Snophia the Snowoman
This morning, Princess (my 3 year old) and I decided to build a snowman in the beautiful, fluffy, new-fallen Utah snow. Being a CA native, I did not realize that beautiful, fluffy, new-fallen Utah snow is not good for building snowmen. It is hard to pack and does not roll. We would not be dissuaded though. We started building a large mound of sorts, hoping that something resembling a snow figure might come out in the end.
With the help of my sister-in-law and her accessories and a few huge shovelfuls of snow from my dh, we created Snophia the Snowoman.
We believe she brings us one step forward on the Snowomen Liberation Front, but her cliché pink dress, painted face and ample bosoms have perhaps taken us two steps back in the Feminist Movement.
(And yes, she is wearing a strapless dress. It just seemed like the most flattering silhouette for her full figure and disproportionate arms.)

Carrie! she's wearing one of your designs...and I guess that wasn't a digital camera in your coat pocket...it was a tape measure. Rats.

How amazing that I've never in my life ever considered building a snowoman. Great job!

You have just put every pile of snow I've ever built to shame.
Wonderful job!!

Very cute. No surprise at all that she is a fashionista snowlady, given her stylist and designer.

Pink happens to be this feminist's favorite color!
