When I say the term "Louisiana Girl" to you, what are the first few images and traits, that come into your mind?
In your mind's eye, what does the "typical" Louisiana girl look like?
And what kind of scene do you imagine her, and wearing what type of clothing?
How many have you dated, or Lawd help you, married? How did that go?
Who is the hottest example you can think of?
What are the traits you see, and some examples?
Fyi, although this is intended to be more a serious anthropological study of the species
, and is not really meant to be a "Hottest Chick in Louisiana" thread, go ahead and feel perfectly free to contribute to it in that way, if you REALLY want to.
To me, a "typical" Louisiana woman has all these traits:
Of an exciting uncertain mixed heritage. And a mix of all that involves olive-ish or a unique light orange-ish complexion. Always has some sort of prominent feature(s) that say "I'm definitely part French, but not all the way"
Green, grey, hazel or mysteriously light brown eyes. Almost NEVER blue. And though at times you'll be thinking "Crazy eyes...." as you gaze into them, but actually, "Lethal eyes...." is more appropriate description, 9 times out of 10.
Gloriously raven to darkish brown hair.
No exceptions. I don't think blondes occur naturally in Louisiana....ever.
Lips! These girls have miles and miles of lips, and lips to spare after that.
High to high-ish cheekbones that have a little bit of a devilish angle to them.
A little bit thin and tallish, on average. But there is definitely a shorter, stockier sub-species as well, who is especially dangerous when suddenly surprised, or when she feels trapped, even if she isn't.
Her general attitude is always focused on identifying the next party to go to, or new way to obtain some alcohol, and then combine it in some new, un-imagined way.
Her garb is usually full-on minimalist, and only wearing the bare least clothing that is required for the situation. She will constantly pull on shoulder straps and other articles of clothing, explaining how hot and restrictive her clothing is. Body paint is acceptable "go to town" clothing on a LOT more occasions than in any other state.
She loves sports with no real moderation, and is adequate to suspiciously advanced, in her outdoor skillsets. Those who encounter her will often wonder if perhaps she lived temporarily in some feral fashion, at some point in her younger years? Fighting other women is not any type of social feaux paux, at all.
She is an avid pet collector, and has no real qualms about turning some of her pets lose in the swamps, after they have started to behave a little mischievously. Men who have dated her have suspected she has even served a former pet to them, in one of her past gumbos.
A passion for undisciplined and unrestricted cooking methods, she can whip up several meals using supplies and fodder that most would not have ever dreamt of attempting. And it will taste pretty damn amazing.
In general, no matter what the mood is (and this changes a LOT), there is always an overriding attitude of "You can't tame me, and don't even try it, connard!"
And when she threatens your safety, via actions of her cousins, or a former boyfriend, who lives even deeper in the Swamp than she used to, but still goes back to time to time.....take her seriously. And yes, she actually considers the "Swamp" to be an actual physical place, that everyone already knows where it is.
Here are some examples I found, that sort of make up a composite "Typical Louisiana Girl" to me. My own "Louisiana Girl Mold", if you will.
Unlike the photos above, this one seems to have caught Typical Louisiana Girl (on the right, of course), in her most natural state. And perhaps even completely unaware that she was being studied and photographed, at all. Alas, even is she did know, she wouldn't have cared much at all.
And, as far as the first popular culture image that popped into mind for me, for whatever weird sub-conscious reason, though she is not of Louisiana origin, was Lisa Bonet from her role in "Angel Heart".
....and then this little fiddle player named Amanda Shaw, that I once saw live about 5 years ago, during a trip to NOLA.
FYI, @Oilfield has recommended a perfect theme song, to go along with this thread as you read it. I highly recommend you push "Play" here, before you start scrolling
