Oh so Hoot!

Disclaimer: I’m sincerely indebted to my colleague APD for this new found muse (the Owl) of mine!

No, I’m not talking about any drop-dead gorgeous starlet or a man with killer Greek god looks here. In my eyes the hottest fashion icon today is none other than the wise old “Owl”! Why - Owls are dominating not just t-shirt chest prints and jewelry but there are silk saris and ethnic ensembles with embroidered and patch-worked owls as well as owl-inspired kitchen and home linen. Very moda if you please!
The owl, in flesh and blood would have never attracted so much female attention let alone interest. Its sole runway to fame and limelight was restricted to a really small number of National Geographic photo shoots. A couple of years back party animals would have never even dreamt of (probably even ridiculed) this nocturnal species of birds making it to page 3 had the pretty women of tinsel town not donned them at all the fancy events and galas and made the bird a big hit in fashion circles.

The owl, commonly branded as the harbinger of the dark power also epitomizes wisdom and mystique. However, with the changing times (read trends) the cute little creature (or should I say a celebrity) now represents nothing else but effortless chic.
If Old McDonald actually had a farm today, all he would say is “hoot hoot here and hoot hoot there!”
