Ok so tonight I plan to go to the Cadillac Ranch in Bartlett. Of course I know it's a country bar and line dancing is involved. And of course I do not know how to line dance but maybe some hunky good ole cowboy (or wanna-be cowboy; we are talking Chicago suburbs......) will take kindly to a newbie and try to teach me a few moves. Isn't that how it happens in the movies anyway?
My dilemma is what to wear? I don't own a cowboy hat or boots, plaid shirt or anything even remotely country looking! Will go with the standard outfit: anything black. When all else fails you can't go wrong with something black. (Plus that alleged slimming effect can't hurt after the Portillo's cake shake I had for lunch....)
My only other dilemma is that I am a little concerned that the potential candidates I may encounter at a country bar may have some of the dealbreakers that I cannot overlook. While it may sound a tad bit "picky", I do have a few minor things that I consider unacceptable, therefore a dealbreaker:
A) He cannot wear a belt buckle that has a big turquoise stone in the center
B) He cannot have a chain that connects his pants to his wallet
C) He cannot have hair that looks anything close to a mullet, touches his collar or can be put in a pony tail
Now I'm not saying that a country bar is the only place I might encounter these things, but I am guessing my chances are a little greater at a place like this. That being said I am going with an open-mind (I was born and bred in Iowa so I'm not opposed to a little bit of country) but the last country song I actually know and could sing along to was Achy Breaky Heart.........Uh oh, does that date me?
I'll keep you posted on research outcome!
