"It was so surprising," said coworker Adam Finley. "Every year she surprises us, and this year was no exception." Becky Bettenfield, of Purdy Daniel Affiliates has been dressed as a fat lady from TV for the last 14 years, it's only a matter of which fat lady she wishes to be this year.
"Well I heard when she was first hired she did Rosanne," explained Jenny from accounting. "I think that lasted five years. Ever since I've been here it's been Mimi from the Drew Carey show."
Outside of a one-year stint as Delta Burke, Mz. Longburg has apparently only done the two costumes. "Listen here, pig," she told Glossy News reporters from behind a nappy wig, 8 ounces of slather-on makeup and a mole with a personality. "I am a sassy lady with a lot of sassy personality. You can't just expect me to be Rachel from Friends or J-Lo, though not to sound stuck up or anything, I do have the booty for it."
Though co-workers agree she has more than her fair share of "the booty", they contend other factors have prevented the portrayal of such characters. These include her bitchy personality, gigantic stomach, floppy A-cups, and her "overall weathered, geriatric, nastiness", according to one anonymous source who works in marketing and has the desk right by the window when you first go in (on the left, not Jake, the other guy.)
"Dang, if only we had a fat midget working here, she could have been mini-Mimi from that one episode. That would have been awesome," said one employee after we gave him twenty dollars to do so.
Several other employees called their friends in other offices to tell them of this rare and exciting spectacle. Three reported back that his "friends office had one too," while yet another reported that "they've got three."
