the real housewives of Box Elder County


So, if I were on the real housewives of Box Elder County (not yet rated) I would wear these boots every day. I love them that much. They are old gringo lucky boots, and I am putting it out there to the universe that I need these babies! They would help me look good during the fair. They would turn heads at the grocery store. They would make small children like me and old men hug me. They would make people believe that I was born and raised country. They would sound real nice walking across a wood floor, and look fabulous in my closet of shoes. Yes, indeed.
I need these boots.
