Heeeeee! :-D
You are my hero. I haven’t seen anyone look that good in tights ever.
You can probably tell I am obsessed with good legs, since I haven’t yet mentioned the tomato outfit. However, the outfit? Also very, very cool.
And hurray! for the fundraising – congratulations times ten!
Sadie the Fire Safety Tomato? That should totally be a real thing.
Wow, you really rocked that tomato costume! Also, “Sadie The Fire Safety Tomato” would be the best mascot ever. Move over, Smokey the Bear …
Heeeee! But if you Stopped, Dropped and ROlled, how would you ever stop?
You know, it never fails. You dress up like a tomato and you have a fire drill. I wonder if that works for power outages here.
WHAT an outfit!!! I was glued to the Rockefeller Plaza web cam, and felt like a complete idiot for not being able to find a dancing tomato in the crowd (and seriously? A CRANBERRY BOG??? WTF???). Now that I know you were dancing elsewhere, I’m feeling much better about myself. But not as great as you felt after the lewd apple remarks, I’m sure… ;)
“Sadie the Fire Safety Tomato” — I cackled so loud it caused my cube neighbors to tell me I’m clearly having too much fun today. If only they knew. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
You are the finest damn tomAHto I have ever seen. (Like you haven’t heard that a thousand times today…)
You deserve a HUGE round of applause!! You looked great, by the way!! LOVED the argyle stockings with the red Chucks! I’m all jealous!! You ROCK!!
It’s all been said, but omg, I adore you. And Sadie the Fire Safety Tomato? Hilarious and should be adopted by the FDNY like, yesterday.
Looking forward to the YouTube video…
I wish I could have been there! My office had its own bizarre event happening (for which I ended up doing major grunt work at the last minute. Let me just say that if anyone here ever needs to make anything resembling sludge for an art project, hand cream, black food coloring, Oxy Clean and glue mixed work out fairly well. Don’t ask).
Congratulations again, Sars – Best. Tomato. Ever!
So I’m wondering if the fire drill was planned, and someone JUST HAPPENED to show up in a tomato suit… or if someone showed up in a tomato suit, and the Powers That Be decided that there should be a fire drill because of it.
I wonder if you’ll make any kind of news reports?
Also… who is in charge of getting the vid up on YouTube and how much longer must I wait? LOL
Also, also… Is there any way of getting a video montage of your day, also posted to YouTube?
I think the fire drill was planned; there was a sign announcing it in the elevator bay.
The tights are Hue and Mr. S got them for me for Christmas a few years ago. It’s all a circle of tomato love.
I definitely think the cranberry bog muddied the waters (as it were) re: the meaning of the costume. Still, it was good times and we all learned that a tomato is, in fact, a berry.
