For a very good reason, Anthro Princess Celestia always hosts the Grand Galloping Gala completely naked.

Twilight Sparkle has to explain this reason, to keep Rarity from fainting every five minutes.

I left out all the titillating "Mature" rated content.

What did you do that?

Seems like a circumventable enough issue, but I'm not complaining.

*Why

As in why do you keep questioning everyone you see? 😐

"In order to dress up for the Gala, Princess Celestia would have to choose. One designer would get the contract, and all the other designers would feel left out. It wouldn't be fair.

Princess Luna runs in and out of the room every five or so minutes, each time wearing a different off the rack outfit from a different merchant. Hay-Mart, Tarzhay, Wallflower-Mart...she doesn't leave anyone out. That's how important it is to the Royal Sisters not to play favorites!"

Wow I never really thought about how every little thing the princesses do might be taken the wrong way. I can't imagine how horrible that must be. Having to be in totally control of your emotions and behavior all the time, so that others don't misinterpret the situation.

Hay-Mart, Tarzhay, Wallflower-Mart...

Im catching Walmart, Target, and Hay-Mart is tough to figure out

K-Mart. It's not surprising if you didn't remember it, that retail chain is on the verge of going the way of Blockbuster. Last I checked only 3 stores are left in the U.S.

K-mart, i think.

I find this very amusing. And we need art of a tiny Twilight sleeping inside the softest pillows.

short, clever, and sweet. A nice read
Thank you for writing this

Which is really sad since when they go, Sears does too.

I my town still has a functioning Sears

Three stores left in the *continental* United States, six in the territories. This is actually rather important because the whole reason those six are hanging on is they're virtually the only retail stores *at all* in their respective areas.

thats sad and scary in equal measures

That's the trouble with being a national leader: everything you do comes under scrutiny. So you have to sacrifice what you may want to play a part that others want you to play.

"She does!" Twilight agreed. "At a very formal, fancy event, Princess Luna is indeed the opposite of her sister. Princess Luna runs in and out of the room every five or so minutes, each time wearing a different off the rack outfit from a different merchant. Hay-Mart, Tarzhay, Wallflower-Mart...she doesn't leave anyone out. That's how important it is to the Royal Sisters not to play favorites!"

She's a walking billboard.

Giant naked Princess Celestia actually makes sense. A fun story!

The woman is at least 1,010 years old. And an immortal sovereign. Not only can she get away with being naked in public with her physical and societal power alone.

In our world, a thousand years ago, naked adults carrying their clothes with them to the nearest public bath in places like France, and the Northern Italian peninsula were familiar as both areas in Europe bathed at least once every two weeks.

So even if she is naked to avoid playing favorites, she is also naked because nudity wasn't that taboo when she was young. The ancient woman just refused to change her mindset on it.

If I could pay a thousand I would hire an artist for this very illustration.

It sucks. She built a wealthy and prosperous nation and gave plenty to her subjects but she herself can not do as she wishes because it might cause unexpected consequences.

Canon says she got her cutie mark 1111 years before a specific episode where Pinkie decided that was relevant.

Much funnier is that Luna was gone for even closer to a thousand years, which according to Wikipedia means that her speech patterns in her debut episode should have been roughly twice as archaic as they actually were. Of course, that would have made her utterly incomprehensible to the target audience (and, to be fair, most adults as well)...

Kmart is a fascinating story. You should look it up! They've gone [or filed for it] bankrupt at least fourteen times already, heh.

Love this story! Very few on this site feature nudity without being porn

Rarity would be all, "AHH! SHE'S NAKED!"

Hello! Have a review. Certainly an original idea, and props for that. Not sure why it doesn't have the [Anthro] tag, admittedly. Didn't quite click for me, but I'll admit anthro has always been a tough sell.

I fear that Luna’s approach is doomed.

The truly determined would attempt to read something into the order in which Luna outfits are displayed. There would be constant debate as to whether “First gets preference” or “Saving the best for last” applies, but that just means that whichever are in the middle are clearly inferior, unless somepony really pushers for a bell-curve interpretation…
