Mr Gomez

What's in a name?

I have many emails, dozens, hundreds flooding in asking why I call myself the Gomez Girl.

Gomez is a common Spanish surname and I’m from down under Melbourne rather far away from Spain and a contrast in cultures.

Gomez means man and I’m a woman so why would I choose to call myself after a man from Spain??

Here’s a hint.

That man I watched as a child. Mr Gomez

Who is Mr Gomez?

Yes for me it’s all about Gomez. He is someone to swoon over. The ultimate gentlemen.  He is dashing and debonair in his looks and has an old word charm.

He wore a suit or a smoking jacket around the house and kept his moustache tidy and onyx hair slick.

He would surprise his wife Betty with a bunch of hand picked geraniums, bring his daughter Milly that latest Mauve Magazine and on every Friday he would treat Fluffy their dog with a bone.

He knew how to treat a lady and valued his family.  Gomez was a little quirky but a straight shooter.

Once Milly was in bed, he and Betty would slow dance to a big band music that would waft through the open window, from the club down the road.

Gomez's Girl

I want to be Gomez’s girl or at least find my Gomez.  

Oh Gomez, I know you’re not real but if you’re out there I will find you… but not until I have left my husband and first find myself.

Who is your ultimate man, or woman, real or fictional?  I’d love to know.   Scroll down and tell me.
