I've decided to look at the website http://www.lonestarwesterndecor.com. I decided to look at this website because it offers a wide range of different items that are connected to the west (as the websites name suggests) It sells itself by saying that "Western decor is all about
spunk and spirit, bringing together the desert beauty of
the southwest with rugged cowboy charm and rustic good
looks." . So rather than focusing on the old west as
being a cut throat world where you went to gain your
fortune by working hard or even killing to get somewhere, they're
focusing on the west as a fashion statement in the modern world. They
sell a range of items from necklaces, wall art, bed covers and much more. I feel
that this website show that the west is still relevant today, but in a much
different way than before. In the 50's it was seen that the Cowboy way of life
was one that was desired, TV shows and film showed the west as being a place
where the good guy would win and everything would be lovely, Kids would dress
up as cowboy and indians and play. While today it seems that the 'fashion' of
the west is much more desirable. To be wearing a Native American style
necklace or a piece of clothing with a gun on it is the way that the western has
survived and is living today, Which to me is a shame.
