She is so NOT hot. But not because of her style. I find Abby from NCIS extremely hot, and they share many stylistic elements. So there must be some other reason that she takes the lead out of my pencil.
She’s “mom hot” if you were 14 and she was your friend’s mom… you’d have a boner for her.
Hot, in an unusual, “I never liked makeup before” kind of way.
The actress, without the makeup, seemed too gray-eyed to me.
Recently I got my insurance to pay for somebody dinging me while the car was parked and unattended. The body shop reassured me my insurance would be no problem, but that Progressive (and Geico) are a huge problem because they fight so hard to deny valid claims. This tells me that Flo is shilling for thieves, and the little lizard should be replaced by a weasel.
I don’t have an opinion on her hotness or not. I think they have toned the character down a little since her first appearances probably in order to make her more appealing in the hotness category.
They’ve also toned down the Lying Glade Lady and made her less of a lying pretentious bitch but probably not to increase her hotness but just make people despise her less.
I would tap that Lying Glade Bitch long before I’d go for Flo. With all her lying and conniving, you wouldn’t have to feel guilty about doing the most vile things with/to her. She’d deserve it, and probably love it!
As someone who works with people (I’m a cashier), Flo is in a line of business similar to mine and she seems like she loves her job and loves being around people and helping them out, which I also like. Plus, I’m a sucker for a girl in Chuck Taylors. The only problem is that I doubt she doesn’t talk about anything except insurance- not really my interest.
Interesting comment (and I love succinctness).
I have no dog in this fight (being a straight female; if I were pinned down I’d say she seems kind of like the dorky girl-next-door to me), but I would have guest hot-appeal (or SOME sort of appeal) would be the premise here. But honestly, I have no idea, and the poll results are sort of surprising me; in fact what exactly the effect the commercial is intended to have wrt Flo is a bit baffling to me.
Speaking as a straight male, I see a cute woman who is super-enthusiastic and goes overboard painting her face; she’s putting out, um, an “excited” signal – and even in a non-sexual context, that makes us look twice.
Well, the hots are approaching 60/40. Pretty soon they’ll be able to block a not-hot filibuster.
Which I might have to lead.
Man, I don’t agree at all. Stephanie is maybe, not smokin’ hot, but at least ok. Flo is just nuts.
Even though I don’t think about her sexually, I’m pretty sure I know why most other guys do. I think I said this in another thread, but I’ll say it again. It’s the same reason why more men preferred Mary Ann over Ginger. Mary Ann was the girl next door, and Flo is too.
Stephanie Courtney from her photo at imdb.com (linked above): very cute. Probably hot.
As Flo, with her dippy personality, aggressive but smarmy manner, and caked-on makeup? Not hot.
She’s weirdly attractive. Not hot. Barely lukewarm. But probably kinky in some as-yet-unimagined way, as in she doesn’t wear leather underwear, but velcro.
My friend would be able to get better, and also, that’s not a question you ask, because there might be an answer you don’t want to hear.
Nah. Flo isn’t my type at all and isn’t hot.
The girl next door with spectacular legs and a great bod.
I voted “hot” - just sat through some commercials on youtube. I wouldn’t have said so based on stills I’ve seen before now, which made her look, I don’t know, white-trash-y or something? But on video the bubbliness comes through and lessens the negative impact of all that makeup. She has geek appeal, I think.
She’s quirky and quirky is sexy. She’ll be 40 in a few months so she’s also older than she looks.
Camille Paglia also had a theory a few years ago on how women with prominent mouths are attractive because men associate that with oral sex.
With a bag on her head and / or her mouth corked up with, er,… something, she’d be OK. But there are better bodies in the next commercial, almost whatever it is.
I think ole **LouisB **anlayzed it perfectly in post #9.
Unless that next commercial is the Subaru “Fire in the Disco!” ad with the carwash sumo wrestlers (off the air now, thankfully).
THAT’s what it is! Was trying to put my finger on why she did appeal to me when I thought about it, it’s the geek thing!
(Interestingly, I married a non-geek, who doesn’t even look like a geek at all, and is a brunette (where redheads always turn my crank) - why is that?)
I voted “Hot” but would have preferred a “Doable” option.
I disagree with the 2nd part of that sentence. She looks 40ish to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Not that I think she’s hot, just her 40ishness isn’t the main non-hot thing.
