My Girls

I'm so fortunate to have two girls here at home - Chicken Nugget and Noodle. But I also have two FABULOUS girls at work, though their names change weekly.

They're my mannequins.

OK, they're not mine; they belong to the store. But it is my privelage to dress them each week, and might I say, I have done a bang-up job!

And, yes, I change their names each week, just as I change their outfits. Because they get a new look, a new attitude, I believe they should also have new names. They're different girls every week.

No, I'm not crazy.

Sometimes they argue with me. I might want to choose the Levi's purse for one of my girls, when she would like to carry the Guess purse. I don't put up with it. I'm firm, but loving. And in the end, I always win.

The first week I dressed the girls, I chose the name Rebecca and Shondrine. Other names have included Sassy and Nina, Carla Gene and Lou Anne (those girls were for my Rodeo display), and Caroline and Sissy. If you have any name suggestions, let me know. Every week after I dress them, I introdue all the staff to them.

Truly, everyone is in awe of my flair for fashion when it comes to dressing those girls, and for naming them.

This week, my girls are wearing the best of Spring. Reyneesha sports a green and off-white floral baby-doll shirt and faded L.E.I. jeans. Accents include a lovely "Y" necklace, which is gold with gold and shell discs that dangle ever-so-delicately from the chain, as well as a tan canvas Levi's purse. Jean Anne is ready for the garden party as she wears an elegant spring dress, white and floral, which has a sweetheart neckline. The dress ties at the neck. As Jean Anne has lovely shoulders, this feminie dress is just right for her. Her off-white, bead and pearl necklace adds just the right touch without being too showy. She carries a simple off-white Guess purse.
