After catching my breath from this sighting, I decided to make a run through the midway. Midways have been hit-or-miss for me at the Minnesota State Fair over the years. Only at night does a younger smoking crowd frequently surface, but the midway at the Iowa State Fair had been entirely disappointing for me in my three years of fetishing there....until last night, where I would score Sightings #36, #37, and #38 in the most dramatic fashion. I was almost to the rear of the midway loop when I see a cute but tall and mildly chubby, long-haired 16-ish blonde in a halter top and pink shorts inserting a Marlboro red into her mouth from her pack and then sparking up. She was standing by herself as she stopped to fire up, and as soon as she proceeded, I did a 180-degree pivot to follow. She quickly caught up with two other girls who I would later assume to be her age (15-16) that looked younger from a distance because they were more petite. I presumed the blonde was the only smoker of the three, but still held out some hope that the more glamorous looking brunette friends had nicotine addictions of their own to feed. After only one more drag, the blonde would fulfill my wish by passing the cigarette to the adorable brunette next to her. After she took a couple drags, the smallest and cutest girl of the three held her hand out to get in on some nicotine action of her own. I would watch from a close distance behind as the girls passed the cigarette from one to the next with the precision of a Swiss watch for the remainder of the walk through the midway. Again, no puffers and blowers. These girls were inhalers, and adept ones at that. Even the little one spewed smoke from her nostrils when exhaling. Among the three of them, they turn that cigarette into a cigarette butt in a fairly short timespan and crushed it out before leaving the midway. It's so precious to see the future generation of smokers rising from the ashes....pun intended.
And my final noteworthy sighting of the night, Sighting #39, also came in the midway. A young couple watched from the sidelines as another young couple, likely their friends, played pool at a couple of pool tables set up there. The spectator couple included a gorgeous and glamorous long-haired brunette who appeared to be about 21 and wielding a freshly-lit all-white. She was intently watching her friends play pool while talking about it with her apparently nonsmoking boyfriend standing next to her. She was another girl I had to keep looking over my shoulder to get another look at, continually wondering if she was really as good-looking as she appeared on first glance. I was not in a good position to watch her entire smoking performance, but she definitely provided me the needed momentum to get through the next hour or so, which was semiproductive but ultimately forgettable quality-wise.
I could see the storm clouds on the horizon before dark and was actually surprised the rain held off as long as it did. I was torn in not wanting to leave early and miss any excitement, but also not wanting to get stuck on the grounds in the middle of a lengthy thunderstorm. It didn't prove to be as big of problem as anticipated as the rain held off until 10:15 and the people started racing to leave. It didn't rain very hard or very long so I just sat under an awning and watched the girls in wet T-shirts race on by. In another 10 minutes or so, the worst of the rain subsided and I left the fairgrounds. It was yet another modestly impressive Iowa State Fair run. It'll take a lot to top that initial mind-blowingly 2006 visit, but I can't complain about my two visits in 2008. All that's left is Minnesota's State Fair in another nine days before my top sightings period of the year has passed. If past precedent is any indication of what's to come, however, I will end Fetish Season 2008 with a bang in St. Paul.
