types of festival girls
-
The 24-Hour Headbanger
Even if the music stops, she never will. We salute you, headbanger.
-
The Belly Dancer
This woman is super rad. Just don't anger Jabba the Hutt with your obvious staring.
-
The Celebrity
She's there on a mission to fulfill a brand endorsement obligation and will probably be gone before the sun goes down. If real life is anything like Notting Hill, you've got a future.
-
The 'Maiden Voyage On Molly' Gal
She may awaken your inner nostalgia and as a bonus, is really easy to amuse.
-
The 'I'm Just Here For The Music' Fan
She can name all the session musicians from Bowie's Aladdin Sane, has a McIntosh tube amp at home, and is strictly there for the music. You might hit it off if you know your shit, but be careful -- she can sniff a poser from across the fairgrounds.
-
The Loner
Admire her from afar, gentlemen, she might as well be the moon.
-
The Love Seeker
Whatever her backstory, she entered the festival with one goal: fall in love with some random guy. Good thing you did squats this morning.
-
The 'Over It' Gal
Don't take it personally. She thinks ice cream is stupid.
-
The Casually Peaking User
She handles herself like a champ. When she comes down, ask her who her drug dealer is -- that looks like some good shit.
-
The Sad Clown
Her friends dragged her out, made her put on an over-the-top outfit, and then ditched her by the Ferris wheel. She's a barrel of laughs when she's not dying inside.
-
The 'I'm Going To Need A Minute' Gal
Everyone is hoping it will pass soon, but she's been at it for hours. If you're built anything like a tree, you're totally in!
-
The Stoner
She's way into her buds, her vapes, her oils, her hash powders, and getting as stoned as possible for the next three days. She'll be happy to share a joint with you, or have a bite of your weed cookie.
-
The Hot Model
Insanely hot, barely covered in body paint, and probably disappearing into the VIP area very soon.
-
The Super Girlfriend
She looks like a ton of fun, but all that spunky good-time energy is directed squarely at her boyfriend. Nice one, dude!
-
The Travels-In-Packs Woman
She's über sexy, but good luck making a connection. This weekend, she's more heavily guarded than Fort Knox. And if you make it past the front door, her friends will descend on you like the death gauntlet from The Running Man.
Good luck and remember what the Irish say: faint of heart never won fair lady. Summer, here we come!
