This gentleman is owling, apparently.
You know how people say "such and such is the new black"? Except they won't actually say "such and such," they'll say "navy," or "brown" or "chartreuse" or some color.
Anyhoo, it seems that owling is the new planking. On Tuesdsay, I wrote a column about the fad of planking (check out tulsaworld.com/planking), which involves lying parallel and straight as a board on a surface or object, then having someone snap your photo to post online, perhaps as a Facebook profile pic.
Well, that's been over for many months, apparently, and coning had become popular -- the act of ordering an ice cream cone, then grabbing only the ice cream in a drive-thru. Stupid, squared.
Now, I've been told by a few readers that owling is the new crazy -- perched as an owl on a railing, fire hydrant, whatever, as long as it's kinda high or moderately high, with your knees drawn closely to your chest. A lovely young reader named Margeret was the first to tell me about it, even sent me a pic of herself perched on a railing.
Esthetically, I like it better than planking. Maybe it's because I find owls cool. Plus, owls are a trend now in accessories, according to our lovely style goddess, Kim Brown.
Peace, love and owls ... XOXO
