Giddyup little doggies! Mr. Mickey wants to be a cowboy! MM is just back from a super fun and glamorous rodeo at Rancho La Zaca in the Santa Ynez Valley of California. It was MM's first real live rodeo and it was super fun. The hostess was Sandy Hill and she her husband Tom Dittmer have been throwing 4th of July rodeos for five years now. It was a fun combination of LA types and cowboys. You can see more in the October issue of Vogue --they were there shooting Sandy.

Anyhoo, being a knucklehead, Mr. Mickey had to try out the mechanical bull. Well he nearly died just climbing on the damn thing! The guy running the machine said he'd put it on kid speed but still Mr. Mickey flew off immediately. Here's a photo by Frank Helmer to prove it.

After the jump see the shot immediately after this one and some other great shots by the fabulous Roman Alonso.

And stayed tuned for some movies that Mr. Mickey made with his new Flip Video camera. If he can figure out how to upload them! MM made mini movies with the likes of Vincent Gallo and Bo Derek!!! MM is an auteur!
