The Blue Fairy

I bought this on ebay a little while ago. If I understand correctly, this pin was given out to participants chosen to perform in a parade at Disneyland. A larger version was sold in the stores. I don't really collect Disney pins, I have one that was a gift and one I bought on impulse this past Christmas, but I thought if I should have one, this would be it.

The Blue Fairy from Pinocchio was the inspiration for my well-known online moniker. I have a dress somewhat like this one which I once wore whilst shopping in old town Pasadena (granted, we just had dinner at the Ritz). Maybe you saw me? Anyway, everyone thought I was Cinderella, but I decided I liked how blue fairy rhymed with Mary and here you go!

I think I'll dig out my old blue fairy tote bag and pin it on for my official marybluefairy outings.

The Blue Fairy

Sorry to be so lazy about checking in, work has been crazy!

My friend Ithilethiel sent me this fairy. I was walking around the house with it, looking for a place to put it, and I nearly banged into a wall. I'm a clutz! I especially like the wings and the little gazing ball.

I think this is the only Blue Fairy in my collection. Sideshow never released a Froud Blue Fairy, even though my avatar (see profile) has been a Froud painting for ages! In case anyone wonders, the avatar was supplied by my friend Gideon, who happens to have owned that painting, I think.
