Shame on me, really shame on me, for being away from deviantART for so many ages and missing out on seeing this picture... my dearest Daniel, I am so very sorry that it took me such a horrendously long time to respond to this, and that I left you hanging for so long... I really do feel absolutely terrible about that! This artwork is absolutely adorable, and just as before I can't even begin to express to you how much I appreciate it, as well as your extraordinary thoughtfulness to begin with! I really just love everything about this picture; Rarity adores hats as I do, pink and purple actually are my most favorite colors ever (how did you know?) and my favorite pony's expression is just fantastic here... I love the way you did the pretty sparkly spangled background and her fabulous manestyle as well, even! I really, truly cannot even begin to fathom what you could possibly be talking about when you say that you don't think you care for it anymore, because Iit, and in my opinion at least it is wholly lovable and charming, just like Rarity herself.Once again, thank you so so much for doing this for me and for being such a thoughtful person, and please do accept my apologies for not seeing it for so long, and not expressing my proper gratitude in due time. It's long overdue at this point, but really, I appreciate it so much!
