Conchita Wurst: A Rising Phoenix

   This 25 year old alter-ego of Thomas Neuwirth is different. Unbound by any chains or identities, Conchita is a far standout. With exceptional singing talent to give her company, one can only gawk in amusement and surprise by her sheer bars scathing from her larynx. 
  
   Her Austrian representation at Eurovision Song Contest 2014 produced a volley of controversy, hate, love and respect all at the same time. Conchita is sexy and still retains her real life Thomas's character - a beard. A lady in beard. 

    Yes, she is here to create waves of bewilderment.

   The very essence of her being not limited to any rigid platform makes her quite gullible. Her indifference to the continued hate and disgrace being showered on her has only made Conchita more strong. 

    Perhaps so much, that the likes of Elton John and Cher has taken notice.

   As much as she is beautiful, her beard makes us remember the different perceptions and realities of life. Gender and Beauty cannot be restricted in to only male, female and others. There are so many shades of humanity that we are yet to discover. 

   And Conchita is here to do that. Her dramatic eyelashes takes us deep in to her trysts with the failures she has successfully pushed far behind. Her beard makes us remember the harsh truth of ignorance we have feigned for years together. 

    She is just an eccentric diva. A natural.

   Her sophomore single, "Rise Like a Phoenix" brings such adrenaline rush in ourselves. Her beauty unparalleled, unconventional and modernistic - is an eye-opener to the myriad facets of humans, life and forms of beauty.

       A rising phoenix, we salute you!
