Good Old-Fashioned Shoot Out In Fort Worth

Despite my glitzy urban chic demeanor, I am a cowgirl at heart. I still like to ride horses and play with guns. What I don’t do enough is go to Fort Worth where the cowboy spirit is very much alive. Now I have no more excuses—the White Elephant Saloon, one of the funkiest bars in America, is readying to celebrate its 121^st birthday. And they are going to do it up right by staging a reenactment of a gunfight between Luke Short and Jim “Longhaired Jim” Courtright on the streets in front of the Stockyards. If you’ve never sat on–or fallen off of–one of the saddle seats at the bar, it’s high time to do so. Head over on February 8^th, ‘round 7, and drink in some history of the Old West, a time when having the fastest gun was a good thing. I can’t wait to break out my Miss Kitty outfit . Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam? (God, he was so hot.)
