On this site, they claim that it was Old English slang for "beautiful" lady... http://www.calandrastudio.com/websitepages/blooferlady.html
Wikipedia concurs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula
Not sure, because I can't find any official source, but that might be the meaning.
The Norton Critical Edition of Dracula states that the term "bloofer lady" is "Child talk for 'beautiful.'" If you think about it, in English dialect, no less spoken by a small child, "beautiful" could be corrupted to "bloofer."
