This was sent to me today. When I see something this important I want to share it with the world.
You can see the original article on AZCentral. This is a Realtor named Anna Kruchten who has a company named Anna Banana Realty.
This has already given me an idea that is going to make a huge difference in how people see me.

Russell,
Thanks for sharing. I was really wanting to be the first one to dress our company up like a banana, but someone beat me to it. Hope nobody has taken grapes, or apples ….

No sour grapes here: Russell Shaw is the top banana!

Jay Thompson says:
LOL. I can just picture Russell standing on a corner, dressed like a big giant banana, waving at people.
I don’t know if that image is funny, or disturbing.

Disturbing Jay – Russell in a banana suit *shutter* I know Anna pretty well – she and her gang are just the best… she’s been pulling the Anna Banana tag for quite a few years.

OMG! Too funny.
I want to know this- the article uses the word “success”. Is she?

I suddenly find you much more a-peeling. Want to know something funny (and this is TRUE)? I was the banana last year. I had a home on Broker Caravan on Halloween, and actually wore the banana during the two hour open house. It was difficult to get my head into the car, but I am a professional, after all.

“I was the banana last year”

LOL…The things Folks will do for publicity…
However, Russ, I think you look great! I haven’t seen ANYONE look as great as you in a banana suit since the “Late, Great” Charles Nelson Reiley… Remember this ad?

Wow, I always wondered what it would be like to see a Viking banana. I guess now I know.
Russell, is this in honor of Halloween…?

Banana nana fo fana
Thanks for answering my lifelong question of “What happened to the Banana Guy” every time I saw a fruit of the loom commercial. Of course you gave up underwear for real estate.

Bananas are good for a juice/smoothy company, kinda quirky for a Real Estate company. But hey if that helps her differentiate, then…You Go Girl! I have to go make me a banana shake.

I must say, Russel looks good as a banana, not to mention, great branding for Anna Banana!
