Farmgirl Looks

So I got to thinking the other day... where the hell did the sexy farmgirl/cowgirl look come from? according to my knowledge (which is pretty extensive when it comes to girls, seeing as i have personal experience being one and also life-long experience in the farming community) a farmgirl has way too much other stuff to do than to ever have time to fuss over hair and make-up... and there are just too many obstacles that can break nails and cause scratches and bruises.

... take for example our pets... my parents have 5dogs(3 are members of the family-the other 2 used to be too, but they now prefer living with my grandfather whom lodges in a flat on the same property, whom is actually dangerous in extremity! There are also 2ostriches, innumerable cats, a lot of fish, squirrels that don't pay rent (many other people feel the same way about rats) and a few thousand chickens...my parents live on a farm by the way...

To those of you who have never been on a farm, or whom lacks decent education, farms are no longer the same kind of thing you see in the movies...there's no overdose of tranquility as there is in the wide open field that i imagine you're imagining now, with the white lambs grazing and bonking in the distance... There are no immaculate oxen being herded by a younger, more muscled version of Robert Redford. There aren't any prancing ponies and brilliantly colored roosters cresting the roof to crow in the mornings... No this is not the film-industry's country-side.

This is the REAL world, where a farm-girl looks like chicken-shit almost as much as she smells like it... and to her that it the smell of money.

This is where you get dirty, really dirty and nothing about this kind of dirty turns anyone on (or at least not anyone sane)...

Chores and errands is something that takes up about one and a half hours of the average city-slicker-kid's life, yet they find something to complain about...

Now the kid who grows up on the farm has his life overruled by chores.

04:30 Eat breakfast, let the dogs in; feed the cats; turn the water-pump on; feed and milk the cows (12cows ought to do it); take them into the field to graze; brush the horses;  fill the truck with diesel; load the shavings and drive them to the chicken-houses; turn the irrigation on for the spinach, lettuce and marrows; fill the silo's; unlock the gates and farm-stall; turn the pack-house equipment on; feed the geese...etc.

08:00 school sucks!

14:10 Lunch.

15:00 Change the shavings in the stables; turn the irrigation on for the wines, apple orchard tomatoes and onions; feed the horses; get eggs, vaccinate the sheep; harvest the corn, oil the wind-mill; turn the compost heap, feed the pigs, hook the plow onto the tractor; feed the fish; milk the goat, level the driveway; pick the peppers, cashews and strawberries; weigh chicken mortality; pack out soap blocks; unhook the plow; spray the plum trees; wash the boots and overalls; load the chicken manure; barter the chicken manure...etc.

18:00 Homework.

19:00 Feed the dogs and ostriches; lock the gates and the farm-stall; berate grandpa for shooting at visitors(he likes to sit with his shotgun aimed at the driveway but then he falls asleep...when visitors arrive he starts awake and accidentally pulls the trigger-that's what i meant by saying he's "dangerous in extremity"...); turn off the pack-house equipment, water-pump and irrigation; take the cows and horses back into the stables; drain out the truck's diesel(otherwise it will get stolen by the kids who live on the farm next-door to use in their home-built go-cart racing); let the dogs out..etc.

21:00 beg for another glass of Shiraz.

22:00 Wind up stuffed and passed out on a bed somehow.

So to get back to the actual point of this blog...where the sexy farmgirl look comes from is deyond me!
