Have you see the Wildfox s/s campaign
yet? I'm sure you did. Nice. Cute. Pink. And 90's.
(Everything is so 90's by now, and 90's
was so “70's wannabe”... I'll speak about this in a dedicated
post)
Less “indie” than other, it reminds
us to the clouds and dust of Van Sant's movie, but cuter, and pinker
. The models look more like hot chicks than Tuff Cowgirls.
Have you see the movie? I don't think
it's the Van Sant's weakest film as claimed, but the novel witch is
based on is actually on another level.

So...Most Important: Have you read the book?
 |
Tom Robbins's feminist anarchic manifesto “even cowgirls get blues”, 1973 |
If you don't, I envy you the
opportunity of read it for the very first time, 'cause you still have
all the roads to cross in Sissy Hankshaw's eyes and all psychedelic
adventures to live through Tom Robbins' pen.
American counterculture and early
'70s values come flooding back like a peyote-induced dream in his
words
- Chink: "Good! You seem much
more in balance!"
Sissy: "But one (thumb - again, read
the book) is huge and the other is little!"
Chink: "You're
making a common mistake. You're confusing symmetry with balance."
