Kid's View of EOT or How to Keep The Ladies Happy

[Kid Sopris]

I guess your wanting some pictures , huh !, Please be patient as I do this , there are over 125 pictures taken, 4 movies and some scanned items. that I have to post. Did I say I had fun?

First I had to go to Santa Fe, and just take in the scenery.

[Kid Sopris]

The cactus was in bloom!

[Kid Sopris]

I love top quality art, and there was plenty to go around.

[Kid Sopris]

Some of it struck me as very appropriate for EOT.

[Kid Sopris]

I found a favorite store, actually there were two but this Gallery, the Owner allowed me to take some photos to be scanned for your enjoyment, in exchange for some free advertising.

[Kid Sopris]

Scott Rogers is a very talented artist.

[Kid Sopris]

Here is another.

[Kid Sopris]

And yet another.

[Kid Sopris]

I never get tired of good work!

[Kid Sopris]

And still more.

[Kid Sopris]

The Gallery is a must see.

[Kid Sopris]

I think the verdict is in.

[Kid Sopris]

No trip would be complete without a trip to Sandia Mountain in the Tram. Starting at little over 6,000 ft. you climb vertically to 10,384 feet in just oabout 15 minutes. But, Oh what a view !

[Kid Sopris]

Sunset's are incredible, so after dinner in the restaurant, I got a couple of pic's.

[Kid Sopris]

And just before it's sets.

[Kid Sopris]

Albuquerque at night from 10,384.

[Kid Sopris]

Founders Ranch Entrance.

[Kid Sopris]

The new Store Fronts.

[Kid Sopris]

And another set of buildings.

[Kid Sopris]

Okay here are some pictures of Allie Mo's daily outfits.

[Kid Sopris]

And another.

[Kid Sopris]

Still another one.

[Kid Sopris]

Sweet Violet and her mom, are two of the nicest and prettiest ladies in the SASS Family. Here is Allie Mo and Sweet Violet.

[Kid Sopris]

Alot of Daily Pictures as Shoot Magazine was two doors down.

[Kid Sopris]

More and more .

[Kid Sopris]

Okay there are some duplicates of outfits...so!.

[Kid Sopris]

After a while, the Camera knew when to turn itself on! Here are Sweet Violet and Drusilla.

[Kid Sopris]

I took so many pictures it's a wonder I got anything else done.

[Kid Sopris]

There were alot of other things going on really!

[Kid Sopris]

But, I never got close to the firing line, but why would a guy want to do that with all these pretty cowgirls around!

[Kid Sopris]

Every once in a while I was lucky enough to get the back!

[Kid Sopris]

I know these ladies have spent hundreds of hours on their outfits. Well Done !

[Kid Sopris]

Of course there were alot of kids getting into the act.

[Kid Sopris]

And this lil fella, was armed and dangerous.

[Kid Sopris]

These two little ladies also had indian outfits, but I wasn't able to snap those pictures, maybe some one else did.

[Kid Sopris]

This little cowboy, named Matthew, didn't know the ladies had him in training!

[Kid Sopris]

Some ladies were just gold diggers, as this one pans for gold.

[Kid Sopris]

And I still have more pictures!This lady, "Sammie" owns Violas Historical Fashions and was set up across from HTCF. She can be reached at violahistorical@netzero.net She specializes in 1640 to 1946 women's Fashions.

[Kid Sopris]

Another view.

[Kid Sopris]

Some of the pictures taken were on dummies...ummmm that didn't sound right.

[Kid Sopris]

Random selection of pictures.

[Kid Sopris]

Different styles.

[Kid Sopris]

Different Ideas!

[Kid Sopris]

Some dummies just hung out together.

[Kid Sopris]

And the hat ladies were there as well.

[Kid Sopris]

Some pictures were taken, because I thought they offered a different perspective.

[Kid Sopris]

Ladies really turned out some excellent ideas. Of course you can always pick out an Alley Member!

[Kid Sopris]

Y'all think I was running a Ladies Fashion Magazine.

[Kid Sopris]

And what good is a cowboy, if'n he don't hold a ladies parasol, while she shops.

[Kid Sopris]

Ain't She just a darlin!

[Kid Sopris]

I think this beautiful lady was trying to steal me away back to downunder. She brought me a t-shirt, some TimTam's (Latte Flavored) and a bottle cooler wrap.

[Kid Sopris]

Casual Strollers .

[DogWoman]

Wow!!!! I am insanely jealous! Great pics!!!

[Kid Sopris]

Here are two good friends that go way back in CAS. I havent seen either one in almost 10 years. Jingle-bob Gerrie and Badger, from Colorado.

[Kid Sopris]

I think I have over 60 pictures still to go !

[Kid Sopris]

Slowly but surely I will get them all!

[Kid Sopris]

Can you believe I didn't even come close to snapping pictures of ALL the fashionable outfits. I barely scratched the surface.

[Kid Sopris]

Sometimes I would sneak a picture of them walking away too!

[Kid Sopris]

Long on tradition and short on memory. I can't remember everyones name.

[Kid Sopris]

And I think they came for the party! In fact I am almost sure of it!

