A Few Notes on Cowgirls
Not too surprising in the most basic of terms, a cowgirl is the female equivalent of a cowboy. But that does not necessarily mean that these women are or were out on the range herding cattle. Of course, women were and are still very active in the running of a ranch. But being a cowgirl, today, may be more about having the attitude of a cowgirl (and wearing boots and a cowboy hat). Another requirement is knowing how to ride a horse. By the way, an advantage in wearing those specialzed boots is that they are appropriate for many different social situations.Anyway, the bottom line is that being a cowgirl is about knowing your cowgirl roots, dressing like a cowgirl, and acting like a cowgirl. Being a working cowgirl is about hard work, but it is also about having fun. And actually, modern cowgirls often participate and compete in rodeos, where barrel racing is the most popular event for women. These rodeos are for women who don’t mind getting muddy and showing how tough they really are. Remember, cowgirls often get tossed into the dirt and dust when trying to wrestle a steer or ride that bucking bronco.
Fashion tip: Cowgirls often wear different colored socks on each foot, for luck. Nonetheless, cowgirls still look stylish both in and out of the arena venues.
Another fashion tip: Braids are both becoming and utilitarian for the modern, working cowgirl.
Final fashion tip: Cowgirls often wear authentic Indian jewelry as a way of expressing the country life and the style of the Old West.
There is a group called Cowgirls Are Forever which promotes the ideal of the spirit of the everlasting cowgirl who travels the land in search of empowering her beauty within, living freely and loving endlessly.
An aside for New Mexico food lovers: Since 1993, a restaurant, the Cowgirl, has been serving up righteous barbecue, regional American cuisine, and a whole lot more at its Railyard location near downtown Santa Fe.
And finally, I should note that cowgirls can’t be tamed, but they can be wooed.
