Abstract
A toiletry article storage system includes a main body portion, configured to resemble a body portion of an elephant and having first, second, third and fourth members, and an upper body portion configured to resemble an elephant head and having fifth, sixth and seventh members. Each of the first and second members outwardly project from a front side surface of the main body portion. Respective side surfaces of the first and second members are generally parallel with, and spaced apart from, each other to define a first opening sized to slidingly receive a liquid soap dispenser supported by a surface on which the storage system rests. Each of the third and fourth members outwardly project from a rear side surface of the main body portion. Respective side surfaces of the third and fourth members are generally curved and spaced apart from each other to define a second, generally circular, opening sized to captively retain a stand-up toothpaste tube supported by the surface. The fifth member and sixth members laterally project from respective side surfaces of the upper body portion while the seventh member upwardly projects from a generally flat top side surface of the upper body portion. Apertures for supportable holding a pair of toothbrushes above the surface are respectively formed in the fifth and sixth members and a cup is positioned on the top side surface of the upper body portion such that the seventh member extends into the interior thereof.
