All the duckies that play, work and entertain in My Ducky Garden in West Seattle — all those loveable duckies are known as Lulu Duckies ™. You might wonder what “lulu” means. You might have a false impression that “lulu” means “crazy” or “eccentric” or something like that. In fact, “lulu” has a lot of possible meanings because, well, we humans love our slang.
However, on the simplest level, “lulu” means “remarkable person, object, or idea.” At other levels, it can mean a very attractive person (a “stunner” or a “knockout”). In Australia, as a slang term, “lulu” means better than “rad” (radical) as in, “did you see that — that was better than rad, that was totally lulu!” In case you are wondering, yes, I consider the Lulu Duckies definitely a cut above “rad.”
One of the things that makes Lulu Duckies so lulu (remarkable and special) is that they are not drawings, or graphic art, or the product of the manipulation of a photograph or photographs in Photoshop. No, indeed, they are duckies who have existed in the real world and have worked and entertained neighbors, friends and visitors in My Ducky Garden in West Seattle, Washington.
