew it would fit.
