Hoity Toity

Hoity Toity is a fancy Earth pony and a major representative of the fashion world from Canterlot. The term "hoity toity" means "self-important, haughty, or pompous". Hoity Toity's character design is based on German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. His accent is a distinct Locus Valley Lockjaw, similar to Jim Backus' Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island.

History
Hoity Toity first appears in the episode Suited For Success, having arrived in Ponyville to see Rarity's fashion show. Having seen her "perfect" dresses, which are much-revised versions of Rarity's original designs, he gives a very critical review, calling the dresses "a piled-on mish-mash of everything but the kitchen sink". This almost ends Rarity's career, until her friends convince Hoity Toity to come back, and give Rarity another chance. In contrast to the first fashion show, when he sees Rarity's original ensemble of dresses, he is very impressed and recommends featuring her clothes in his fashion boutique in Canterlot, requesting a dozen more of each dress to be created "by Tuesday".

"Hello... oh, this can't be the same designer."
