Every actress of lasting note has been bequeathed a special name by her fans. Clara Bow was “The It Girl,” Lauren Bacall was “The Look.” Marilyn Monroe was “The Blonde Bombshell.” Veronica Lake was “The Peek-a-Boo Girl.”
You get the idea.
So what special name should we give to Fred’s Maid? She was born as one in a set of triplets and ended up with the nickname “Trip.” But “Trip” is her family’s nickname and I feel we should have a name that comes directly from her fans. I’e always referred to her as The Little Maid, which isn’t bad, but I’m sure we can do better.

Well, her identity was a mystery for years, so why not the mystery girl? Nice to see you again, Frank.

Not bad. Perhaps Mystery Maid would be more fitting.

How about the Mob Hat Girl?

Ha! While accurate, I’m not sure it has quite the right ring to it.
