Social pariah like you've never seen before.
Daisy has only one dream: to go to Canterlot and be a pony fashion model. Although anypony that looks at her face can tell, it's not something that's gonna work out.
My last-minute ditch effort for the Equestria Daily Outside Insight Summer Fanfic Contest

This was lovely! Onwards to fashion for all nonponies!
I have to admit, I was ready to be disappointed after the comment about it being a last minute entry, but this thing really captured my heart.
I'm not going to lie: there's not much in the way of writing skill on display (though, raw competence with grammar is a good start for this competition). That, however, takes very, very little away from how much of an absolute delight this was to find. So much heart in such a simple thing.
Thank you:
I gave it a 6/10. Prompt use: Weak

Fashion for all.
*boo*
Very well, no fashion for anypony.
*boo*
Hmm... fashion for some, miniature Princess Celestia flags for others.
*cheers*

I wasn't trying to undersell it, I was just literally running out of time and ideas when the deadline started looming. So I wrote in 2 days what I should have written in 20. I'm glad it turned out... passable? and to your liking.
4870779 I gave it a bit of an extra spotlight in today's judging post. So yeah, I like it. :)
Maybe I can get it a bit more attention.

You got my vote. Twirling, twirling, twirling into the future.
The reveal in the middle was well done. And it's a good message, fashion should be for everyone, I think Rarity would be all over this.

It makes no difference which one of us you vote for. Either way, Equestria is doomed. DOOMED.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love you for actually getting that reference.

Thanks. I was afraid that it being written for a contest that requires an outside insight into pony society might take something away from it.

I'll just vote for a third party candidate then. Take that!

Just go ahead. Throw your vote away. muahahaha

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was (also thought that Daisy would be a cow, given the title and all.) I give it a 8 out of 10.
This is beautiful, bravo. My only complaint(Very minor too!) is that I didn't realize Daisy was a Donkey, I confess I thought she was a heifer at first. If you edit this fic at all I'd recommend adding some mention of her long ears or somesuch, something to hint as to her species. Simply because I was picturing a cow all this time only to suddenly need to adjust my mental image ^^;
This is a beautiful touching piece about the power of character and personal strength.

I kinda chose the name Daisy to leave her identity as ambiguous as possible. I thought it would fit both, a pony and a donkey (and now that you point it out, a cow too). For that same reason I avoided any pointers that could give it away, leaving only basic hints like her hooves and her mane. But I guess when you enter a contest that explicitely requires you to write from a non-pony POV, her actual race doesn't become such a stunning revelation.
Glad you two liked it.
I wish you'd been more up-front about her species. I spent the first half of this story thinking she was a cow, thus making the situation both more ridiculous and more confusing (why is no one more shocked that she wants to be a model?) That said, you pull this off well, though I quibble at Photo Finish's dialogue. It's not really flamboyant, as she was in the show.

I do have to concede that point; Photo Finish really got the short end of the stick. I lacked the time to really give her dialogue that personal touch. Probably an issue I should revisit in a future edit.
God, I already cringe at having to deal with that Austrian accent.

Best advice: DON'T DO IT. Just think of the ways she would phrase sentences, the word flourishes, not so much how they would sound. Try and imagine her speaking your lines. Admittedly, this is easier with major characters, but she sure does make an impression in that episode. And anyone who's seen it can supply the accent themselves.
I actually thought that she was a murderer model, or a hitman (pony, filly? donkey?) Model In the beginning. ...rainbowwild:

Murderer, huh?
Anyway, I fixed it. Thanks a bunch.
