A Southern Belle with Modern Vibes
The term "southern belle" refers to women who lived in America before the Civil War, often regarded as the Antebellum period. This term was used to describe young ladies who had recently reached adulthood and were ready to join the social circles of a mature society. They're also referred to as debutantes.
A hooped skirt, straw hat, corset, and gloves were standard fashion features. A tan was not worn since it was a working-class trait, while the belle was supposed to be upper-class. With no hooped skirts, corsets, or gloves but plenty of maturity, these girls appear to be breaking the stereotype!
A Rare Turn of Events
We've come across formidable southern country females who get dirty, ride the bull, and be the world's most industrious individuals. But, at some point, they admit that they might not be able to get out of the mess they've created. As you can see, one of them is even calling for assistance.
But the key question here is: is she calling her father, brother, or boyfriend for assistance, or is she calling some of her girlfriends? We wouldn't rule out the possibility of the latter; when it comes to these females, anything is possible!
Country Life at its Finest
You aren't driving in the country if it isn't an American muscle car or a pickup truck. That isn't to say that country females don't enjoy themselves. They might be able to teach you a thing or two about how to use a pickup!
One application for a truck bed is to make it into a little cooling pool, as shown in the photo. This country girl is not only keeping cool, but she appears to be getting a top-notch tan and downing a refreshing beverage. These vehicles can also be transformed into a little camper with rooms and a screen base for an outdoor theater.
Nice Swimwear!
This guy most likely lost a bet or fell asleep, and his pals decided to mess with him. Or you might argue he's accepted the truth that country gals are tougher than he is, and this is his way of showing his admiration or attempting to imitate them.
Of course, he'll be taunted by his male counterparts, especially about his gender and whether or not he's straight. However, his decision is his decision, and he appears to be happy with it, and his companion does not seem to mind. If you ask us, it's creative manscaping!
Did We Mention That They're Also Pretty?
Most times, rough-and-tough chicks aren't known for their beauty. Some have even been said to act and look like tomboys. Country girls, however, are another story. Like real-life superheroes, these women can transform from rough to slick for a night out on the town.
There might be more tourism in the countryside if this type of image was featured in postcards and advertisements. This could also result in a population surge in the south, which has been declining steadily. This is another thing country girls are better at than the boys!
Certainly Not a Stranger to Catfish Noodling
There must be a lot of fishermen who are offended that the term "catfishing" has come to be associated with an Internet con. While shows like "Hillbilly Handfishin'" demonstrate the genuine essence of catfishing, modern culture views it differently.
On the other hand, catfish noodling is a way of catching catfish with one's bare hands that are predominantly performed in the south. Unlike the popular catfishing, this country girl's profile photo isn't false, as she looks more like a country girl catfish noodler. With her bright smile, you can tell she is content just where she is.
Once The Dirt Is Done
Wait. Isn't this one of the ladies from the quad bike towing story? She definitely looks the part. She has the dirt profile to pass, and you can see a dirty quad bike right behind her. In any case, this only goes to show that southern girls have the most fun when they are all rough and grubby.
She also appears pleased with the outcome of her day's effort. Of course, nothing is as satisfying as coming home from a long day's work with dirt on your face and sore muscles.
A Die-hard Fan is not Hard to Spot
Even though Donald Trump was one of the least-liked presidents in the United States, he had his own die-hard fans. Take a look at his rallies... okay, maybe don't look at them. Still, some people believe in him, as evidenced by the fact that he has supporters.
Obviously, he has a place in this country girl's heart. She loves him so much that she's wearing swimwear with his face on it. She should probably have thought twice about wearing a swimsuit with his face on it, if for no other reason than it looks a little creepy.
Ready To Go Car Washing!
We've seen this scene countless times in the movies: a car wash run by a group of ladies dressed in bikinis. Well, these country girls appear to favor wearing bikinis, and they seem to enjoy getting things dirty, as evidenced by the above photo and many more before it.
