My dark secret...not really

For those that know me personally I am pretty bad ass ;) I have tattoos and piercings and a bit of a leather boot addiction. I love riding thousand pound animals, boxed and swear like a merchant marine with turrets syndrome.

But...

I collect unicorns. Happy pink unicorns and hello kitty. My inner feminist vomits a little every time I buy one but I do in all their pink glittery glory. I don't know why but I love them. It started early with the Whisper the winged unicorn books (they came with stickers) I loved them. Then I got a My little pony, then another, then my grandpa was building a stable for them. The first thing I ever bought with my own money was a little stuffed unicorn I later named Lancelot. I wonder if my mom still has him? By the time I was in college I had quite a collection though sadly there was an accident with them and most where lost forever. It was sad but I get to start over again and that can be fun too. I did last year start back up with collecting them again. My favorite so far is a hand sculpted one someone made and was selling on EBAY. It is pink and has little fairy wings. My oldest and largest piece was recently broken by a houseguest. It went on tour with a rock group but didn't last 5 min with them. I need to figure out how to mend it. Hopefully you guys aren't too unicorned out. I want to do the day and night ones before I do the 4 seasons dragons. My current project has 7 paintings 2 of which are unicorns, so brace yourself ;) The Ash Evans Zodiac is declaring this year the Year of the Unicorn!
