Scootaloo's Aunts

Cuuute! Aunt Holiday and Aunt Lofty; what cute names too! Love this idea. It would be fun to see it referenced, even if in the background, within the show. Now I need Holiday and Lofty fan art.

I read the page in question. I wasn't convinced it was true (given the show hadn't done it) but Mike Vogel confirmed it himself so while still surprising, at least it's not an in-your-face mention but more of a subtle mention.

What do they look like?

We don't know the official appearance as they aren't really described in the book, but there's already fan art out there.

Though I personally assume Aunt Lofty looks like G1 Lofty

That's what I assume.

I really hope they appear in the show sometime! If heterosexual couples can appear in the show, then there's no real reason they shouldn't be able to show up, as well. I think it is important.

They'd BETTER put these two in the show! And very happy they used a G1 name. <3 Glory and Moondancer would be proud.

Hmm, Lofty, I believe Holiday is a previous generation reference. I'm going to admit more than anything this makes me think about the implications and how it explains some aspects of Scootaloo; first of all that Lofty only moved in recently which adds a bit to the ambiguity surrounding Scootaloo's ability to fly (the show hasn't directly stated one way or the other and everything we've seen could also be interpreted as her not being very good at it and being discouraged, since the Pony that's had the biggest part in raising her isn't a Pegasus she could just be behind the eight ball from having to figure mostly flying out on her own)

Plus the fact that the same part of the book mentions Scootaloo seeing Aunt holiday as being "interested in what was on her mind, unlike her parents"; granted perspectives are subjective, it could be that they want to spend more time with her but their jobs don't allow it, but it's still how she sees it and does explain both why she wanted Rainbow Dash's approval so badly in the earlier seasons and her perspective in Parental Glidence
