The mudflap girl is an iconic silhouette of a woman with an hourglass body shape, sitting, leaning back on her hands, with her hair being blown in the wind. The icon is typically found on mudflaps, clothing, and other items associated with trucking in the United States.〔Trebay, Guy. ("Front Row; Burly Girl Power" ). ''The New York Times''. 19 August 2003.〕 The image is sometimes also known as trucker girl, trucker lady, or seated lady. This famous design was created in the 1970s by Bill Zinda of Wiz Enterprises in Long Beach, California, to promote his line of truck and auto accessories. It is variously claimed to be modeled on Leta Laroe, a famous exotic dancer at the time〔("Mud Flap Girl", simonroy.blogspot.com, April 16, 2007 )〕〔(What I Learned About Truck Mud Flaps. ) ''Boosh News.'' 28 March 2010.〕 or on Rachel Ann Allen, a friend's wife, and mother of Ed Allen, the trademark's owner.〔(Kieth Barry, Apr 29, 2011 Wired.com ) Mudflap girl was this guy's Mom〕 The Mudflap Girl was a registered trademark in the United States from May 14, 2009 until June 11, 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trademark Registration Number 3742024 )〕 ==Parody== * As a parody, Wyoming Libraries use a mudflap girl holding a book, in an effort to attract readers.〔(The Wyoming Libraries Campaign )〕〔"(Library's Mudflap Girl Campaign Turns Heads )", by Matt Joyce (AP), ''Casper Star-Tribune'', March 23, 2009.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wyoming Libraries Mudflap Girl bookmark )〕 * In issue #4 of the Dreamwave Productions comic ''Transformers: The War Within'', Optimus Prime is portrayed as having a mudflap with the silhouette of Elita One.〔(tfwiki.net )〕 * The Mudflap girl (as a chicken) was used in the Wacky Package "Perdude Chicken", parodying Perdue Farms.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mudflap girl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