So we're guessing that this type of car wash is rather prevalent in those places. And it appears that this young lady is all set to put her idea into reality. This pickup will be pristine in no time after a few phone calls to her friends.
Well... Time To Get Muddy
This picture was captured in the South Louisiana Mudfest, and you can bet that these folks are having a great time. However, one could ask why someone would ride a quad bike into a deep dam. To do what country girls like to do, of course, to get dirty!
But, jokes aside, there is an important topic to be asked here: How did the other quadbike get across? After all, it didn't float there. Picking the appropriate line is a talent in off-road sports, whether trail running, dirt riding, mountain biking, or quad biking. Else, you'd find yourself off track.
Country Girls Can Do What Boys Can Do Too
A damsel in distress who doesn't know her way around an automobile is something you won't find in the countryside. Southern women have a reputation for not only being able to drive but also for being able to repair rides in the same way that men can.
They're also not afraid to get their hands dirty, as proven by this photo of two country girls assisting one of their friends in retrieving her quadbike from this muddy mess. Because they had to get into the mud to help the cause, the two pushing are looking all muddy. You certainly can't mess with a country girl!
Match My Tractor
There's one detail that we skipped over at the start. We previously stated that if you live in the country, you either drive an American muscle car or a pickup truck. We forgot to mention that a tractor is another option for a ride. Obviously, it isn't the most frequent mode of transportation, but it is possible to have one, particularly if it is utilized for work.
Even so, you may want to look good when driving your tractor and maybe even match your attire to it. That's exactly what this girl did, and you know what, she can actually drive that tractor, too.
A Country-style Wedding On The Lake
Every girl fantasizes about the ideal location for her special day. Some people want it on a hill, while others want it at the beach or in a church. A ceremony on or near a body of water is a popular choice. Renting a lake house or boat will solve that in most cases.
This guy was so determined to give his soon-to-be wife the perfect setting that he found a mud pit and hired a mud truck to transport his wedding ceremony into it, where the priest would join them. Although the environment wasn't ideal, we'll give him credit for his creativity.
Ummm... Nice Fish You Have There
Okay, we must admit that one's attention will first be drawn to the stunning lady holding the fish before we can even look at her impressive catch. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, as you can see, fishing is a popular hobby in America, and this damsel appears to be quite pleased with her haul, as she should be.
Angling is a popular recreational activity across the United States. In 2019, an estimated 50 million Americans went angling in freshwater and seas in different locations across the country. This was the highest rate of participation in American history.
Engineering Meets Ingenuity
We ran into someone who took it a step further after mentioning that a tractor is a potential form of transportation. But how can we refer to this hybrid piece of equipment? The back part of it is undoubtedly a John Deere. No one executes the frontal part of the ride better than Harley Davidson in the front.
So, should we call this a "Harley Deere" or a "John Davidson"? Whatever it is, it's likely to be causing a stir in this small country area. Plus, his lady friend must believe he's tough as nails, even though, as a country girl herself, she probably helped develop this.
For The Love of America
This photo screams country girl: bikini tops? Check; denim shorts? Check; boots? Check! And, of course, we can forget the ever-present rough and ready attitude. However, one thing we haven't mentioned, and it's apparent in this photo, is how much country folks have a great love for America.
Every home in this town probably has an American flag, knows a few patriotic songs like "Living In America," "Only In America," and "Color Me America," and sings the national anthem on the Fourth of July before they have lunch. We wouldn't be surprised if these girls own several other American flag bikinis.
Ready, Aim, Great Shot
We're unsure who is having more fun in this picture: the photographer or this girl on her hunting trip. She doesn't appear to be dressed for the occasion, but it's important to note that country girls are at ease in anything they prefer to wear, no matter how unusual it looks.
Many people believe firearms should be better regulated, while others believe it is their right to own a gun and bear arms when needed. Recreational gun sports are one of the occasions where carrying arms is permissible, even though many people, particularly animal rights organizations, oppose this activity.
