^ that's just a reference to where my magpies are kept and how many of them I have..... 
I'm Hazel, and I am a (recovering) magpie addict. I have about 120 magpies, most of them OF, some of them Customs and a few random bodies, awaiting reinvention. I love magpies because they're cheap, realistic and incredibly versatile for customising!
I got my first Magpie in 1989/90 (can't really remember) for my birthday. She is a white arab called "This is Magic" (Magic for short), part of the "Arab Showjumper" gift-set they offered at the time. She has a black foal called "Thunder", purchased a few weeks later with my birthday money.
I got two magpies a year, one for my birthday and one for Christmas, every year up until I was 13, when my Mum refused to fund my 'sad' model horse habit anylonger, and insisted on buying me hair dryers, clothes and make-up for my presents - the rest of the family followed suit. Luckily I got a job pretty soon after and spent most of my money buying magpies!
I've not brought any for a while, because they aren't available at the moment and there haven't been many for sale second hand, but my last purchase was a bit of a 'grail' - two models from the Second Personality Collection, one of which I had wanted since I had my very first catalogue!
I also collect Julips, which is a much more expensive, financially damaging habit
I have a few pics saved on this computer, I think, so I'll go and post some pics of my collection!
