A commission for another one of the talented Estee's short stories, "Tricks of the Trade Show". This one does double duty as the intended cover to an eventual printed edition collecting a number of Estee's works. (Hopefully the first of many volumes.)

I really love stories about Rarity, especially prequels like this one which show just how much effort she had to expend in order to make her dream career come true. Rarity travels the long road to Canterlot with the father she feels she hardly knows in order to attend a fashion trade show where she will hopefully be discovered. She has the talent, and she has the drive, but as a young mare making her first step into the fashion world, does she really know what she's getting herself into? And if this one shot doesn't work out, what is left for her? Set in Estee's more complicated version of the Equestria we know from the show, it's an excellent read and highly recommended!
