And so Zesty Gormand joins a long list of previously influential ponies whose professional reputations and careers have been destroyed by a colllision with one or more of the Mane Six. Other members of this club are Svengallop and Suri Polomare.

FWIW, her rise and fall once again reminds us that the mostly-unicorn inhabitants of Canterlot are pretty simple-minded fashion victims who will listen to and slavishly follow the diktats of anypony whom they are told know the 'right' (i.e. fashionable) way to do things. Of course, this means that Rarity is likely a hyper-important opinion-former in Canterlot society, both directly through The Canterlot Boutique and indirectly through her association with Fancy Pants and the Royal Family (via Twilight). I wonder if she knows it? It could make for an interesting episode if she has to have this explained to her and she needs to fix a problem that was caused by ponies taking her off-hand comments a bit too seriously.
