Line 332:
*** Would it have? Applejack and Rarity don't seem to have made much small talk before "Look Before You Sleep", if any, and Sweetie Belle doesn't even live with Rarity most of the time. It wouldn't surprise me if the subject was never mentioned to Applejack. Also, keep in mind that for adults like Applejack and Rarity, getting a cutie mark is no big deal; certainly not a great topic of discussion or matter of concern. It was a plot point that Apple Bloom being teased over and ashamed of her lack of a cutie mark was a problem no one else could really understand, except Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo.
* Just what is Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's talent anyway?

Line 406 ⟶ 405:
*** I judge it a 3-2 victory for Rarity's designs on humanized Ponies. I think the human versions of Rainbow and Twilight pull the looks off better than the pony versions. Rarity's dress wasn't judged because there is no quote-unquote "ugly" version of it.
** How much of [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g8VfdWzt6tQ/S9HR6HNU0rI/AAAAAAAAAPo/Hy_bISB1-dU/s1600/dior-haute-couture-ss-2007-500x3282.jpg French haute couture] ISN'T hideous and overdone (that's Dior in the photo, btw)
*** Not a bad point. See also [https://web.archive.org/web/20110528070215/http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/beatrice-hat-460.jpg Princess Beatrice's hat].
** The sketch seems to be in Rarity's drawing style, so I would assume that was one of her standard example sketches and not a representation of Fluttershy's specific request. The end result ''is'' probably due to some target drift from the original concept, though.
** The whole concept of "French Haute Couture" bothers this troper. So is there a pony parallel to France? Prance?
** As for French Haute Couture, I think it's simply a name, having nothing to do with France or the French. I think it's just the name for the style, a bit like saying something is Steampunk or Victorian.
*** Alternatively, it's actually spelled French OAT Couture in MLP'verse, and has to do with something called "french oats" which is a plant that is edible and can also be used to make fabric (hey, in the real world, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921114035/http://www.ecofashionworld.com/Glossary/Milk-Fabric.html they have figured out how to make fabric from milk]) and the style is absurdly "nature"-y which would explain how it came out so ridiculous.
** Doylist answer: [[Most Writers Are Human]]. Watsonian answer: the ponies simply have a word ("French") which by pure coincidence can be used like ours.
Line 740 ⟶ 739:
** They don't live in our society, so the equivalent of 80s fashion wouldn't neccessarily be 20-30 years ago for them.
** She was a pre-teen, or young teen though. 20-30 Pony years seems about right.
** The tie-in comics reveal that Cheerilee was in the same high school class as Shining Armor, so that's probably not her.
* Pinkie Pie's "And that is how Equestria was made"... now that I think about it, it is more like an expression than a literal statement. But it confused me then since Pinkie Pie is known to be [[Literal-Minded]]. Besides, Pinkie Pie then offered that she will tell the story of how she gained her cutie mark. Unless, by "And that is how Equestria was made", she means "And that is how she started her party spree" instead of "And that is how she gained cutie mark", it can really sound weird.
Line 751:
* Fluttershy says that she had never been on the ground before and didn't all of the animals were there, but then how did she know what the names of the animals were?
