Do you believe in unicorns?


We are no strangers to the incredible power that social media has in the six short months that we've been up and running  as a blog we've experienced so much thanks to it. We have made amazing friendships and become apart of an amazing community. Its this community that makes events such as this one possible and we couldn't be happier for it. A unicorn? The mythical creature that is a horse with a horn? What does that have to do with fashion? (EVERYTHING because its magical as is our wardrobe,in the sense that it somehow magically fits all our clothes despite its size haha).Well in our world a unicorn isn't the beautiful horse that we think of but rather a beautiful dress/skirt/top/pants etc. that is discontinued and  incredibly hard to find so you search high and low in hopes of finding it. (like searching for a mythical creature). "It is a monstrous thing, to slay a unicorn" quote from Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone by JK Rowling and we don't condone it however acquiring clothes unicorns is another thing entirely and thats what we intend to do. A unicorn can be different to each person and comes down to preference (which you will see from the photos we compiled of friends showing off their personal unicorns!). Since this week was a theme made by one of the groups we are in that branched off another PUG group,it  was originally supposed to be just Unicorns from Pinup Girl Clothing (PUG) but within the last year PUG has been rereleasing a bunch of unicorns making them easy to find hence them no longer being unicorns. Due to this, the majority who wanted to participate (us included) did not have enough pug unicorns for a week and so we opened it to any pinup brand and all unicorns (because we don't judge your unicorn!). The two lovely ladies who helped orchestrate the whole event are featured below, they are magical unicorns all on their own & we highly suggest you give them a follow. Without further ado,prepare for unicorns from different kinds of pinup brands to grace this blog post!

The last unicorn
This is a special section dedicated to all the ladies who participated,including some who even decided to match with us. Now if you doubted the power of social media & the wonderful close knit relationship of the pinup community before,you won't after looking through this compilation of photos. Ladies from all parts of the world,all walks of life,races,religion etc. joined in to help make this amazing event not only possible but a huge success. They gave us a place to feel welcome in and share our love of all things pinup and vintage related. It isn't just about the clothes for us although thats what initially brought us together,its a shared place of belonging and we are so lucky to have found such a remarkable group of ladies. Theres not much more we can say without emotions getting the best of us,so we'll let the pictures do it for us.
