Maria's face lit up when she heard my suggestion. "Yey! I can be Pocahontas again!" I was about to explain that that was what I'd been trying to avoid but she was already down the ladder and bounding down the hall to her room.
I guessed there would be everything I needed in here for the Western look and I was right if the immediate find of a stetson was anything to go by. After rummaging around for a few minutes amongst the dress up items I found what I needed- a red plaid shirt, some denim low rise short shorts with frayed leg hems, a pair of cowboy boots and a gun belt to complete the image. Perfect.
I stripped down to my underwear and pulled on the shirt. There was a slight problem because on further inspection it looked like it had been torn and ripped below the chest, so I knotted it up just under my bra line. I left most of the buttons undone and rolled up the sleeves to my elbows before pulling on everything else on. Finally I pushed my hair back behind my ears and flipped on the Stetson. I turned to examine myself in the mirror, striking a pose and liking what I saw. I was pretty sure any real life cowgirl wouldn't have so much skin on display but I didn't care because, damn I made this look good.
"Pow!" I said and blew the smoke from the end of my two fingers. As I did I heard Maria coming back. Funny. I thought she'dve been finished sooner.
"Why howdy li'l lady," I grinned with a tip of my Stetson, "How do I look?"
"Like a real cowgirl," she beamed, what about me?"
Let's see- Native American felt dress, sandals, feathered headband and two stripes of red for war-paint. Same look as the last party, but hey it was convincing. "Like a genuine Red Indian princess," I told her. As she giggled I notice a length of rope held in her hands. A lasso for me perhaps? "And what's the rope for?" I asked.
