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

-The Extreme Unicorns

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!

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. 

Unicorn Disguise

No words necessary. Thank you Matt.

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!

Barak Obama Unicorn

Enjoy these amazing painting by Dan Lacey. Appropriate for the day I feel. Let the labels speak for themselves I won't bog this down with my thoughts.

Lady Gaga Music Video Unicorn

Here is a continued use of the unicorn as a homosexual symbol in Lady Gaga's Born This Way music video. She intertwines rainbows, lyrics about LGBTQAP community members, and the Holocaust based pink triangle with unicorns. There is a clear discussion about unicorns and their connection to the homosexual community. But it is hard to tell weather this is a comment about misconception of the gay community because she is incorrectly depicting unicorns. 

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

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
