Leaving the midway after 11 p.m., I decided to take one more loop around the main part of the concourse and then head to the south part of the grounds before leaving for the night. Outside of the grandstand area was a trio of a middle-aged guy, a young guy, and a knockout 21ish long-haired brunette which a beautiful devil-may-care smirk on her face. Only of the three was smoking. Guess which one? My Sighting #62 girl was gorgeous, with a freshly-lit all white (looked like a 100) extending from her fingers, and a body second in quality only to the hourglass blonde from earlier in the night. She was wearing a skimpy brown tanktop that stopped halfway down her stunningly shaped abdomen, showing off a tramp-stamp tattoon her lower back just above the belt line of a pair of tight, dark blue jeans. Normally I'm not into tattoos, but I gotta say she pulled it off. But then again, she could have had a giant poop stain above that belt line and I would have found it sexy on her! The dynamic of this bubbly and attractive brunette smoking her cigarette in front of these nonsmoking guys was awesome to witness.
From there, it was off to the south side for the final stretch. The grounds were pretty sparse by this point in the night so when I came across hotties smoking, it was much tougher to watch them undetected. This was the case with a cluster of four blonde glam girls, all in the 21-23 age range, seated on a bench. Two of them were smoking and became Sightings #63 and 64, my last two originals of the night. Unfortunately, they spotted me looking their way as I walked past and there was absolutely no way I could watch the show.
But that turned out to be inconsequential as I continued and stumbled into one of my early blockbusters putting on a mind-blowing second act. Sitting on a bench with a pack of Camels in her lap was my Sighting #57 girl, the angellic-looking brunette with the sparkling red top and miniskirt. She and the boyfriend were both sitting there smoking another round of Camels, and this time girly was washing down her cigarette with, get this, a glass of milk! Only at the State Fair!!!
At long last, that does it. I journeyed back to my shuttle bus with a very impressive sightings bounty at this year's Iowa State Fair. In 2008, between my all-day Saturday and Wednesday evening fair outings, I scored a combined 152 sightings. In 2009, I upped the ante to 171 sightings. It's truly amazing that in this era of an unprecented antismoking culture I keep pulling off these blistering sightings bounties year after year. I just hope the borrowed time I keep living on hangs on for years and years to come.
