Wuh! Sorry I took so long! I swore to myself I wouldn't use someone else's image and had to draw my own, so I've finally found time to do it aaaaaand...

ROUND 2: WRITE A CAPTION

Yep, more caption fun! But the caveat to this one is that you must make this fashion-related somehow. Somehow somehow. Also, it doesn't have to be something Rarity says, but it can. You have until 11:59pm of Sunday, July 17th to post a caption! Remember, only those still in the contest can post entries so our poor friends Cloudgazer, JaceNV, and logicow were shot down by parasprite kamikaze attacks and have been eliminated. I will eliminate another 3 from this stage, so make your caption good and drôle for the elite to enjoy.
:vogue:

(Also don't worry, the last round doesn't need any silly preparations from me so I'll have that one up as soon as this round's over.)

e: Minty Murderers were semi-acceptable in this contest because Tabitha St. Germain DID voice her after all. And remember, only Rarity's Roughnecks and by extension the Minty Murderers may post in here!

It was not, as she'd assumed, a term that referred to being mailed a new gown.

"Everything changed. It was at that moment that it all ended. My body persisted, but my spirit, my soul, what made me me died.

"I was a fashion designer. I had clients from Las Pegasus to Manehattan. I had some of the most famous ponies in Equestria for clients. I made dresses for the royal wedding. But I never attained widespread appeal. I had no idea why. So I attended one of those modern fashion shows. Figured I should know at least what the competition was doing.

Well! I must remove three of you fabulous folk, and it's not because I did not find them amusing. However! Wylie is eliminated for not having entered a caption. ToastGhost you were on time but I did not find your caption to have anything to do with fashion! And lastly, dayseeder, I tried as hard as I could to ask others if they got the meaning behind your caption but we could not decode it! I feel bad because maybe it was a clever thing but I ground my brain for an answer and came up with nothing. :rariwhat:

FINAL ROUND: DRESS UP RARITY

Did you think you would get away from this contest without designing anything? Well, I want you to put your fabulosity to work and use this pony creator to make Rarity and decorate her with high fashion! There are 3 main tabs of Create, Accessorize, and Pose for you to mess with. Yes, of course accessories may be limited, but lots of things are customizable and poses are very important in my judging. Here is a simple Rarity I've made that did not take long at all:

Unfortunately her eyes do not come with the usual eyeshadow, but you should be able to find the tail and mane easily. As for the colors, be sure to go into Advanced to change color picks to either Hex Code or Red/Green/Blue slider for an easier time. Feel free to either eyeball your colors or use Kefka's color guide. I do understand that this creator does not really do gradient colors nor lets you put on a cutie mark, so you can disregard that. You may also change Rarity's hair color if you like, but it better look good with whatever you decide to accessorize her with. Conversely, you can change her hairstyle, but the color should stay true to her original colors. Just remember that I need to be able to tell that this is RARITY. And remember, you can go into Custom Posing to move around individual parts of the body to your liking. I have messed around with this creator somewhat, so feel free to ask me questions on how to use it.

When you've got your design all done, go to any one of your 3 main tabs and go to Advanced. There, you should find a button that says "Export Pony + Background Image." Click that to save your creation, and find a free image host to upload your design. Save your Ponycode too on the same Advanced page, so that way you can go back and tweak yours if you feel the need. It should load all of your data if you re-open the pony creator and paste it in the box under the Advanced page and hit "Generate pony from code." Lastly, DO NOT add anything or edit your entry with any other program unless it's to save your image as a different format (but why would you need to anyway?), and do not post an entry unless you are still in the contest.

For this last and final round where I pick the best looking Rarity, you have until 11:59pm PST of Saturday, June 23rd to submit your entry. If you do not even submit an effort entry, I will forcibly take away your gangtag! You have been warned! Now get to work! Play this song on repeat while you do it!

Nah, I wouldn't yank your gangtag, but it was good of you to at least explain instead of flat dropping out. Unfortunately you got to this party too late and I had to eliminate 3 people, you included. Sorry.

And dear god everyone's making some crazy things! If everyone submits their entry before the deadline I can go ahead and judge for the winner instead of waiting until Saturday.
