My T would be a rather buff looking stuffed duckie. She's blonde so the color I most associate with her is yellow-- which, to me, represents safety, sunshine, and cheerfulness. Her face is sweet, welcoming, and gentle, which is how I envision a little duck to be. She also has small, dark eyes and a big smile. The duck's big beak works perfectly because my T laughs a lot and, when she does, her smile seems to overwhelm her face. My T's big platform shoes also look kind of like clown feet, just like the duckie's. Finally, the blue T-shirt with the car on it reminds me of how athletic my T is and how she's rather tough and buff for a woman. I see her as having the perfect mix of sweet, delicate feminine nurturing - and strong, determined, masculine protectiveness.

I also think it's interesting that I chose a duck to represent my T because, as a child, the stuffed animal I had was a duck. I named him "Duckie" (clearly, i was a creative child ). So, the fact that my T looks kind of like a duck to me is a testament to how safe I feel with her and how comforted I am by her.
