SOME people think that a western hat and a pair of boots are all it takes to be a self-titled “country girl.”
A woman showed off her bona fide cowgirl — and while she’s not what many expect, her viewers don’t mind.

When Avery (@ava_gravyyy) took to TikTok to talk about the phenomenon, she had a lot of evidence to state her case.
She put together a montage of posed photographs showing women whom she considered “country girls” in name only.
“Expectation of the country girl,” she wrote of the photos, which showed well-groomed women in skimpy plaid outfits.
Almost all photos showed women midriff bared plaid crop topslounging against fence posts or in heaps of hay.
In one photo, a woman in a cowgirl hat and designer belt pretended to point a gun at the camera.
Another showed a woman in a leather vest, shorts and earrings, smiling with her fingers in her belt loops.
Avery’s video was cut back to “reality” in an instant: a clip of her, in a tank top and loose shorts, standing in front of bulky farm equipment.
In one hand, Avery held what appeared to be an almost empty pitcher of iced tea.
With the other hand she squirted water from a garden hose straight into her open mouth.
Water bounced off her face onto the camera and dripped down the front of her dirty top.

Avery was self-deprecating in the caption. “Right now I’m just giving you guys content to tease me about,” she wrote.
But her followers loved Avery’s candid clip and honest portrayal of country life.
“We don’t want buckle bunnies,” one viewer wrote using a derogatory term for a woman who only attends rodeos for romantic cowboys.
Others became nostalgic about drinking from the garden hose.
“Hose water hits differently,” said one commenter.
Another agreed, writing, “I do it all the time in the summer because I’m too lazy to go indoors.”
Some commented on Avery’s comfortable choice of workwear.
“I do chores in my pajamas,” a compatriot chimed in.
Men were eager to compliment Avery, and viewers agreed that she was “much better” than the country girls she compared herself to.
“I bet you’re gorgeous if you want to look fancy,” one flirtatious commenter said.
“Half of those girls have probably never set foot in a shed or stood barefoot in cow dung,” another viewer wrote.
