Bling~Bling

So the big Reno Rodeo is coming up soon. The "Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West". The local tv stations are doing lots of short features covering the run-up to the event. On the morning news the other day they cut to a local western wear store to discuss what's in style to wear to the rodeo this year. The store owner said "This year it's all about the 'BLING'." A lovely young model was standing nearby to showoff all the rinestone, silver, and jewel covered boots, pants, belts, blouses, vests, hats and even a holster for the ever present cell phone. Looked almost like she stepped off the cover of a 2000 Cash Money recording, except of course she was a cowgirl in western wear, and it was mostly silver not gold. I couldn't see her rims. She too said "It's all about the bling-bling".

Funny, how even the die hard cowboys in Nevada are being affected by rap music culture.

Imagine that.
