No Shrinking Violet, He! (And a New Vocab Word for Our Younger Readers)

I took the Pinky:st girls to Boston, but they never once made it out of the camera bag. A certain reptile bogarted what little spare time I had available for touring and photographing.

New Pinkys coming soon, though! It's well past time for another photostory. All I need is time and ambition... and a halfway decent idea!

Yay, new Pinkys.
Time, ambition ... Hmm.
Idea?
You're a teacher. What happens when, halfway trough the year, you introduce some new pupils to the class?

btw, what's the plural of a Pinky:st?
Pinkys:st
Pinkies:st
Pinky:sts
Pinkys:sts
...
*falls over confused*

I'm confused, too. "Pinkies," to me, looks like it means fingers or toes or something. Adding the ":st" makes it even more difficult. Grammatically correct or not, I've settled on the non-standard "Pinkys" based on "Pinky" being a proper noun.
