^_^...well...I love all of my cels equally 
(sounds like my parents, lol)...honestly I could 
write a novel about my cels...and I only have 7. 
So I'll just tell the one with the most 
interesting story.

My chibi-moon cel!  I was kinda new to collecting 
cels, and at this point, the SM market was kinda 
crazy. I watched a black lady on ebay go for more 
than $400.  I really, really wanted a cel of 
anyone in the white and gold princess dress...but 
I didn't have the thousands of dollars to buy one 
of them.  I had been offering increasing amounts 
of money to different individuals (if you collect 
from SM, chances are you've heard from me ^_^) 
but had yet to get a taker.  I discovered celga 
and yahoo!japan,(back when there were new cels on 
it every couple of hours).  I saw his cel, and 
after calculating how much it was in US dollars 
(I bet all of us could estimate how much we are 
paying for a cel listed in yen pretty accuratley 
now...)I was amazed.  I sent in my bid to celga, 
but was the 2nd customer...It isn't very often 
that you're watching an auction and hoping for it 
go higher, lol. Every oppertunity I got, I was on 
the computer...I got a kinda adrenaline rush 
watching it go higher....in the final moments, 
the bidders were getting very close to my max bid 
(!), and then after it ended, I couldn't figure 
out how to view it...my email was actin' wierd 
and I didn't get the confirmation from celga...I 
was on edge for days, but I finally contacted 
them and found out I won.  When it arrived...I 
was just euphoric. Just before xmas!

OK, now on to the vitures of the actual cel...I 
didn't actually know what particular scene it 
came from until after I got it.  In this 
particular scene, she's inside pegasus's 
dimension...I simply could not have asked for a 
better time. I like chibi in her princess 
form...and this IS the ONE I wanted.  This is a 
charecter dream cel.  Chibi is not my favorite 
charecter (the pink spawn...)but I think that at 
times she is one of my favorite...she seems so 
serene (serene..seren-ity) and happy here...her 
eyes are varying degrees of red...Her hair has 
different shades of pink, and look very closely 
at her dress, and you can see that the shadows in 
the wrinkles are pink.  It's incredibly 
detailed...the beads on her dress are only a few 
times bigger than the point of a needle, but they 
are painted immaculatley.I love the bow on her 
back that is shadowed in an even different 
pink.and the little curls by her ears, just like 
her mom...and the teeny little earing that I 
never knew chibi had before that. It's labeled 
A5.  Luna art (www.luna-art.com) has one labeled 
A4.   This is in the running, along with the 
Queen Serenity ( ^_^)and the Eudial I seemed to 
snatch off Y!J from everybody, and the neptune 
bank cel...and the pluto bank cel...and....
