Firstly, thank you all for participating in my little Name My New Car contest giving me one helluva time trying to choose a name. (Secondly, Holy Comments Batman! Fifty Two! Wowza!) You had so many fantastic suggestions! I finally narrowed it down to 4 names, and then 2, and finally had to make a choice based on what kind of personalized plate I could order (which, unfortunately, will be on the Ugliest New License Plate ever… it’s all orange and tacky and will absolutely clash with red…sigh). Without further ado, may I please introduce…
<Insert Drum Roll Here>
Red Roxy, in all her sass-tastic shininess.
Congratulations to Janet from Love is Blonde; she was the first of several to suggest “Roxy” and will be receiving a fantastic, reusable, reversible canvas bag from Ruthie Pearl, stuffed with a few little odd’s ‘n’ ends; New Car scent air freshener, temporary tattoos to get into their inner-Biker Chick groove and some vampy red nail polish. The heidikins discount is still going on over at Ruthie Pearl. So, check out these adorable, reversible canvas shopper bags here, and when you find the one (or two!) that you love the best, enter HEIDIKINS as a discount code at check-out and you’ll 20% off your entire order; it’s like giving Mother Earth a hug and walking away with a souvenir.
Happy Monday.

Yay! Gorgeous! Perfect name! Ugly license plate!
Comment by Jess 2008 May 5 @ 8:27 amWhat a beauty!!! The name fits perfectly! And she suits you and your personality 100%! Congrats on your new car!
Comment by Vanessa Christensen 2008 May 5 @ 8:29 amI want to say something like, “So nice to meet you, Miss Red Roxy,” but somehow, I don’t think I’d use that tone with a hot biker chick. So, instead I will just note that your paint job is rockin’ and I am delighted to have helped name you and your badass self.
SQUEEEEEEE! I am so excited to win! I think my favorite Ruthie Pearl bag is the Rachel!
Comment by janet 2008 May 5 @ 8:32 amI am a teensy bit disappointed that I didn’t win, but I was SO going to suggest that! Really! Janet beat me to the punch, fair and square.
I love that you based part of this decision on your vanity plate; it’s like how I picked a domain based on which Gmail addresses were available.
Comment by RA 2008 May 5 @ 8:42 amWe are soooooo in a fight right now.
Comment by Lou 2008 May 5 @ 8:43 amI think it suits PERFECTLY! Nice work Janet … and the others who suggested Roxy. It totally works.
And I’m addicted to that website – never seen it before, and now covet it all!

Comment by legallyheidi 2008 May 5 @ 9:46 amThat new car looks great!
Comment by Viviane 2008 May 5 @ 10:02 amAw, so cute! And those license plates aren’t that bad. You should see the plates we have in NJ!
Comment by Operation Pink Herring 2008 May 5 @ 10:50 amRoxy is a very appropriate name for your car, I love it.
Comment by katelin 2008 May 5 @ 11:45 amI love it! Red Roxxy! What fun! I’ll have to show Zach since he just learned how to say and identify the yellow “W-bug–wagon” in our neighborhood, and now points out other colors as well.
Comment by Jen 2008 May 5 @ 12:12 pmI think Roxy was the perfect suggestion! She looks just like my favorite nail polish!
Comment by Laurel 2008 May 5 @ 12:17 pmThat name is so fitting and I can’t imagine a more deserving winner (I read Love is Blonde frequently!). Yeah for contests!
Comment by Nilsa S. 2008 May 5 @ 12:52 pmAw, Roxy is such a cute little car… I mean, um, sassy little car
Comment by Z 2008 May 5 @ 4:42 pmI kinda like the new license plates. They’re better than the “arch” ones anyway.
I saw a beetle convertible today at a stoplight, and there was a young girl with long blond hair in the driver’s seat. It made me think of this post. Enjoy your new car!
Comment by Sov 2008 May 5 @ 11:44 pmShe’s gorgeous! Er…I mean bad ass!
Comment by Laurie 2008 May 6 @ 6:58 amYou know I love the color. Did you also know my Grandma’s name is Roxey? TRUE!
Comment by Andrea 2008 May 6 @ 4:21 pmNICE! I still think you should have named her Jenna Jameson…
Comment by Totally Juvenile 2008 May 6 @ 4:28 pmLove it! So cute! I’ll watch for you on the streets.
I got my plates about two weeks before they started issuing th new ones, so I’m one of the last to get the Ski Utah plates.
Comment by Britt 2008 May 7 @ 2:18 pmCooooool car. I love the name too!
