Where did the name MzLegs come from?

It kind of stuck with me during my days of going to the clubs. I have long legs so one night I was at a club and the D.J announced that there was going to be a MS LEGS contest and I decided to enter. Long story short I ended up in the finals and won $500.00. What's surprising is that quite a  few years after the contest I was walking in a  mall here and a guy that I didn't know walked up to me and said "Hey MS LEGS and that he was at the club the night that I won. I thought it was nice that he had remembered me. I decided that I would personalize my plates MZ LEGS. So that's the story behind it.
