Blackfoot, Idaho: Uniroyal Gal

No longer flaunting her wares in a bikini, the giant waitress at Martha's Cafe returned from a makeover with a big honking diamond ring on her finger. This gal has been a Blackfoot resident for decades.

Had a nice chat with the manager at Martha's Cafe, who said that the Uniroyal Gal's plate of fries will be put back up as soon as Martha's can figure out how to stop birds from eating the styrofoam.

This tall lady looks like she's showing off the big rock on her finger, and sports a new coat of paint.

Her huge plate of french fries has been retired, but it's nice to see that her makeover retained her retro-wristwatch.

We were in Blackfoot this past week, and, sadly "Martha" is gone. We don't know who moved her or where she went. Sigh...

According to someone answering the phone today at what sounded like a very busy Martha's Cafe, the Uniroyal Gal/Waitress statue has been temporarily removed for repairs and "a makeover." They hope she will be back up before the end of summer 2011.

Big lady at a cafe called Martha's. Great food!

We like the honking big wristwatch augmentation. In another photo, Martha's had a sign up advertising that they are "Hiring Wait Staff." Perhaps the time-conscious giantess is scaring away prospects?

The Uniroyal Gal in Blackfoot, ID is in wonderful shape and appears to be very well maintained. She's done up in gawdy make-up, straight out of the 70's and she's offering up a fresh plate of steaming hot Idaho steak fries. She's only a few minutes out of the way for anyone on their way to Yellowstone, so how could anyone possibly resist snapping a photo? With a Cowboy Muffler Man on the east side of Yellowstone in Cody, and a couple more to the north of Yellowstone, in Montana, this part of the country looms large in the Muffler Man legend.
