‘Unicorn, mythological animal resembling a horse or a kid with a single horn on its forehead. The unicorn appeared in early Mesopotamian artworks, and it also was referred to in the ancient myths of India and China.’
A few years ago DG2 asked me to knit her a Lady Rainicorn. A sort of Unicorn with a long rainbow striped body. I think it came from a children's tv program.
Good question and I'd like to know how these fashions get started. Unicorns do seem to be on lots of things.
DGD is into them but has be very clear to make me understand that "Granny Unicorns aren't real".
When I asked her how she knew they weren't real she said "if they were real David Attenborough would have made a program about them".
OK, that's me told :-) I can't fault her logic lol.
Hasn't stopped her wanting Unicorns on her clothes and anything else she can get them on. And as my DD say "we've seen it all before with other fads so this too shall pass".
Yes, it’s been about for more than 2 years. Rather unicorns than Barbi. I think there are unicorns in the modern Noddy cartoons from the USA. I wish we didn’t import so much rubbish from there!
It’s been a craze for one of ours for three years. When not in school uniform she’s dressed from head to foot in unicorn embellished clothes. Could be worse I guess .
My DGD (10) is obsessed with unicorns, llamas and now narwhals , which I am ashamed to admit I thought she’d made up
She is a very happy child with a very active inagination and likes the idea of living in this fantasy world of rainbows and strange and mythical creatures .
No idea, they just seem to have been around for years. On a similar theme i keep noticing llamas appearing. Cards, money boxes jumpers etc. Is this the next craze?
I was out shopping today and asked several shop assistants this question. " Can you tell me where the obsession for unicorns has come from? ". No-one seems to know, even google. They are just repeating that it is a phenomena without explanation.
Someone thought it came from Harry Potter but they hardly feature much. Any bright ideas?
