Unicorn Man


I truly think this is rager, scene, candy kid culture, I don't think he's gay. But just in case we'll bring the sexuality conversation into this. Please note the hooves. This ladies and gentleman is a horned horse.

Jesus Unicorn

So here we are on Sunday bouncing from one horned horse to another. In the mythology of the unicorn you can only capture a unicorn by baiting it with a virgin. The unicorn is a symbol of "oneness." God is meant to be the monotheistic ONE. There is a story about a time that God, the ONE, went to a virgin and then we have the birth of Jesus. So it is my theory that unicorns may be a biblical allusion.

Flo Unicorn

Unicorn reference! Moving from movies into more pop-culture woo. Flo our good friend at Progressive Insurance lives in a lovely place doesn't she?

The Tudor Unicorn

Check out the Wikipedia article on this one. "The supporters change sides and both appear wearing the crowns of their respective Kingdom. The dexter supporter is a crowned and chained unicorn, symbolizing Scotland. The sinister supporter is a crowned lion, symbolizing England." This is a continuation of the period pieces. They are crucial because the "European" unicorn is one of the most accurate portrayals of a unicorn. So FINALLY enjoy a REAL UNICORN!

A Knight's Tale Unicorn Cameo

Similar to the Polar Bear King post the unicorn references give a cultural reference point to the time period. Here is a subtle design that few notice. One of the trophies won by the hero of this story happens to feature a unicorn. But this is simply a horned horse... it perhaps may even be part of the horse's armor. Until tomorrow... just a horned horse

Who Framed Roger Rabbit Unicorn

To continue with goofy cartoon representations and to get back to movies, here is the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Look closely at who makes a cameo. While these posts are not featuring movies with significant unicorn appearances the are showing that if you look you will see a unicorn once a day. They are everywhere. Unfortunately, even though this is a baby "unicorn" it is still just a horned horse... it is the tail that is the most telling.

Betty Boop Unicorn



I haven't read Alice in Wonderland. So there is a bit that I'm missing but from the little research I've done I hear that there is a bit of a conversation between the unicorn and the lion. This will be a argument I will continue to comment on. Here is a clip from Betty Boop as her adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. There he was a staple in the story, the Unicorn.

Polar Bear King Unicorn

Speaking of kings (and bringing it back to movies) "The Lady and the Unicorn" tapestry makes an appearance in the Polar Bear King. I have to watch the movie again more closely to get a better idea of what the reference was. Other than to give a definite time period reference there was no comment here about virginity, homosexuality, or imagination. The movie is based in a fantasy world so all that I can imagine is that this was the best way for them to make reference to unicorns existing this world. Nothing here informs any of my theories, this post is simply a day of unicorn documentation. Enjoy

Obama Unicorn Part Two

It is important to emphasize that the flow of these posts won't make much sense. The hope is to find a new unicorn every day. No matter where it is. But I can't simply google it. The unicorn has to find me or be brought to my attention one way or another. So after yesterday's post a good friend of mine shared this beauty with me. Enjoy!

OKCupid Unicorn


In the mythology of the unicorn that I have been writing. The blue heron is the unicorn's grandmother. This boy has Blue Heron in his OKCupid handle. But alas more accurate horn but still a horned horse.

Wiggins Unicorn

Why the unicorn? The circus and safari based animals make a lot of sense. But unicorn is an addition that has no relevance, other than a subtle decision to comment on Wiggins' sexuality. Yes that's right we're looking at the character Wiggins from the Disney movie Pocahontas.  Some unicorn homo action in surprising places. Unfortunately horse tail and what looks to be horse hooves.

Unicorn Drawing



Katherine the Great stopped in to deliver a gift for me! A drawing of a unicorn in her "birthday colors" of Red White and Blue. Part of my intentions with this blog is to post unicorn creations while having a discussion about types of unicorns. So for a simple Sunday post here is a drawing of a "unicorn."
