Yahoooooo-ooo-ooooo!

Submitted by on May 8, 2009 – 2:39 PM24 Comments

Thanks to all your donations in the TN Contest ’08, I got to meet Jerry Yang of Yahoo! yesterday.   Pictured: Jerry and I try to act natural while plotting world domination.

A big thank-you to Nicki for coordinating, and of course to Jerry for making the time.

    Your hair is ridiculously fantastic.

  • Lorin says:

    Welcome to the West Coast!

  • Tisha_ says:

    Yay!!!! AND, I agree with Maria… Your hair looks FAB!

  • Rachel says:

    DAMN, girl. You look utterly fantastic. I love your hair a little too much.

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    1) Link is now fixed; sorry about that.

    2) It’s the first time in two weeks my hair had looked even mediocre, much less good. Must be the hotel shampoo.

  • Nicki Dugan says:

    So utterly fabulous to have Sars here in Sunnyvale! Sorry it wasn’t a longer visit. Enjoy the socks! And we’re waiting for the audacity of the next challenge.

  • Stephanie says:

    The hotel shampoo and the glorious California weather. Just be glad you weren’t here last week with the rain.

  • Kate H says:

    Your hair? Made of truth and win. Totally poach the shampoo when you go home.

    And welcome to my ‘hood(ish) :). Should you get up to SF and want recommendations on dive bars with hostile bartenders who pour incredibly stiff drinks, I still know a spot or two to which I can direct you.

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    @Kate H: Feel free to hit me with that on email (bunting at tomatonation dot com).

  • Cyntada says:

    Sars, you once said re: pics of yourself: “Add a point, and that’s me in real life” (or something like that).

    You just hit 11. That’s a great shot!

  • Tempest says:

    OH!!! Love the hair, the outfit, everything. You look fantastic! (I know – I’m late to the party, but I just checked in!)

  • ferretrick says:

    So did you decide to keep the blonde after all?

    Also, you totally look like you could achieve world domination.

  • Anne-Cara says:

    You (and your hair) look awesome!

  • Jenn says:

    Awesome visit. Awesomer hair and outfit – you look fabulous!

  • Rachel says:

    I want your jackety thing- that’s awesome! (seriously, where is it from? I may have found a quest.) Hope the world-domination plotting was productive.

  • RJ says:

    What a great picture!!! :)

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    @Rachel: Old Navy (but it’s from last year).

  • c8h10n4o2 says:

    What about the skirt? I’m coveting over here. How long is it?

  • SP says:

    congratulations! Also, did you see that thirtysomething Season 1 is coming out on DVD? (Per Amazon)

  • Sars, you came to the bay area and I didn’t know! For shame. I could’ve dragged you out to the Livermore wineries where the chardonney runs rampant and all the good wineries run loosely. Please tell me you at least got to downtown Sunnyvale and went to Scruffy Murphy’s (I haven’t been to Sunnyvale in so long, I have no idea if it still exists).

    But seriously, if you ever come back to the SV for any length of time I’d be your happy winery tour guide and then I’d take you to First Street Ale house where the micro brews run rampant and there’s always a crazy cast of regulars and the bartender, Tommy, looks like he’d rough you up, but is seriously a love-able teddy bear and one of the waitresses was obviously trying out for the Amy Winehouse look-alike contest. See, suburbs aren’t boring….

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    Hee, you guys are hilarious. The skirt is actually a sleeveless jersey dress from Athleta; it hits around the knee if you’re tall.

    If anyone cares, I am also wearing a J. Crew cardi, Blowfish boots, MAC mascara, and a Cover Girl long-wearing lipstick that I actually bought when I was out here in ’02, with money my friend DH lent me after my bag was stolen. It was my only possession besides my B&B room key for like three days, it goes with everything, it stays on a really long time, and of course they don’t make it anymore.

  • Sandman says:

    Just so you know, we’d probably forgive you a few “My pal Jerry Yang says … ” stories. (Not that you’d do that.) Great pictures! I hope the visit was fun.

  • attica says:

    I want to add my kudos to your look!

    Was your ‘world domination planning’ meeting actually substantive, or was it ‘hi, good on ye’ kind of meetngreet? Can you divulge any corporate secrets? We promise we won’t tell!

  • Rebecca U says:

    I totally missed this! I’m a mere 10 minutes or so from Yahoo. D**g. Hope you had fun here in the sun in CA.
