A Cowgirl At Heart
I want these cowboy boots.
Inspired by a habit of buying magazines I’ve never heard of and a cover shot of Tom Selleck, I picked up the 15th anniversary issue of Cowboys & Indians, the “premier magazine of the West.”
Despite its questionable non-politically correct name, this is a quality magazine for high-rolling cowboys and cowgirls. With ads for high end hand-made jewelry, diamond-plated toe tips, and $11 million ranch properties the target audience is obvious. Who knew you could buy a pair of cowboy boots with turquoise, sterling silver and 18-karat gold accents for a mere $25000?
This magazine introduced me to a thriving sub-culture completely unbeknownst to me before this weekend. Being an East Coaster, except for a pair of Boulet cowboy boots I bought in 1991 (and have been hanging on to ever since), the West is foreign to me and known only through the movies.
Reading articles about history, Spanish colonialism and cowboy art makes me want to buy an Airstream and head to Montana (or Arizona, or Colorado!). And of course part of me loves the prospect of looking hot in a pair of tight jeans and Cherry Blossom boots. ; )
What a fun and enlightening discovery this magazine is turning out to be. I’m glad I picked it up.
