Seems each wednesday I'm searching for a topic I get sucked into the store windows along 16th Street. Yep, I'm a shopper. Candystore is a quirky retro-esque girlie shop geared toward the teen to twenty something scene. I'm feeling so old that this time period seems forever ago. I can hardly remember what it felt like to sit around and preen in front of my bathroom mirror for hours. You know, I just don't miss that. What caught my eye in this vanity set up was the kitchy unicorn ceramic. What is the deal with the mythical unicorn and why are they constantly associated with teenage girls? Well as I read on in Wikopedia (my new favorite source for immediate information), I learn that there is a lovely christian connection declaring that the unicorn represents chaste love and faithful marriage. Well there you have it folks, unicorns (nice horn) are only attracted (and then tamable and of course captured) by female virgins. Ah, the parable of true christian love (which leads to marriage of course). Hence the teen chick thing. Aren't you glad I cleared that up for ya?
