The Secret Life of Antlered Girls

ha! i know the woodland theme is long since tired and hopefully i’ve weathered the storm, or continue to do so. i didn’t even wear antlers to bike kill this year!  nonetheless, a social document using the antler metaphor is timeless if not overly confusing. i’m totally going to make a post about how “bobble-bee” girls are so five minutes ago. or how this post is so two years ago. he he.

Antlered Girls
For some reason antlers are a constant theme both in Fashion and Art/Design. Even a quite known girl in the New York social art world named her blog as The Secret Life of Antlered Girls.

Placing antlers in people gives the subject certain modernity that i didn’t understand why yet, although i am the first one to recognize such.

This year Banana Republic Christmas ad is a girl with, ehem, antlers. I’m sure when publicists were thinking about an idea for the new campaign they did about Santa’s reindeers but never before an antler tiara has meant “cool” as it does now; I can’t imagine a label as Banana Republic placing this accessory in a pretty girl for a Christmas ad before.

Even though this topic is already a little over it seems it’s still creating some attraction in people.
