Please note: This is one of those blog entries which was supposed to have been posted much, much earlier. And there are more drafts which I intend work on and post before the year ends because they belong to the model horse going-ons of 2021. Without further yakking, off we go!
The giveaway tail from the Sneak Peek in September Collectors Club Newsletter was Susecion (let’s all be fake surprised, lol). She had been unicornified, along with Le Fire, into unicorns named Diadem and Alcor (# 712394):
I like Alcor’s black coat which has purple, blue, and gold shimmers, but I wish that Breyer had given Diadem a different coat color. I would have much preferred for her to have had the holographic pewter color that was used for the Breyerfest Uffington variation, and given a moon-themed name. Something unicorn-y like Crescent Dream, Lunar Wind, or Moondust (okay, I admit I am VERY bad at coming up with names). Or in keeping with unicorn names starting with the letter s (notably the Classic/Freedom Series) the name Selena would have fit right in with Sarafina, Serendipity, Sugar, Skyler, Solaris, and Solar Flare. An ancient Greek moon goddess, Selene predates those Olympian gods and goddesses as she was a Titan. Her brother was Helios, the sun god. A sun and moon unicorn pair would be magnificent, but unlikely. Oh, and no glitter on the unicorns. I like glitter, but not on unicorns. Definitely not on unicorns. Here is the pewter variation Uffington color I wish Diadem was:
Wouldn’t Diadem have looked smashing in that color with Alcor? Oh well, maybe we’ll get a unicorn in that color someday. I shall keep hoping, lol! Here are some photos of mama and baby together:
Photos of Alcor; it was a bit hard to photograph the multicolored shimmers:
