In August, I asked blog readers which of several Montana specialty license plates I should get.
The Glacier National Park plates were the reader favorite, although Justin made a compelling argument for Griz plates. Offline, my friend Stacy said she thought the "Sustaining the Legacy" plates were me because of the cabin and the mountains. My personal favorite was the Montana Horse Sanctuary plate, for its sheer watercolor beauty and the gorgeous Appaloosa horse.
After much debate, I opted to go with the standard-issue Montana plate, as it allows seven characters versus only six on specialty plates. I wish they allowed eight characters, as Cowgrrrl -- with three Rs -- is one of my longtime Internet identities. I had to settle for two Rs.
And I figured, as long as I was going to draw attention to myself, I may as well get a snazzy barbed-wire frame on eBay. Cowgirl bling, it's a good thing.
I'm not a real cowgirl, though, just a wannabe. Someday I'll have a horse again -- maybe even an Appaloosa -- but for now my Subaru is my trusty steed.

Ya know, I completely read that plate wrong! I was going with cow-growl or something like that. Luckily everyone around me thought that's what it was too.
Like the frame!
No, you read it right. I pronounce it "cowgirl," but it is definitely meant to imply a growl.
It's a takeoff on the punk-feminist Riot Grrrl movement.
