A Spitfire Cowgirl, Honest and True (thanks to Juni Fisher)

 February 21, 2021

   She is a spitfire cowgirl—honest and true—in a time and place where those things are in short supply. 

Daily Whip Out: "Dixxy Diamond"

   Little is known of her early life, although there is a rumor she was raised by hippies in the wilds of Nevada, then made the conversion to cowgirl working on a ranch owned by a bordello owner south of Elko.

    Did I mention she cuts her own hair? With roaching shears? She doesn't care what you or anybody thinks, especially her crazy family (don't ask).

   She drives a six-speed stick, Dodge three-quarter-ton with a stripped and shredded hand brake, which she operates with her knee from a dog eaten bench seat with errant hay blowing around the cab when the heater is on.

   The tales of this honest and true cowgirl is co-written—and half belongs—to a friend of mine who is someone who knows a thing or two about crazy cowgirls and horsin' around.

   I promise you, we are going to have some fun with this one.

"If you were the horse and I were to ride, I'd want you to know we're on the same side. For once would you try to hear what I hear, see the world through my eyes, not just through my ears, this horse has a voice do you know something's missing? I'd give you my all if you would just listen."
