Unicorns

Before Unicorns it was Fairies. My DGDs keep me up to date with the new trends. TBH it is very useful to me as I make illuminated decorated Mason jars & sell them at Craft Fayres. My biggest seller at the moment is a fairy riding a unicorn!
Dinosaurs never go out of fashion though.

it's the same with gin for adults a rue years ago it was prosecco

Frankie, that was a lovely ditty. Thank you for sharing. The tune sounded vaguely familiar so maybe I've known of it in the distant past but certainly didn't remember any words. Just good clean fun. Lovely.

Haven't you all heard the saying " just be yourself and if you can't be yourself, be a unicorn
Haven't you read this thread and seen I posted a picture with this saying on?

Oh I always broke my heart when I heard that song Frankie74 oh those silly unicorns ?

Unicorns are real ! Just rare

Yes DD, I had forgotten about the flamingos. My GC still like them but now in background compared to unicorn and pokemon.

I wondered the same thing; unicorns only ever mentioned in childhood stories until now.
Also why have flamingos suddenly appeared on everything as well?

Unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. Haven't you all heard the saying " just be yourself and if you can't be yourself, be a unicorn. "". As happens it's a fad at the moment and will pass, don't worry about it.

My little granddaughter lives in Australia, and her daddy is Peruvian. The family have been delighted with the llama-themed clothes I have sent over for her. The craze hasn't appeared over there yet.
Most crazes are instigated by manufactures as a way of selling more 'stuff' through pester-power. How many Christmas jumpers have been sold this year, and who started THAT craze, I wonder?

Interesting. I was having this very conversation with a friend yesterday. We were applauding the 'skills' of marketing in that they gradually made unicorns desirable by including them surreptitiously in adverts. Don't know how it came about but hats off to the engineers if it was deliberate in gentle introduction brainwashing mode. Very clever and certainly succeeded methinks.

Yes the Unicorn is the National Animal of Scotland.

As for the toys and gimmicks etc it is just another twist on commercialism to get folks to buy. The other one at present is the Pink Flamingo which is everywhere and causing a flurry of room changing and buying.

Probably from the same place they got ninja turtles and irate birds! I am also baffled by festive llamas and half an avocado decorations for the tree - I think I must be getting old ??

I posted a link to little Agnes from Despicable Me up thread Lesley4357 my DD has it as her ringtone !

Might be from the Despicable Me (Minions) films. The small girl in these films is obsessed with unicorns bs

I love Cacti too trendygran and have several lovely ones dotted around the house . They have bit me a few times mind you . Prickly little critters they are !

My 11 year old granddaughter loves Llamas and they do seem to be very popular. Her older sister loves cacti! Not sure where that came from,but now surprised that quite a few items do feature cacti.

Wishing to leave the EU with no adverse consequences is known as a “unicorn”.

But many say it’s a price worth paying and signify this sentiment by flaunting their unicorns.

One of the Queen’s Beasts is the Unicorn and the emblem for Scotland. Cf Royal Mint

Llamas have taken over unicorns now

frozen is very much gone now in my charity shop we get loads of stuff from it noone buys. ive always collected unicorns love them at the moment pineapples and unicorns seem to be in i think its a bit late to blame harry potter for unicorns! its just another marketing fab cleverly and subtly introduced to brainwash children to pester their parents!
