Description
So I was looking around on MLP-ATG and was reading their newest theme for this week, "a pony from another decade."

In their description, they mentioned flappers as an example.

Which made me think of the American 1920s-1930s.

Which made me think of the Prohibition Era.

Which made me think of gangsters from that era.

Which made me think of pony gangsters.

Which made me think that I needed to make that a reality ASAP.

Thus the above pic. Further inspirational credit also goes to the webcomic Lackadaisy (which revolves around prohibition and rumrunners in the year 1927) and there are a variety of little references to said comic, like the three of clubs in Dash's hatband, Pinkie's tie, the addition of a tommy gun, and the color of Pinkie's hat to name a few. Heck, even the choice to give Pinkie that super-big smile connects back to Lackadaisy.

Originally I was only going to have Rainbow in this, as she seemed to be the natural choice, but I later realized Pinkie would work just as well, and when I realized I couldn't think of a way to put an overcoat on Rainbow Dash (without covering the pinstriped vest too much) I added in Pinkie, then added the boxes of their "goods" for added effect.

How Rainbow can use that tommy gun with those hooves is beyond me.