They are Known For Being Creative
One thing you can't fault a country girl for is her lack of inventiveness. They're known for their clever and smart life hacks. They will make do with what they have if they don't have what they need and still have a good time. Take, for example, this lady.
As amusing as this picture appears to be, she got creative and collected all of the toilet seats she could locate to continue playing her game without horseshoes. Though it raises the question of whether the game's name will be modified now that there isn't a horseshoe...
Pre-Game Prep
Do you recall the mudhole wedding? Mud bogging is a sport that they used the truck for. That is most likely what these country folk will do when they have a good beer to wet their whistle. Of course, it is illegal to drink and drive; however, this event will not take place on public roadways.
They're in a mud hole, and the goal is to see who can travel the farthest before becoming stuck or who can get out the fastest. Of course, this assumes that more than one car makes it across.
A Feast For A Kings Party
This appears to be something straight out of "Game Of Thrones" or "Vikings." If a host knows the king or someone else important is coming to town on a visit, he would draw out something like this. However, in Southern America, this appears to be just another Saturday night.
This is a German procedure known as Schwenker. A Schwenker steak is roasted on a swinging barbecue. It's unknown how a German grilling technique made its way to America's South. We know for sure that the earliest German settlers in America were documented in Pennsylvania in 1683.
Not So Safe, After All
Anything that involves a person falling from the roof cannot be considered safe. But for whatever reason, these guys believe the water in the four-foot-deep pool will be enough to save this guy from falling. However, at the Olympics, such is not the case.
The diving pool at the Tokyo Olympics was 16.4 feet deep, allowing for a dive from a 32.8-foot-high platform. That means he'll most likely strike the ground, though how hard he hits depends on how much horizontal flow he can gather in his descent.
This Is What The Country Fair Is All About
For many individuals, the country fair is the best part of the whole year and one of the most prominent social occasions around. It is a swarm of activity, with people selling goods, creating goods, and various competitions ranging from tractor pulling to ax throwing.
It's also about looking your best, which is why you should dress in your best country wear, and because this is the one area where a bikini is appropriate, a tiny crop top will suffice. These ladies here are obviously ready to have a blast.
Champions For Life
Mud bogging is a popular sport found in parts of the United States and Canada. There are even categories for events and vehicles, as well as organizations that regulate these features. The National Mud Racing Organization and The American Mud Racing Association are their names.
The cars used for the sport are all four-wheel drives, albeit some are stock, and others, like the one in the photo, have been customized to look like monster trucks. The fact that the sport may get messy is something we're sure these country boys and girls enjoy. That truck didn't leave the house that morning in that color.
Another Bit Of Country Ingenuity
A "Harley Deere," or a "John Davidson," or whatever you want to name it, has already been seen. But this is next-level inventiveness, even if it is a little risky. Of course, no applause can be offered until it's shown to work, and based on how this person is fiddling with the ignition, this could be a first flight.
At the very least, the girls appear enthralled, and he is clearly hoping to impress them with a quick lap around the lake in his motorcycle-powered rowboat. However, we can't imagine how he intends to steer this thing.
Everything We Know Country Girls Are About
Fishing is a popular sport in the United States, as we all know. This is especially true in the country and the deep south of the United States. We've even heard that country girls are just as good at angling as country boys. So you know who leads the squad around here when a lady catches the biggest fish in the competition.
Okay, we don't know if that's the bay's biggest fish, but it's a decent-sized fish capable of placing a sport on the podium. In American freshwater, the white sturgeon is the largest fish you can catch, with a length of 5.2 feet.
Not Your Everyday Country Girl Outfit
What is one thing that all of the country girls in this write-up have in common? Their style has always been the same: denim shorts, a bikini, and boots (if they're wearing any). In general, it's all about exposing one's belly and being as relaxed as possible.
So, what is going on in this picture? This country girl appears to be overdressed or may be flaunting the latest new trend. Either that, or she's not bold enough to wear just the popular two-piece bikini like a country lady. Maybe she's going to a belly dancing competition!
