Posted by Mark on August 13, 2006, 13:56:16 My early feelings of pessimism were reinforced when my first 15 minutes failed to yield a quality sighting. That first sighting of the day is always a rush, even when it's not extraordinary as my first sighting yesterday was. It was a young redheaded mother with a freshly-lit all white. A very average sighting...but I had no idea what was in store for me following that little number. After another average second sighting, Sighting #3 was the first pay dirt I hit yesterday. I take a stroll down a remote street on the grounds with side entrances to a lot of the livestock barns. This didn't seem to be a likely venue for a blockbuster sighting, but all too often, the least likely places serve up the most satisfying material. Such was the case here as I pass a bench and immediately notice a 40-something mother and her teenage daughter enjoying cigarettes. I take a seat on the bench parallel to theirs about 10 feet away. A truck in front of both of us with horses poking their noses out provided me a venue to watch them without being too conspicuous. The girl couldn't have been any older than 16. She was a very cute brunette and had a very country look. I wouldn't be surprised if she was a farm girl participant in the livestock shows. She was adorable dragging on that all-white while sitting right next to mom and got to see most of her performance. A devotion to nicotine passed down through matriarchal lines to a sweet young daughter....not a bad way to start the day! I wasn't expecting to top that sighting for quite some time, but less than five minutes later, I had the sighting I described earlier as "near epic". I'm walking through a more populated street on the grounds and suddenly hear these two feminine voices behind me. I slowed down and moved to the side, allowing the girls to pass me. As they pass, I look to my side to see these teenage knockouts, probably about 16-17. They were both beautiful. One girl had long blonde hair and the other was a light brunette, both in tanktops and tight jeans that perfectly accentuated their shapely young figures. I quickly dismissed the idea that they would be smokers because they definitely didn't look the type, but was nonetheless pleased with the opportunity to have had my day brightened up by their youthful beauty. Then, as the girls proceeded several feet in front me on the sidewalk, I'm blown away as I notice a freshly-lit all-white protruding from the fingers of the blonde. It was one of those fetish moments that makes your heart start racing with excitement..... Both myself and the girls in front of me proceeded down the sidewalk. The blonde took intense drags off of her cigarette and it was pretty clear she had been doing this for awhile. She reached into her purse and opened up the pack of Marlboro Lights to see how many she had left for the rest of the day, and from my angle, it didn't look like very many. She and the other girl soon turned down a different stretch and give me the opportunity to see her pretty face again, only partially obstructed by a pair of sunglasses. It was also at this time that she put the cigarette in her lips and took an extremely intense dangling drag that last a good five seconds before removing the cigarette from her mouth and exhaling a mighty cloud of delicious "secondhand girlsmoke". By now I was elated beyond description and remembered six years ago when the Iowa State Fair was enforcing teen smoking. Apparently, that rule is no longer enforced as this beautiful and very obviously underage blonde was performing a very public dangling drag for the world to see right in the middle of the fairgrounds..... The girls then proceeded to a commons area and the blonde smoker got out her cell phone. I stayed at a comfortable distance but could hear her talking on the phone, cell phone in one hand and cigarette in another, figuring out a destination to meet with a second party. Her voice was very soft and feminine, not at all husky like most long-term smokers. That made me think that perhaps she was a new smoker, but her professional technique certainly didn't seem like that of a beginner. After placing the phone call, the two girls continued to their destination. I feel a tad creepy following smokers (especially those of the jailbait variety), but I had to see how this played out...... The blonde finally finished her cigarette and tossed it onto a grassy knoll near the sidewalk, then continued to walk. They finally arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet the second party. They sat and waited in front of a building and I kept hoping to see more tobacco consumption as I sat on a bench across the road. That didn't happen (and the fact that the other girl, who was just as cute, never lit up was the only thing that confined this sighting to "near epic" status rather than epic), but within five minutes, the second party arrived. I expected it to be a pair of studly boyfriends, but it was a couple of middle-aged ladies...perhaps the girls' mothers. Whoever it was, it was a bonus for me to visualize this bombshell blonde finishing off that pack of Marlboro Lights of hers in the company of elders. What a stunner! I could have lived off of the buzz from this sighting for at least an hour, but I was lucky enough to score two more successive sightings in wiz-bang fashion only moments later. Seated in the commons area were two 20-something fair workers in orange shirts. The one was a brunette with a young son in her presence, and the other was a very attractive and petite blonde in her early 20's with a mane of long, straight hair running down her back and gorgeous, well-tanned facial features. Both women were smoking all-whites and I was able to sit across from them on a bench and admire their performance. The long-haired blonde commanded most of my attention as she was by far the most attractive...and she didn't disappoint with deep, intense drags and cloudy exhales. Next, I journeyed past a building where crowds of people seemed to congregate. Among them at this time was an attractive 18-ish cutie with long light brown hair running down her back. Her look was fairly "alternative" but she was drop-dead gorgeous. She sat in the company of a middle-aged man who appeared to be her father and they sat there puffing on cork filters (likely Marlboro reds). They were nearing the end of their cigarettes by the time I arrived, but I got to see a couple nice drags by the girl before they crushed out the cigarettes and departed. While mother-daughter bonding over cigarettes is hot, it's sweet to see father and daughter sharing treasured nicotine moments as well. All of these sightings occurred in the first hour of the day. That's very unusual for state fair outings where the early hours are often the least productive. The next couple hours weren't as mind-blowing, but still offered some fine moments. I had a sighting with a mother and two daughters walking into the fairgrounds from the southeast side that was only satisfying because the younger daughter (about 15-16) was slender and a real cutie. The mother and older sister (presumably anyway) were overweight and unattractive. A very handsome young couple about 20-21 sat on a bench behind the grandstand on the next pass. The girl was blonde and supermodel hot. Both were dragging copiously on their cigarettes. Next I saw another cute young couple about 18-19 sit down in a lightly-trafficked region between a building entrance and the public bathrooms. The cute blonde girl was fishing around in her purse, which these days usually means she's pulling out her cell phone. For some reason though, I sensed there would be a pack of cigarettes produced from that purse. Sure enough, here comes the pack of Marlboro Lights. She extracts one and proceeds to light up, feeding her insatiable need for nicotine while the apparently boyfriend sits next to her quietly allowing her to enjoy. I always love to see smoking girls with non-smoking guys for a number of reasons, but particularly since it gives me hope of being one of those lucky fellas. More to come....

I made my first visit to the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, and the place was impressive both as a fair and as a sightings venue. The grounds were much bigger than I had remembered when I visited the fair 16 years ago for a non-fair event, so there was no shortage of room for me to explore.
For some reason, I walked into the fair yesterday (a little before noon) feeling an undercurrent of pessimism about my sightings prospects. My feelings proved unfounded as I had a tremendous sighting day with one epic sighting, one near-epic sighting and a handful of other sightings that would rank as "9's" on a scale of 1-10. I had 85 total sightings that I would qualify as satisfying, which is slightly below average for a full day at the state fair, but what I lacked in quantity I more than made up for in quality.
