Cowgirls (Houston, Pasadena, Beaumont: rental, homes, movies)

[BostonJad]

I was wondering if one can easily find them in Houston. You know those Southern type girls with Southern accents that were raised in a ranch. Do they frequent the bars in the city or shop around in the malls?

What movies have you been watching?
You can probably find the fashion in late February around Livestock Show and Rodeo time.

I think if you go to the malls you'll hear them talking more like Valley girls than cowgirls.

Uh, no. Try a small town or go to the South.

Houston doesn't have the poor working class whites in the same number as Boston (e.g. all the poor white longshoremen and crabbers and construction workers and such filling the city). Boston is a unique city in that way. The poor whites here live in poor suburbs like Pasadena, while the city is most upper-middle class whites and minorities.

I bet if you go to Treasures on Westheimer and bring some twenties they'll be whomever you want 'em to be...and it won't be too much of a stretch!

Seriously though, there are lots of those girls on the outskirts (think Urban Cowboy and Pasadena) but in town you won't find many.

What you seek exists, in East/Northeast Texas in small towns in the vicinity of Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Marshall, Tyler, Beaumont, Texarkana, etc. Not Houston.

you'll have better luck finding them in a ballgame or any barbecue event. thats when they transform to yeehaws and harley biatches

Where are you from? Because a girl is Southern with a Southern accent or raised on a farm - hardly makes here a poor working class white. Southern accents come in all ethnicities particularly in the deep south and certainly doesn't make them white. You find those accents that people love to hear in West or deep East Texas. You also find it in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, etc. That accent hardly makes them poor. Poor working class whites live in almost every suburb of the city and the city proper (you can find any number of rental apts. and older homes thoughout the city -- other than the obvious wealth communities - Memorial, West U, River Oaks, etc). Pasadena is actually has about a 45% Hispanic Population and 7% other ethnicities and 50% white. A city like any other, the older section is more working class families (of various ethnicities) and the newer section has homes in the $175-$250k price range. As more and more people move to Texas from all over the country - accent become harder to find anywhere. What you might find in Houston that identifies a Southern girl might be phrase like "y'all" (universally southern in many states) or "fixin to"

"fixin to take a dip in the cee-ment pond", I can hardly wait!

Looking around the Beaumont area would be your best bet.

Edit: Now that I think about it, you might want to look in Santa Fe.
