THE FASHION RANT: YOU’RE NOT WALKER TEXAS RANGER’S GIRLFRIEND

by | Aug 10, 2011 | ART

…And just a wild guess, you’ve never lived in Texas. Yes we all get the irony of a city girl wearing cowboy boots. The most ironic part of this accessory is how widely they receive praise at your vegan book club. It’s leather. From a cow. Or it’s alligator or snake or some other animal you wouldn’t dare raise to your lips.

…And just a wild guess, you’ve never lived in Texas. Yes we all get the irony of a city girl wearing cowboy boots.

For your dirty hipster feet however, bring on the slaughter. Even the utility of the boot, for riding horses, is probably something you are against. We get it, the horses are enslaved by man as work animals and they should all be set free to run around in Chincoteague. I’m really not opposed to all of those ideas. Sure I eat meat but I know animals live in shitty conditions. But seriously, until I see your face at a rodeo, take off the boots and give them back to the vintage store you got em from. You look goofy.
