About being a cowgirl.
When you say the word,
:38:03
you make it sound like it was painted
in radium on the side of a pearl.
:38:12
Well, I saw my first cowgirl
in a Sears catalog.
:38:16
I was three.
:38:18
Up until then, I'd only
ever heard of cowboys.
:38:21
Years later,
my real struggle began.
:38:24
I had been teased
by my classmates for some time
:38:28
about my particular
fantasy.
:38:31
Cowgirls exist as an image,
a fairly common one.
:38:35
The idea of cowgirls,
:38:37
especially for little girls,
prevails in our culture.
:38:40
Therefore,
it seems to me
:38:43
that the existence
of cowgirls should prevail.
:38:46
I mean, otherwise
they're being fooled.
:38:49
Like in the Rodeo Hall of Fame
in Oklahoma City,
:38:52
there are just two cowgirls.
Two...
:38:55
and both of them
were trick riders.
:38:57
Trick ridin' is what cowgirls
have almost always done in rodeo.
:39:01
Our society sure likes to see
its unconventional women do tricks.
:39:06
That's what prostitutes call it...
you know, "trickin"'?
:39:14
Did you know that cowgirls
have been around for many centuries?
:39:17
Long before America.
:39:21
In ancient India,
the care of cattle
:39:23
was always left up to these
young women they called "gopis."
:39:26
Now being alone
with the cows all the time,
:39:29
these gopis got awfully horny,
just like we do here.
:39:33
Each gopi was in love
with Krishna,
:39:35
a good lookin' hunk
of a god,
:39:37
who played the flute
like it was going out of style.
:39:40
And when the moon
was full,
:39:42
this Krishna would play
his flute by the river
:39:44
and call the gopis to him.
:39:46
Then he would
multiply himself
:39:49
16,000 times...
one for each gopi...
:39:53
and make love to each one
the way she most desired.
:39:56
There they were...
:39:59
16,000 gopis balling
Krishna on the riverbank
