Her name is Naughty Nellie and she is always ready to please.

Sexy but not lascivious, these girls were part of the "Westward the Women" migration that helped to settle the West.
An historic reproduction of this sexy saloon girl siren has been recreated by Nannies's Naughty Nellies
in true Americana style along with a contemporary line of fine home and office accessories.

Women's Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots may exude a macho male aura but they're just as much a favorite with women. From tall boots in soft leather, boots in stiletto heels, a little fringe, pastel shades, a Western flare or a winsome tattoo -- small feminine touches can make even a tough boot look elegant.
For sturdy practicality, boots made as a single, closely stitched piece not only protects the wearer from water but also mud and dirt. Punks to mark a distinct identity once wore most boots, like Dr Marten's lace ups. However, cowboy boots have since gained huge popularity in women's wear and are now quite the fashion statement.
The fashion-conscious lady has a lot to choose from. Tapered heels, pointed toes, zip-up boots, and bootstraps, ankle boots in classic leather and suede styles. Boots come with decorative features like buckles, fringes, embroidery or tattoos and elegant bows.
Some women like a flat boot or a wedge heel to wear to work or for an evening out on the town....