[Kid Sopris]

Okay, where was I?

[Kid Sopris]

Even the simple styles were elegant.

[Kid Sopris]

I was suppose to be working at HTCF, but every chance I got I snapped another picture!

[Kid Sopris]

This is Mud Marine. He shoots Black Powder! Can you tell?

[Kid Sopris]

I took as many pictures as time would allow and ladies coming by....

[Kid Sopris]

Or going away.

[Kid Sopris]

Something about white dresses!

[Kid Sopris]

Pretty dress.

[Kid Sopris]

AND these two colors together say power!

[Kid Sopris]

Got the back on this one too!

[Kid Sopris]

Some men have no taste for fashion!

[Kid Sopris]

HEY GG! Look!

[Kid Sopris]

Okay here's a trio!

[Yankee Belle]

WOW Kid those were just fabulous pictures, I just loved each and every one on them. Thanks for sharing.:ty :ty :ty

[Kid Sopris]

I thought this outfit was cool!

[Kid Sopris]

Here's a couple headed to a fashion contest.

[Kid Sopris]

What about these chaps!

[Kid Sopris]

Here's your first place winner for Ladies B Western ! She had Founders Ranch embroided on the back of her blouse!

[Wallaby Jack]

[Kid Sopris]

[Kid Sopris]

No I didn't forget Boss Lady.

[Kid Sopris]

[Kid Sopris]

What was I doing before I got distracted?

[Kid Sopris]

Oh Yeah, pictures!

[Kid Sopris]

Here is Harvey Wallbanger. 3,000 pounds of playfulness...yeah right!

[Kid Sopris]

Harvey can be tough to push around.

[Kid Sopris]

But he can be ridden!

[Kid Sopris]

Bareback even!

[Kid Sopris]

[Kid Sopris]

Another nice couple.

[Kid Sopris]

So much to see.

[Kid Sopris]

Coming to the end.

[Kid Sopris]

Thats All folks!:faint

[Kid Sopris]

Okay after all of that. Here is what else developed. Yours truly was included in a documentary being produced by Uberti, regrading my 1860 Henry Rifle.

Also Al Frisch, who produced Vengeance Traiil, now on DVD, with a special segment on Stars Guns and hosted by Buck Taylor, Asked me to submit my casting application for an upcoming movie! (Fun being extras in them there westerns!); So I am pretty excited. I also introduced Drusilla and Tim to Al, in hopes they would be interested as well.

Sold some posters, raised some money in raffles for HTCF and had alot of fun. But after a week I am exhausted. I missed y'all here just as much.

Wished I could have been both places at once. Yeah I know I need to get a life! :lool

[Coffee Em]

I was ready to sing the National Anthem, when I saw this one!

I'd go for "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You," or maybe "The Yellow Rose of Texas," myownself!

Excellent photos, Kid! Sweet Vi and her mom were gorgeous as usual, and ohboy--I hadn't seen that outfit of Clancy's anywhere but on her dress form before, and I love it!

Say, who was that lady in the purple gown trimmed in black, with black bows? I loved all the ruffling and tucking on the back of her overskirt.

Allie Mo had the best batch of hats--perfect for every outfit ('specially that striped-and-white walking suit; verrrrrrrry nice!)

Dontcha love the Sweet Violet/Drusilla good girl/bad girl photo? Now that's how the West was won!

[Maddam Fyre]

Those were excellent photo's! I especially loved the scenic land and sunset!

Thank you!

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

[Duzy Wales]

[Kid Sopris]

Sorry Duzy, I didn't take any self Pictures ! :lool In fact I think the only folks that took pictures of me, were the ones with "Life Time Warranties" on their cameras. :rofl

I believe Sweet Violet has a couple, and she was going to send me pictures to downsize and post for her, after she got home.

Here is an unpaid opinion: "SHOOT MAGAZINE" (http://www.shootmagazine.com/) , is a great supporter of our Cowboy Action Shooting Sport, and if y'all are not a subscriber, y'all need to be. Alias, Smith and Jones, Chucky and the entire staff did an outstanding job working non stop to insure that visitors questions, assistance and the "Famous Fast Draw" competition booth was running for every ones enjoyment.

I personally believe they are the only magazine that's devoted to covering our sport so completely. Besides, y'all just might find yourself on the inside of one of those great color photos !

[Black Box Belle]

Kid...Is that why we don't see pics of you? We have to go out and buy the magazine??? :rofl

Well consider it done! Great job on the photos I couldn't have done better myself!

:ty :ty :ty

[Sweet Violet]

GG,

I have photos of Kid, Nellie, Clancy and Lizzie!!! I'll try to talk Kid into posting them for me as I have not yet acquired the knack of posting photos myself!!!

[Kitty Phann]

Thanks Kid for all your devoted work at getting us those lovely pictures. :ty Bet you had blast taking them. :flame Did you find any single cowgirls?????? Did you get email addys or #'s. :rofl Well, it was a opportunity, right! All kidding aside you did a great job. I'm glad some of the others got your picture as well. Hey, look a :chick
