Turn that jukebox way up high and fill my glass up while I cry.
Actually, there's nothing to cry about when you're a honky-tonk girl! Here are some gals who roam the range (or the barroom) and look pretty nifty.

Always remember, buckaroos n buckarettes:
The higher the hair, the closer to God

Amen to that! Love this post. :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a treat! That Katy Cowgirl has some excellent personal style, thank you ever so for that inspiration <3
ReplyDeleteYay! This morning my fringed western shirt and cowboy boots made me the laughing stock of the library (well, the laughing stock of a handful of unpleasant "bros"/jock guys) so this post is my silent rebuttal ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat an assortment of major cowgirl babes! You are tits, Dakota.
ReplyDeleteoh my, i love these! nothing is more fun than honky tonkin here in nashville :O)
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring.
ReplyDeleteOh how honky-tonk girls inspire me!! I also am a huge fan of Sparkle Moore =)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because my mom is from Oklahoma, but I have a soft spot in my heart for vintage western wear. Is it bad that when I watch "Gunsmoke", I secretly pine for the big hair and western style faux Victorian dresses?
ReplyDeleteI love these little buckarettes! I bet your outfit was as killer as this photo style rebuttal, don't let 'em clip your wings!
ReplyDeletethese are awesome! love all that attitude and hair spray :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! Glad you ladies relate!
ReplyDeleteJosie, I'm so happy you like Sparkle Moore too; she's incredible, but not many people I know seem to have heard of her :(
Sarah, I coveted those TV Western actresses' looks so badly when I was in highschool!! Those saloon gals and pioneer ladies looked really really cool, with the combination of Victorian clothes and '60s/'70s hair and makeup.
Lisa, thank you, it WAS killer, haha! (As in Jerry Lee Lewis, maybe? But still!) I take the bemusement of the my generic-looking peers as a sign I'm doing things right ;)
I love the 12th photo with all the girls in the bar :D

Yee Haw! These are wonderful! I love that that crooning cowgirl's name was "Sparkle" :)
ReplyDeleteI must remember that quote and start teasing my hair up to reach god!! I wonder if really, really big floral headbands count? It's so weird, but as I write this I'm listening to Woody Guthrie, who you introduced me too. I'm hooked! Now you have provided me with more musical talents and some amazing pics! I love the one with the girl in the nose bandage - do you think she's just had a nose-job? Thank you lovely Dakota. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHaha yes, I do believe that is the shirt. Sometimes I spot items that I own in thrift stores and it's always weird seeing another of them.

I too am a vintage loving country girl, so glad I found your blog! The higher the hair the closer to God, so true! I usually prefer a 60s style coif, but these are totally fantastic!

This is such a seriously delightful post. I adore every last image, but am especially taken by the gun totting lingerie models (so that's how the west was really won! :D).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the fabulously inspiring western wear images, dear gal!
Oodles of hugs & cheerful Sunday wishes,
♥ Jessica
Jessica, that doll in the bloomers is Jane Russell herself! It was for a French girly mag, around the time of her Western "the Outlaw", I believe!
