Isn't She Lovely . . .

Isn't she heaven sent, Life is Aisha, the meaning of her name.

CONTEST!!!

That's right, folks, click the "Comment" button below and leave your suggestion for the name of my new car, (also leave your name and e-mail address), and you could win an extended stay weekend here at The Sands with Lola, our fabulous pooch, as your Dream Date.
.
Winner gets a FREE Friday and Monday add-on to their paid weekend stay at The Coral Sands, accompanied by the hottest little snausage we've got, the one and only Lola. She will wear her widdle pink dress and lick your toes until you scream.

Contest closes at 11:59 p.m. March 31, 2007. Names must be submitted by Comment to this blog posting to be eligible. No phone calls, no e-mails, no faxes, or in-person name suggestions accepted.

Well, I'm actually not worried about winning the contest, but I did want to say I just LOVE your car!!! My son and I were out and about the other day and we parked next to one...I decided we had to have one of our own! I can't until we can buy one...They are so cute. Congrats on the new addition to your family. I'm jealous. ;)

Last (for today) but certainly in no way least to today's or any future submissions of mine is:
"Mel"
This latest gift in Ruby's life is second only to the final years of Mel's life in Palm Springs he shared with the many friends, guests and his most special daughter, Ruby.
I'm sure Mel is smilin' down in gratitude upon Joe and Gary for relievin' his mind and daughter of the terrible Taurus.

Clearly this car is Loretta Lynn.

Both the VW Bug and Ms. Lynn hit it big in the 70's, went away for a little while, and came back better than ever.

Everybody loves a come-back story, and everybody loves the heart and soul of a country girl.

Loretta...loretta.... Nothing's ever sounded righter.

Well, because AMPAS (Academy of Montana's Pals and Sidekicks)gave you this 'Lifetime Friendship Achievement Award' on the heels of the Academy Awards...I think 'Oscar' is a fitting name, however, there are some great suggestions already. You have a knack for names Ruby, so I'm sure what ever name you choose, it will 'fit'. mammal

Nelly?
'cause she looks like she is vanilla colored and I know that she can be fast so people might need to yell "Whoa Nelly!"

Off the top of my head...

Grace or Gracie

Favorite definitions as to why...
Seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion.

A characteristic or quality pleasing for its charm or refinement.

A disposition to be generous or helpful; goodwill.

A favor rendered by one who need not do so; indulgence.

Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people.

The state of being protected or sanctified by the favor of God. (perfect for a car)

Missing you & the Coral Sands. Hope to get your way soon. LOVE the new car!

Your new ride, though Germanic in origin is assembled in Mexico.... so may I suggest some wonderful women to honor.... Frida of course jumps to mind, a wonderful name.
But Delores Del Rio, born into an aristocratic Mexican family as Lolita Dolores Martinez Asunsolo Lopez Negrette is famed for her conections to both Mexico and California, like your bug. This gives you a lot of names to play with.
Also Priscilla, as in Presley, your neighbor, and of course Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
If you want to go for the dramatic germanic, there's alway Marlene Deitrich, or Lili Marline.

Here are a few of mine:

"Marilyn" for hair just the color of the car, and you, and in honor of the greatest blonde of them all.

"Sandy" for obvious reasons, being in the desert and all, and on my mind especially after having spent so much time in DHS where the wind blows like a mother...

"Bisquit" for the triple-beige paint job; the warm beige of a perfectly baked bisquit, with or without the gravy; and the sweet, soft color of the best kitty in the world, my own little Biskit!
