MLP fashion design event in Mexico

My aunt found this article in a magazine in Mexico.

It talks about how to close the 25th Anniversary of MLP, Hasbro organized a big event in Mexico where some Mexican fashion designers had to design outfits for some ponies. Apparently there was a big party to show off the designs.

(SR Edit: Added info from BabyExplorer )

A few key points about the Mexican version:

- Styling Starcatcher was used as the base
- There were designers who participated (and thus 10 ponies made)
- They were displayed for three weeks at the "Palacio de hierro"
- At the end of the three weeks, they were auctioned off at a live event.
- The money went to Fondo Unido
- Over 5500 Pesos were raised for the charity from the event

Here's a few links to check out if you're interested in more info. They're in Spanish, so if you don't read Spanish, maybe try running them through Babelfish or something:

That is cool looking. I'm glad that there are more pony events in other country than just the english speaking ones.

It also says they auctioned off all the creations. One of those would be awesome to have!

didn't they do this in another country previously?
Aw it would've been nice if they did that when you were in Mex PT and you could've gone! I LOVE the white pony. Those look like metal plates and those eyelashes are stunning! Thanks for sharing this

Those eyelashes are just too cool. It would be so neat to have one of the ponies they came up with.
