Add to it that he’s supposed to be “a long lost cousin”, and the whole attitude he was using for the character was a “upstanding high society gal”.

@Revenant Wings  
Well, considering just how big Big Macintosh is, a huge beehive hairdo is about the only thing “Orchard Blossom” could wear and look (barely) convincing.

@Revenant Wings  
To continue, especially being as exaggerated as it is considering it’s even larger than Aunt Orange back in “Cutie Mark Chronicles”.

For some reason, the bouffant annoys me.
 
Back in “Apple Family Reunion”, no one had that extreme of a hairstyle. The bouffant looks something closer to the city-dwelling Oranges moreso than the country/small town/farm-dwelling Apples, who all had something more subdued.

@Spearmint  
Nah, just weird designs

@Vinylshadow  
G3 had a crossdressing episode?

Oh god it’s G3 all over again

I really don’t know if I should watch that epsiode today now.

@Tragiclady  
Thank you! Personally I think it will all end up being in good fun, regardless of a few inevitable complaints.
 
Also, on a personal note, I would love a reveal where it turns out Big Mac has a natural talent for makeup in the same way Fluttershy turned out to have a “freaky knowledge” of sewing. It would just be the icing on the cake.

I mean, they crossdress in Saved By The Bell. How can people think its taboo in the present? <w<

If I could upvote comments, I would. You could probably send that to Big Jim Millar or M.A. Larson on twitter (Jim seems especially likely to read and respond to comments) although the 140 character limit is a bit short.
 
I’m hoping nobody will get offended at this episode, and it’ll be just good fun.

You know, I have this fear that no matter how innocuous or respectfully treated the cross dressing part of this episode is going to be (and I’m certain it will be, because of the kind of show this is), there’s going to be some unfortunate negative reactions to it. That said, I’d like to think that, regardless of how certain demographics will react to this episode, we all can agree on two things here. One, that Big Mac is truly a good brother for being willing to do something like this so his sister doesn’t have to miss an important event, and two, that he looks way better in makeup than most of us probably suspected.

I know. That look just says “Hey babe, take a trot on the wild side!”

Man, there’s something about Big Mac’s eyes in this shot.

Edited the source, either someone is being trolley or didn’t know how to post youtube urls but the time stamp in the url was at 15 seconds and the video is 15 seconds so it loads up and immediately flips to a next video in que which is annoying as it changes the url and you cant pause it fast enough so basically the url won’t work.

Do the name Ruby Begonia Jethrine strike a familiar note?

First time they referenced her in this show, perhaps?

HE LOOKS LIKE SNOOKIE!

Ask a brony (peripheral demo)? “This is madness! Larson has stooped so low this time!”
 
Ask a SWJ/Soccermom (moral guardians)? “Sacrilege! Crossdressing and homosexuality is forbidden and offensive! Think of the children! We must make Hasbro pull this episode from innocent eyes or we’ll sue!”
 
Ask a little girl(intended demo)? “Hee hee hee! The big pony looks funny like a girl!”

It’s funny how no ones even looking at him like after all the weird stuff they see everyday this doesn’t even show up on their radar.

The scary thing is, that’s actually a pretty decent makeup job. I’m willing to bet Rarity’s to blame for that.
