Mabel


Hello. My name is Mabel. I reside in Ki and Kerry Nassauer's foyer. I have heard they might be moving me to a more obscure area in the home as their realtor has expressed concern. It seems potential buyers are a little weirded out as they enter the house. That's ok with me. I understand not all folks like dress forms, particularly those of us sporting voluptuous figures. The hat, not my favorite, I'm told it has sentimental value...Ki's father is a Shriner. How did I get my name? Ki's grandmothers on both sides were named Mabel, along with the family dog. (Now deceased)

Nice to meet you!

Have fun on your dress form adventure, say hi to my cousins! The complete list of us gals is at http://shabbyscraps.typepad.com/
Take care,
Mabel

    Too funny! I grew up around the Shriners. My dad was a Mason, my mother in Eastern Star and I was a Rainbow Girl.

    Now that is a first. Love the sagging "girls". It's amazing what realtors make us do.

    I love Mabel! I think she is like the house mother to a lot of these other girls I have been meeting this morning! Thank you so much for sharing her with us and for supporting me, nadia, and kitty. There is no way my husband can deny my sanity now!
    xoxo, Tiffany

    Mabel has a very unique figure, and I hope the realtors don't make you move her too far away. She's great!|~Martha

    That's too bad you have to put Mabel away, she could be part of a welcoming committee for prospective buyers, oh well!
    Thanks for showing her!

    It's a very stainless steel, granite and nothing else world with those realtors isn't it? Don't worry about it, Mabel, a lot of us "get" you and we too have succumbed to the pull of gravity. Thanks for sharing, Ki, and junk on!

    Are you kidding us, Mabel? Shriner hats are WAY COOL and Clara and I would do anything for one. We're into things way Masonic around here.

    Hi Mabel nice to meet you too. I love the way you dress; not making a problem that time must have altered your body slightly, take this as a compliment.

    It's a pleasure to meet you Mabel! I'm sorry to hear you will be having to give up your space because of some strangers in your own home, but I'm sure it won't be for long. Hang in there. :)

    Oh how funny! Voluptuous, hehe...
    Great hat I think!
    Yah... might wanna hide her from house hunters.
    The vintage larger scaled models are hard to find. Lucky you!

    Mabel's only uncomfortable for me to look at because she reminds me too much of myself. She doesn't seem self-consious in the least though. Have a great weekend! Twyla