That's One Way To Take A Mud Bath
It's easy to presume that this is some kind of competition based on how this woman is leaping into this mud bath. Something from the county fair, perhaps? Who knows, but it appears to be safer and more sanitary than South Africa's "Bokdrol spoeg," and it has all the ingredients to make a country girl happy.
If this is a game, it must be a popular one, based on the size of the crowd that has gathered around these individuals. People cheer as if this woman is chugging the keg, and it's about as joyful as a drinking game. The photographer deserves praise for the precisely placed image.
That's How You Know It Was Fun
It's vital to remember one thing when you're in the South and having a good time like a country girl: it wasn't fun if you didn't get muddy. Given her state and the quad bike she was riding, this girl must have had a great time.
Speaking of the condition of things, the course this girl rode her bike on had to be a murky mess. Apart from football, most of America's favorite sports aren't particularly messy, so it's incredible to realize how messy country gals can be on their turf.
A Two-in-one Meal
To begin with, if you didn't already know, alligator meat is edible and has been for many years in the American south. The meat may only be obtained during a limited hunting season; otherwise, it must be purchased from an alligator farm.
The other, more pressing question is: who came up with the notion of stuffing the turkey in its mouth? It couldn't have been caught that way because that's not how gators are caught. Perhaps someone wanted to be a little more inventive, or maybe this is a new take on Thanksgiving meal.
Mud Bath Original
Do you know what it is about Country females that make them stand out? One thing that isn't a mystery is how they maintain such flawless skin. What is the secret? It's all about getting dirty once more, but there's a health benefit this time.
A mud bath has numerous health benefits. One of the most important is the antiinflammatory qualities of soaking mud, which can help to relieve painful muscles and revitalize them. Minerals such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium are also beneficial to skin health.
Easy There!
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Southern girls can do just about anything that boys can. They are even capable of riding the bull. Is it, however, necessary for them to do everything in a bikini? Why do most of these photographs include a bikini-clad girl while some of these locations aren't even near the ocean?
Or are the summer temps simply too hot that only a bikini will suffice? In any case, riding that bull in such a tiny bikini might not be the best decision for her. It only takes a small amount of time for something to go wrong.
Check Out Her Alligator Accessory
Search no further than this photo for an example of how bold and rugged a country girl can be. Maybe an alligator isn't as dangerous as a crocodile, and they've been known to live in harmony with humans, even moving away rather than engaging in combat.
They are, nevertheless, vicious reptiles that can strike if provoked. Only the states of South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Wisconsin, and Nevada allow people to keep gators as pets. If you have other small pets or even kids, it's also not a good idea to keep them.
Not a Very Ideal Position
It's practically impossible for a lady to find herself in this position if there isn't a country girl involved. That isn't to say that women don't participate in rodeos. Women were allowed to engage in bronco and bull riders in the early 20th century.
When a female cyclist died in 1929, the idea of excluding women from the event gained traction. Instead of riding a real animal, women are more likely to be seen riding on one of those mechanical things these days. That, of course, keeps them out of situations like the one depicted in the image.
The Perfect Place To Chill
With a group of buddies and a lot of beer, listening to the game on the radio can be fun. This is the life that many Southern men wish for. To add to the intrigue, this particular hangout takes place in a floating living room on the lake.
The best part is that there's a little bit of everything in this photograph: an older gentleman who can tell old stories and a topless eccentric gentleman who can provide some amusement. The person on the far right, who resembles actor Adam Sandler, constantly feeds the conversation. Quite a gathering!
The Little Cowboy
In every way, this little kid is a cowboy. Maybe, he's riding a sheep, but he's a boy dressed in cowboy garb, and his T-shirt says cowboy up. He's got to be a cowboy. He's also getting some early practice for his grownup bronc and bull riding exploits.
Mutton Busting is a sport in which children ride sheep rather than a bronco or bull. He appears to be having a lot of trouble with that sheep in this photo, and he presumably still has a long way to go before moving on to more conventional animals.
