No way. I think it means she loves hot, crazy and animalistic sex and knows where to go for it.

Give it time, it’s been here less than a day and much of that was spent re-animating.

Sorry, but I could have **sworn** I started this thread.

Guess I’m more demented than I thought!

I’d like to see Flo sell insurance to Spike from Buffy Vampire Slayer. 🙂

I bet she’d never miss a beat. Capt Ahab didn’t throw her. Nothing gets that girl flustered. 🆒

Flo is one of the better characters for a comercial that I’ve seen. Yup, she’s hawt.

You guys are looking way too deep into figuring out why she’s hot. You need look no further than her big, bright red DSLs.

Oh, come now. You don’t think she has an appealing personality?

i think that’s exactly why men like her. She’s the ultimate innocent. And, yet, it seems like she’d be quite kinky. It’s like getting the girl next door and the BDSM girl all in one.
