Why don't yall have a show and tell of cutie marks? After all, nothings better than retelling the story of when you first got them :D
Party: I do hope you all don't mind me sitting this question out. It doesn't feel at all appropriate to hike up my skirt for a bunch of internet strangers. Rest assured, my Cutie Mark is indeed party related, and all your party needs are in good hooves, should you hire us.
Pulse: Good thing we don't wear pants!
Pulse: I got my Cutie Mark pretty late in the game. I was already in middle school, and everypony in my year had already gotten theirs. Still, I was pretty popular because I was the class clown, so I got invited to all the fun gigs.
Well, of course I got invited to the biggest party of the year! But when I got there, fashionably late, I found out that the DJ the host hired totally bailed on us! I didn't know a thing about Deejaying, but I went up to the rented booth anyway and just started messing around with it. Within minutes, I had everypony hyped and dancing, and I got my Cutie Mark! Pretty sweet, huh?
Candy: My turn! Okay, so, one day as a little filly I got invited to my cousin's birthday party! Super fun! I was really excited, but I didn't wanna just buy her a present and be done with it! I went to my Nana and asked her what I should do, and she said to make a gift!
I went into the kitchen and pulled down one of Nana's cookbooks. Only one recipe caught my eye, strawberry bonbons! They were my cousin's favorite, so I knew I had to make them! Long story short, Nana came in once I was done, gasped, and told me to look at my flank. Lo and behold, I had gotten my Cutie Mark while making candies!
((Mod: pretty cool they all got their Cutie Mark's thanks to parties, yeah? Birds of a feather!))
