Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 14, 2012

It’s a fair cop!

I read every day, don’t comment every day, but I have to say love how precocious Phoebe is. She’s one of my heros.

This theme reminds me of a couple of things:

…There is not wind enough to twirlThe one red leaf, the last of its clan,That dances as often as dance it can,Hanging so light, and hanging so high,On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky…~The Last Leaf by Samuel Coleridge~

And a fantasy novel where the Fae court leaves the land when the last leaf of Autumn falls(sadly I can’t remember title or author now).

Hey, at least she didn’t call you dry and crunchy!

I knew it was a metaphor. She feels isolated or left out of the in crowd child socail network you silly unicorn.

I was down that road myself, only I learned to like being flaky. My horse doesn’t care, as long as I bring him treats.

She doesn’t have red hair, so how can she cop to Orange?

Orange is a pretty color.

She’s orange? Is she wearing an orange hat?

I love Phobe in a Barret. Cute.

flaky fits. Never heard any one say “I’ll cop to that”

Not really unicorn.

PHE looking inwards is too young to fret over death; an immortal like MAR (is she?) looking outwards would be the last person to mull over death..Orange must be skin. PHE can’t wear spring yellow like DAK (very few can), so she must be autumn skin tones. That’s the creams, gold, orange, olive, browns pallet., tho she did look good in the winter true black.

If I recall right Liz Taylor was the classic winter skin tone, Monroe was spring, Sophia Loren was autumn. Don’t recall summer it had a lot of soft pinks, no true yellow, or red, or blue

Hmmm, I think Phe was refering to the fact that she is stubborn and hard to let go of things. But I may be wrong. maybe she is orange and flaky.

Or it could be that she hangs on with tenacity no matter what else is happening.

Orange? There is only one thing that causes that. Bad spray on tanner.
