History of a human form...

In alt.fan.warlord, someone reposted this .sig after an ad
for an obscene 900  phone-sex number:

I thought it was about the right size for a project I wanted to to, so as
visions of Meriday danced in my head I restyled this mini-net-goddess as
follows:

     .,,-~&,
    { / ,__\`.
   { `}'-_-/\ \
   {`}'\__/  ) }
     __/ l_,' /
    /  ~   ~ f
   / ^  o } o}
  / / \`-'`-'
 { (   }    {
  `.`. j    {
    `,`-, . l
     f^' \ /}
     t    Y }
      Y    \l
       \    \
        `.   \
         !`,  \
         l /   }
         l/   /
         /  ,'
        /  /!
       / ,' l
      (. \l. `_.
        \ \_`~~'
         `''

Then, on to the final goal: My dance club could use a personalized ascii
graphic (hey - couldn't everyone?), so on went some (admittedly tight!)
clothes, in went a partner, and Voila'  A couple going into step 1 of a
West Coast Swing figure!

But then I wanted to show a more classical picture, so I exchanged the
pants for a short skirt which allowed me to move her legs up a space and
really give her the right posture (I know - the skirt really needs to be
longer so we can put a poodle on it...)

So now, having finished this, a need to add some text to fill the white
space on the right of the dancers.  I would really appreciate it if someone
who is handy with block letters could write "Dancing Illini" and then 
on a separate copy of the last picture, in block letters "Dancers'
Archive", each in a way that would fit and look nice.  Any takers? 
(improvements to the figures would be appreciated too!)
