And so we're back for another round of FiM. And, more Rarity drama. :yay:

It's been a while, but now the time is almost upon us :ponydrugs:

It should be decent at the very least since Rarity episodes always are, I wonder what is the price she'll have to pay? :cry:

I hope it's something different than just having to be away from her friends. That's a conflict that already briefly surfaced towards the end of Rarity Takes Manehattan, after all.

Interested to see how this plays out. The "price" is certainly the possibility of leaving Ponyville, but I wonder how they'll get around that. My first thought would be that Coco returns to run that branch, but it seems unlikely.

Tall, skinny, fancy-looking unicorns ain't too unusual. Just off the top of my head, in Canterlot alone we've seen Fleur a few times and also the front-and-center unicorn in this picture (from Princess Spike):

Rarity discovers that rent on storefronts in the capital city is atrocious. An accounting episode.

Taxes wouldn't be a problem for Rarity. I mean, she has a purple friend in an extremely high place.

I have often modeled my Saints Row character after Rarity. White suit, purple hair, red glasses. It works.

Perhaps this episode will be more about the different, increased demands of Canterlot's consumers, and how it's hard to maintain a personal touch when scaling a business.

Suited For Success was more about Rarity going too far to please her friends, a well-meaning effort that ultimately ended up coming out worse for everyone. I get the feeling that this episode will be more about Rarity struggling with maintaining what makes her work special on a large scale.

:v: Nope! It's the difficulty natually encountered when transitioning from a massively customizable business model to a mass production model.

Eagerly awaiting this one.

Opening after the mini-hiatus with nothing less than a Rarity episode. Sadly, I'll for once be quite unable to catch the live feeds, as I am attending a 25 years since graduation party this afternoon (whelp, now I feel old), and I will thus have to wait until tomorrow.

Still, this could potential be good fun. Whether the storyline is highly predictable ("is Rarity willing to move to Canterlot to give her new boutique the 100% it needs?"), or not ("delegation: it's also a part of friendship (kinda)"), Rarity episodes have nearly never failed to impress.
