Oh, how this picture brings me joy. I love it with my heart and soul. This sweet lady deserves to be added to the list of ladies we have saluted in the Break Room in the past (click HERE), as she salutes the cars that pass her. Will you join me?
*Sing to the tune of the Real Men of Genius commercials from B-dwesier...*
KELLEY'S BREAK ROOM presents…
REAL WOMEN OF GENIUS
(Overly Dramatic 80's Background Singer Guy: Reeeeeeallllllll Women of Geniuuu-uuuus!!!)
Today we salute YOU, Ms. Lady-Who-Advertises-Outside-All-Day-By-Holding-A-Store-Sign!
("Ms. Lady-Who-Advertises-Outside-All-Day-By-Holding-A-Store-Sign!!!")
It's 7:00 in the morning and you've got to get dressed FAST. The store is waiting on you to grab their gigantic advertisement and get out on that street curb ASAP. So, as fast as you can, you slide on your Statue of Liberty costume or polo with the store logo or large coffee cup outfit and dash out the front door.
(Big-big-big-sign, mama's-comin!)
As you screech to a halt in front of the store, you can see Ned fuming from behind the glass wall. You are 3 minutes late and those 3 minutes could have meant EVERYTHING. THE customer could have driven right by moments ago...but you missed him. Feeling as sorry as dirt underneath a very large pig's rear end, you rush out of your car, run to the door, grab the sign from cranky Ned and are in the grassy median inhaling exhaust fumes in seconds. There's a reason Ned hired you and this makes you smile. You're ready to make Ned proud.
(Does Ned notice I'm jumping up and down like I'm on fiiiii-hhhhhhiiii-iiiiiiiire?!?!?)
Slowly, cars begin making their way into the parking lot, though 80% of them are going to the Starbucks nextdoor. While you are wondering if you can get a cut of their profits for bringing in some business, you keep smiling widely, never stop jumping and continue to wave the sign that is as big as a ten story building with all the strength that your arms can muster, all while casting menacing glances at the guy across the street with his earphones on halfheartedly trying to get people to sell their gold.
(Nobody-messes-with-this-lady's-territory.)
So, keep standing out there in the unbearable heat or cold all year-round for the well-being of that store and know that YOUR commitment to marketing is the REAL reason we go inside your store at all. (We'll tell Ned.)
Ms. Lady-Who-Advertises-Outside-All-Day-By-Holding-A-Store-Siiiiiignnnnnnn!!!!!!!

| We're not saluting the men here. I just wanted to point out that even celebrities aren't too good to advertise on street corners in crazy costumes! www.about.com ___________________________________________________________________________________ Today's JUICE IN THE CITY Deal Houston Area (North/Northwest)  |

Salut, Lady Liberty! Aka Lady who wears funny outfits and a sign to advertise all day!
I can't imagine doing this job. I would get so tired. And bored. But I will salute anyone who can do it.
That is hilarious. Tone perfect.
And hey, at least she's out working.
I've been scouting around for a new career after I retire from teaching in a few years...hmmm...this might work.
"Feeling as sorry as dirt underneath a very large pig's rear end"
That was LAUGH OUT LOUD funny!!! I did, seriously, a big hearty chuckle!
So funny, hon! What a picture! Bless her heart! I just have a feeling she's bound to be listening to John Phillips Sousa on those ear buds. Something patriotic.
Or not...
Hehehe - that's so funny - good times, lady that stands out there in a costume. YEAH!
And on a side note, I just LOVE how good of a sense of humor JT has - it's awesome that he can laugh at himself. All the Single Ladies and D*ck in a Box? I almost peed myself.
Jumping up and down like you're on fire, AND Justin Timberlake? You have just made my day.
I choked on my happy juice this morning reading this! I love this and adore you as always!
Who cooks the eggs good? Who? Who? Who? Who cooks the eggs good? Yum. Yum. Yum. Bring it on in to Omeletteville!
What a way to make a living! gotta' give her credit!
There are sooo many people in my neighborhood who do the whole advertising thing. There are even guys dressed up as the statue of liberty. lol.
Sadly this female position is not just for women. In Stamford, CT I used to see a guy in that same costume for that same biz.
Haha, love it. I too salute that fine woman, upstanding as she is. A symbol of marketing genius, and dare I say it, freedom.
AWESOME Tribute!! That woman definitely deserves a medal and a lot of money! I had to dress up as Miss Piggy once and hand out fliers. Worst. Job. Ever.
We had the best sign twirler in the city I used to live in. He even got asked to do a few commercials he was that good. Always made me smile
this reminds of the SNL skits with the hot dog costume guy. We have a Gold buying guy sometimes. I think any place needing that type of advertizing for a service involving taxes or valuables might not be the best place.
I want to buy that lady a beer. The shit she must talk about when she's liqured up....
Plus she shows her face, dressed like that. Great pick, Kelley. I salute her with sincere respect and patriotism.

I once took a Liberty Lady hot chocolate as she was posted next door to this cafe I hang my paintings in--it was a horrible blustery cold day. Do you know, she looked at me and asked, "why doesn't it have whipped cream?"
I did not. I did not throw it at her.
I love your spoofs on the Bud commercials. That photo of Lady Liberty is so funny. And so scary.
These spoofs make me laugh so hard. The Liberty Tax place near us always has men dressed as Lady Liberty. It's a good excuse for cross-dressing jokes.
Do you think she swears at the people that beep & wave but don't stop? We always do that to the Chic Fila cow on the corner! Funny stuff!!
Kelley, you know these salute you! crack me up.
This one, I always say it's the best one, but it's true: they keep topping the last one.
This one had me dying.
I wish I were sitting next to you in the car when you'd drive past.
I'd love to hear this live.
There is absolutely no way I could do that job! So, I salute her!
I always feel so badly for the sign and costume folks on the side of the road! It's just so humiliating!
I once saw a man dressed as a cupcake. He was advertising a new fancy cupcake joint. My kids refused to go to the place because they didn't want to condone that type of marketing.
Our Statue of Liberty person is a guy and he break dances in his costume! Those poor people in the Florida and Texas heat. I will always give a beep and a wave from now on in honor of your Statue of Liberty lady.
Saluting Lady Liberty.
She'd probably salute back to us but I think her arms would likely fall off after waving all day. LoL.
Those people put up with so much for minimum wage. Truly gotta hand it to em'. LoL
I'm always thankful for our Lady Liberty Lady because she distracts me from the fact that it takes SIX minutes for the damn light to change. :)
I always laugh at the Statue of Liberty people with the signs. They seem sillier than most.
There is a guy in our town who dances on the side of the road at a main intersection- for many hours almost every day. Sometimes some of the companies around will give him one of their signs to dance with. That makes me smile.
It's a pride swallowing gig. I'd sooner collect welfare checks. But I'm lazy and like handouts. And I don't have the figure for a grilled cheese sandwich outfit.
Genuinely when someone doesn't know after that its up to other people that they will assist, so here it takes place.
