Day 373

I'm not sure that we have cowgirls here in the UK. I'm not sure that we have cowboys either come to think of it; they're both typically of American origin. The lack of cattle wrangling industry, time-warp saloons and liberal policy toward possessing firearms probably turns them off. So it seems the closest thing we have to cowboys and cowgirls here in Britain is farmers and their wives.

That said, there is at least one genuine cowgirl here on our shores and she's currently on my chest, courtesy of Johnny from Newcastle based Native Skate Store (the irony of my discussing American contexts sold on English territory branded Native is certainly not lost on me). Johnny has donated this excellent second tee to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge; a Native Skate Store original featuring a graphic novel style illustration of a black and white pinup cowgirl, whose face happens to be melting off.
Well, it's not too surprising is it? She came all the way over here from the States, hoping for a care-free, rootin' tootin', ho-down in a hay field with her hip flask filled with whiskey, and all she actually got was a plot of mud in the cold and her genetic-makeup malfunctioning as a result of exposure to excessive levels of foot-and-mouth disease and GM crops, supping tepid bitter in an abandoned inn while her husband polishes his blunderbuss.

Come to think of it, Night Of The Living Dead Ex-pat Texan Cowgirls In Devon is actually a film I'd watch if they ever made it...

So thanks to this garishly attractive tee, my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge has now ticked over into it's eighth day of 'Extra Time'!
