I Need your Help .....

Yesterday morning was perfect for hitting the flea .... a perfect morning for the perfect find .... my long search was over ... I found her! 
I knew she was "the one" the moment we met ... true love at first sight.
 I have been searching for a plus size mannequin for months now ... it's hard enough finding one period, but it seems the big and beautiful ladies are even more elusive.
Now I can fill my orders for plus size gypsy wear.
YIPPEE!!
 And check this lady out ... she is GORGEOUS!! She has curves in ALL the right spots.
She definitely has the "3 B's" covered:
 1.) Boobs
2.) Belly
and ....
 3.) a BOOTY!!
Bootylicious for sure ... how sweet is that?
And what do I need your help with, other than welcoming her into our world?
She needs a name.
A fitting name.
Give me some suggestions ladies, please ... this mannequin deserves the best ... what can you think of?
Leave a comment below ... can't wait to read what you come up with!
Wishing you a happy weekend and hope you find some love too!

  6. Being plus size myself I love her! Now for a name, since she has the 3 B's...

  7. Since I am one of those plus size cuties, that awaits your creations...I drool over the skinny wear..... I would suggest you name her Bodacious Betsy the "bod for the broad" in all of us. tee hee. Love that you found her, hurrah for you and booya for me, er us.

  20. I would just call her Belle or Bella :)

    ReplyDelete

  21. Oooh she is French Jill, and I believe I know her... her name is "Irma La Douce" which means "Irma the Sweet" in French, and was also the name of a darling old movie from the 60's with Shirley MacLaine as Irma...xoxo Julie Marie PS If you have never seen the movie, it is a cute one!

    ReplyDelete

  22. I think she looks like a MISSES DOUBYFIRE!!!! Hugs Mary

  23. Great find! I'm fond of "Big Mama"! Thanks for sharing your find with us! She's pretty sassy!!

    Take care, Sue

    ReplyDelete

  24. Yeah!!!! I knew when I found "Matilda" that she was meant for me just as "Bella" was meant for you to find. I think she looks like a Bella because she is beautiful with all the curves...just like real women.
    Doing the happy dance for you. You look so happy, love it!
    Smiles,

  25. She is definitely a hoot! But so much more realistic than the size 0 that many of the old ones are. I like Precious.
    have fun, you nut! xoxo Debra

    ReplyDelete

  26. I think she looks like a Grace... Great find, I don't I have ever seen a plus size mannequin.
    Have fun deciding, lots of great names.

  35. LOLOLOL Now I've got the song "Fat Bottom Girls" in my head! LOL Of COURSE she should be named Fanny DuMonde...no other name for such a Ruebenesque French beauty would do! ;) xoxo

    ReplyDelete

  36. I alway name my mannequins so I think something Sassy is in order. "Fannie Mae"! judy

    ReplyDelete

  37. Oh, I'm loving Brown Bee Studio's suggestion--Fanny DuMonde!

    And now I have the 'fat bottom girls' song stuck in my head too!

    ReplyDelete

  38. Now I have "Ruby Ruby she's my baby, Ruby Ruby, don't mean maybe" (in Roy Orbison's voice?!??!?!) stuck in my head! lol Ruby is a beautiful name for her too! OH! Ruby Pearl! :)

    ReplyDelete

  39. Peaches... as in "if you don't like my peaches don't shake my tree!" It was my mammy's favorite saying. She is fabulous, I was thinking hey, where did Jill get a dress form of me? LOL xoxo

    ReplyDelete

  40. Well if it wasn't for the booty...we'd pass for twins, so TnT is out! I'm so excited that your designs will be available for the pleasantly plump crowd that it's really hard for me to think, but Lotta Junque comes to mind first. Maybe Jiggles LaRue...or does that sound like a stipper and of course there is always Fanny Pack. I'll try and think of something pretty...kay', but for now...SCORE!

  41. We call my ironwork dressform Stella :) It suits her fine.

    ReplyDelete

  47. Love her!!! I can see why your hugging her. I want to hug her too. She's my gal, everything that I have ever worn must have been cut and pinned on her. I want to say Aunt Bea, but I don't know if I'm crazy in love with Bea for her. But most defiantly love Aunt?.

  52. Oh, my lord, for a moment there I thought you had found my grandmother Josephine.

    At second glance I see you've found a gal just for you.

    However, if she were my friend her name would be Josephine.

    Hugs,

  53. What a beauty!! she is the queen of the GYPSIES!!

    She was a perfect "Brocante" find, I would name her "Brocanteuse"

    She is a rare brocante gem! Not quite valuable and not quite junk as the French would say!

    Yes!... call her "Brocanteuse"
