Other dub names: Holiday Mail (Studio 100)
Reading a magazine, Rosa finds out that the ribbons are out of fashion. She pulls out all her daisy pins from the closet, burns them in the yard, and returns to reading. From the magazine, she learns that heart-shaped clips are the latest trend and can be ordered by mail.
On New Year's Eve, the package finally arrives, and Rosa happily rushes home with it. Dokko watches her and bemoans that a telescope he ordered has not been delivered yet. Returning home, Rosa eagerly opens the box, but finds out that the box contains Mysharik, a yellow mouse sleeping inside, instead of clips. After waking him up, she finds out that he threw away some pieces of iron that pricked and prevented him from sleeping. Rosa cries bitterly about the lost clips. Mysharik comforts her and says that the clips have already gone out of fashion, and that he is a famous fashion designer himself. He gives Rosa a lot of advice, makes her clothes and hairstyles from improvised items. In parallel with this, he makes a mess in the house and eats all the food.
Rosa asks him what else will be fashionable this season. Mysharik replies that the ribbons. Rosa is surprised, as they have already gone out of fashion. Mysharik hastily grabs a fashion magazine, flips through it, and says that heart-shaped clips are now in fashion. Rosa realizes that Mysharik has been deceiving her all this time. She is prepared to teach him a lesson, but a roar of fireworks occurs outside the window, and she closes her eyes in surprise. Mysharik uses this as an opportunity to run away. Rosa stays in the middle of the mess. Among the scattered things, she finds one of her old pins, making her usual hairstyle, and decides to celebrate with her friends.
Tropes:
- Big Eater: Mysharik eats all the food in Rosa's house.
- Continuity Nod:
- Rosa’s fashion magazine includes the photos of "My Precious" perfume and Lily Marlene.
- After Mysharik has chosen a fashionable outfit for Rosa, a rubber suit from "The Gift" can be seen in one of the corners.
- Here We Go Again!: The episode ends with Dokko getting a box with what is supposed to be a telescope inside, only for three Mysharik-like creatures to peek out of it. Cue credits.
- Human Mail: A mouse mail in this case. Mysharik is delivered in the same package as Rosa's clips were supposed to, but he got rid of them, leaving her surprised and very disappointed when the box is delivered to her.
- No Name Given: For the entire episode, no one calls Mysharik by name.
- Shout-Out: The scene in which Rosa wakes up Mysharik and pours water on it is a reference to a similar scene
from the film The Irony of Fate.
