I had one of these as a kid and is one of my first memories. The one in the photo I made for my son as a Christmas gift 4 years ago.
Tried a few shots with my sons hand reaching out for the rocking horse but gave up after a few tries. If you've ever used a Lensbaby you'll know it's tricky to find the sweetspot...couldn't get his hand postitioned correctly. Thought about switching over to the 50mm to go really shallow, but I wanted the unique Lensbaby look for this (besides, I don't think my son would've put up with much more posing). :-D
