Rodeo Girl (1999)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Sep 02, 1999; Writer: Lisa Eisner; Genres: Coffee Table, Nonfiction; Publisher: Greybull Press

Former Vogue editrix and fashion muse to hotshot designers, Lisa Eisner takes us to a place where acid wash never went out of style, cowboy hats have always been a hot accessory, and line dancing is still going strong years after the achy-breaky in Rodeo Girl. This revealing collection of photographs captures the sequins-and-pleather-fringe tackiness of America's colorful rodeo scene, zooming in on everything from the heavily eye-shadowed beauty queens to the hopeful silver smiles of pubescent pageant princesses with names like Shianne.
