Views from a Paris window   +  Mannequin

GIVEAWAY- Name that Mannequin

Well, it's about time for another giveaway, and this time we're going to have some fun with it!

We have a new addition to our family and she has been here since Thanksgiving. How dare I wait until now to introduce her to you?!

She has no need to be offended, however. She spent the last 30 years of her life in my Granny's attic just waiting for her debut, and it is I who spared her a wasted life tucked away in the darkness. Yes, I am the one who finally removed the Sears tag from her faded bust. Whom is this mysterious female of which I speak?

My vintage faded rouge 1960's mannequin. Nameless, yet no longer neglected, no longer jobless. She has risen out of our unsteady economy and now has a starring role in my Etsy shop. When she's not working, she gets plenty of warm sunshine in the corner of our bedroom near the window. She's living the high life except for the fact that she is still referred to as "it."

Please help me name my mannequin.

What's in it for you?

There are two chances to win.

FIRST CHANCE TO WIN:

I am looking for the most creative, fitting name for my mannequin. {Remember what her boss loves - glamour, romance, and travel} Perhaps there is a short epithet (descriptive phrase) or bio that you would like to include to give your name meaning.

From all of the comments/submissions, I {and Mr. à la parisienne} will select my {our} top three favorite name submissions for the mannequin and will do a poll to allow you to vote for the mannequin's official name!

some possible brooch choices for the winners

If the name you submitted for the mannequin receives the highest number of votes, you will receive two gifts:

****one brooch AND one fine art print of YOUR choice from my Etsy store.

SECOND CHANCE TO WIN:

EVERYONE who submits a name will be entered for the drawing for the second giveaway. The winner of the second giveaway will be selected randomly and she/he will have the choice of any brooch OR fine art print available in my Etsy store.

To participate, simply leave a comment and the name you want to give the mannequin. The deadline to enter is Friday evening (midnight central time), February 26th.

I can't wait to see what your creative minds come up with!
