Unicorn Cowboy

While thinking of "New Year's Resolutions" I wonder if "GO TO BURNING MAN" counts. I guess that's more of a detail for the "Bucket List" 

Wilam Unicorn

Girl is at it again. I love Wilam's style but I wonder if she know's that her inlusion of the unicorn is perpetuating my theme of homosexual representation OR if there is a phallic insinuation with the placement. I'm going to pretend that this unicorn is giving us beard and dub this a real unicorn. GET IT 

Unicorn Anniversary

Two years ago I fell into what would eventually be love with a boy as obsessed with Britney Spears as I am with Unicorns. Happy Anniversary Robbie McDonald 

Or should I say happy Halloween???

(This is neither of us. This is the result of typing in "Britney Spears Unicorn" into Google Image Search)

Unis the Unicorn

The most recent costume worn for the first time. My assumption is that this is the photograph of the professor taking the creature back to his study for further research.

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.

Mozart Unicorn

To stay in the theme of costumes movies and music videos I give you "Amadeus Mozart" in the movie Amadeus. This happens to also be appropriate for Dia de los Muertos as a representation and celebration of those past. I am willing to believe that this is a more accurate unicorn specifically in the shaping of the jaw and ears. I am very open minded about the shaping of the horn however the length is crucial. A unicorn horn is generally larger that two feet.

Halloween Costume Unicorn

In honor of the day naturally the need to post a costume. Thank you for continuing to share through Facebook. This is the result of improper representation of unicorns through pop culture. I enjoy the humor of the wig but unfortunately we have a bastardization of the beloved unicorn at the expense of unnecessary humor. Through future projects I hope to use images like the above and describe them as atrocities. I will dress in a full three piece suit and explain how we need to advocate for the appropriate representation of the unicorn. These performances will travel to the places that religious and anti abortion groups are protesting to reexamine the act of "preaching" which I use to mean forcefully pushing your beliefs blindly on others. 

Another Music Video Unicorn

So I thought I'd go through a few new pop culture unicorn music videos then transition into some movie clips. I think that this is an absurdist video, please note that I'm not calling it absurd look up absurdism, I truly enjoy absurdism I'm just not sure what the relevance is in Kesha's Blow music video. Anyway friends here's

Unicorn Costume

After yesterday's post I thought I would share the progress on my costume. Still some technical hurdles but I'm excited to have a wearable unicorn again. While I indent to make many changes to the texture of the unicorn I'm going to bring this to a wearable stage before putting on the final layers. Updates as the come but for now here you are.

Guess who's back?

Hello hello!
I finished my unicorn costume yesterday (well constructed it to a place of satisfaction for this stage) and decided I would wait until a unicorn came along. Enter the pop culture informed boyfriend. He sends me this link of a Nicki Minaj music video.. It's interesting that this is all happening around Halloween and further that this video is posted in the context of my work and my current projects. Today I'm weaving cloth that will soon become a mermaid tail. So it is very fitting that this fairytale music video be the first unicorn for my third attempt for daily unicorn posting.
I used to struggle with pop culture appearances of ideas I've had, I think that's something all "inventors" find to be a motivation eraser. But as I've been creating and finding my visual themes I'm realizing that this may have many of the same visuals it says nothing to my concepts. I'm finding that going through processes just to experiencing them turns out to be extremely education and opens my mind to new ideas. Also now that the depth of my research is expanding I'm able to compare ideas to discover what works and what doesn't. For example I find the "War Horse" costumes to be far more inspiring than Nicki's unicorn costume.

Also I'm beginning to become very frustrated with the misrepresentation and lack of creativity in the "horned horse." Two fundamental unicorn physical characteristics are constantly misrepresented. Unicorns have cloven hooves and the horns are at least two feet long when fully grown.
So today I will present Nicki's Unicorn costume as my unicorn for October 27th 2012 

Halloween Unicorn

I officially have seen a Unicorn on Halloween for every year I have been documenting my unicorn search. "Two out of two ain't bad" Right Meatloaf? ....waaaaait.... Anywho here's the lucky lady

Plunger Unicorn

So I'm sitting on the couch watching old Laurel and Hardy clips with mom. All of a sudden they smack a guy in the head with a plunger and mom goes "LOOK THERE'S YOUR UNICORN" I couldn't find the exact clip but here's a clip from the episode and a plunger head man to give you an idea.

Facebook Stalking Unicorn

I'm not interested in forcing this. I want to naturally find a unicorn each day. On my way to posting an empty post with intentions of posting an image later, I stopped by facebook first. In my newsfeed I decided to investigate an image of a facebook friend wearing a Britney Spears t-shirt. I accidentally stumbled upon the "Mobile Uploads" album of a Miss Marie Madeleine Eife. I have never heard of this person before but we have 73 mutual friends. I am excited that my unicorn search has crossed paths with my experimental approach to my relationship with facebook.
