Love Owls!!

Owls are one of the oldest species of vertebrate animal in existence, fossils have been found dating back 60 million years, showing the bird to have changed very little in that time.

Throughout the history of mankind, the owl has featured significantly in mythology & folklore. Owls are one of the few birds that have been found in prehistoric cave paintings. Owls have been both revered & feared throughout many civilizations from ancient to more recent times

The Romans saw owls as omens of impending disaster. Hearing the hoot of an owl indicated an imminent death, it is thought that the death of many famous Romans was predicted by the hoot of an owl, including Julius Caesar, Augustus & Agrippa.

Some people believed that owls were particularly bad to children, in Malaya it was believed that owls ate new-born babies, the Swahili believed that owls brought sickness to children, in Arabia it was believed that owls were evil spirits that carried children off in the night.

Some people believed that owls had magic powers, in Arabia it was thought that each female Owl laid two eggs - one with the power to make hair fall out, the other with the power to restore it. In Algeria, it was believed that if the right eye of an Eagle Owl was placed in the hand of a sleeping woman, that she would tell everything you wanted to know (now that is stretching the imagination too far).

I think Owls are beautiful creatures, and love to collect anything to do with them.

These are a few of my collections...

A night out...

A friend had a going away party at Melbourne's Turkish Cuisine restaurant Saray- Sydney rd Brunswick. I wore a black fitted skirt that you cant see but not so important.....a detailed Friends of Couture top with white flowers along the neckline....a green satin hijab from Sorayya Design...and a favorite floral clutch from asos.com :) Very comfortable for all the dancing i did....and still looked good :)

My sister Sera and a very dear friend Demet,...the most gorgeous girls ever!!!!

And single, how???? I do not know :)

A day for shopping :)

 Today the sun was out shining nice and warm, but the wind insisted on giving a cool breeze. I chose to wear a comfortable khaki maxi skirt, black cardigan and a red satin scarf/hijab that matched my bag. And of course one of my many owl necklaces (my favorite one) :) 

I did some retail therapy and came out with two lovely pieces. A red woolen bat wing top by Venom and a multi-layered necklace to go with it.... I will wear them asap, so I shall post some pictures soon.

Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.

I think graffiti is one of the coolest forms of art. It is an individuals creativity and this gives them a chance to show the world that passion for creativity. I was down an alley way on melbourne's famous sydney road and found these pretty awsome peices of art. Some deem it as vandalism of property, but i personally see it as a form of art, and find that it brings color into or world. Streets are filled with these for no cost to the government, council or any other tax payer. Let us rejoice in this form of art and get creative people!

Note: I do not condone 'Graffiti' in the context of racism, sexism, prejudice messages and so on.

Well hello there =D
