This really made me laugh, and reminded me of a 5 day horseback ride my husband and I did in montanna. Looks rather like 2 of our group who came from New york city. Cute
Kathryn, In Heinrich's case, and perhaps your own, the beer stein is the correct measurement for a cowboy hat rather than the gallon. Or perhaps that should be a beer keg? But in that case we'd run the risk of turning the whole thing into a Mexican hat dance.
Suki, His shirt was inspired by a plaid that's very popular with the older rednecks of the county I live in, generally referred to as "Albert County Plaid". You're right, not actual cowboy material! But then, neither is Heinrich.
Blue Sky, Now that you mention personal fashion faux pas, I recall a photo or two of myself that I look at now and can't help but exclaim, "What was I thinking and why didn't anyone tell me?!"
Oh my, that hat won't fly! Reminds me of a funny fashion faux-pas story. Me, a friend of mine and her husband, were taking the husband's brother who was visiting from France to the beach. That was until her brother-in-law showed up in a little teeny tiny Speedo swimsuit! My friend said, "No way are you going to the beach with us wearing THAT!" And she made him borrow a pair of her husband's knee-length surfer baggies. Out here, there is a strict code for dudes swimsuits and cowboy hats!
Stickup, Oh, so living in the wild west is not as unruly and unlawful as one might expect! Your story makes me stop and wonder just what sort of swimming costume Heinrich might have packed in his duffel bag. It took my daughter and I a few years to convince her father to adopt the baggier style of swimming trunks (that's all I'm sayin').
Hi lynne
ReplyDeleteLong time no visit I'm such a slacker
Heinrich has such a sweet baby face he'll have to grow a bit of stubble
Thanks for all you kind comments hope your art show was a big hit I'm sure it was
Ok have a great week xx Ciao ciao julie
Julie,
DeleteI don't think Heinrich is quite capable of producing stubble. Just not cowboy material, poor lad. But at least he's having fun.
Ich kann dies tun.
ReplyDeleteVielleicht auch nicht

ReplyDeleteJeanne,
DeleteThere's gotta be at least one in every crowd of dudes at the ranch!
Hats off to Heinrich!
ReplyDeleteShirl,
DeleteGood advice for our Heinrich.
oh, he might well create a new fashion trend... suits him well
ReplyDeletejohana,
DeleteHeinrich as trend-setter? I can see it: Robin Hood meets the Lone Ranger.
I beerly noticed his chapeau ; )

Having a good laugh about the hat and knowing I too have missed my fashion moments by a mile!

This made me laugh, but I would add one letter to get:
ReplyDeleteA miss is as good as a Smile - hah!
Bises,

Genie,
DeleteGood one!!
:-D
Haha! Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteNancy,
DeleteI think Heinrich is trying to fit in for Rural Thursday on his blog.
I think he must have known he hadn't got the hat right!
ReplyDeleteRuby
Ruby,
DeleteHe does look a little self-conscious and dubious, doesn't he? Hopeful, though.
