Oh boy. Time out. I have a new one. She’s in a Prestone anti-freeze commercial. Pouring the goop into her radiator in front of her house in a tught white tank top.

I was in a sports bar with the wife, just now having a late dinner and she came on the big screen during a break in the football game, and I missed my mouth with the fork because I was staring.

Ow. But it was worth it.

That tank top?

It was also tight. In addition to being tught.

How did I forget her? Also in The Faculty and The Invisible Circus, where (if memory serves) her shirt goes missing at one point.

The woman who did the Old Spice ad. (There’s a director’s cut on their web site.) Beats the shit out of me who she is…

I second that! I loooovvvve me some Nigella. She is simply my ideal woman.  
But I wouldn’t consider her “plump”…maybe a little top-heavy, but plump?

Everyone has most likely seen “Who’s Line is it Anyway?”, at least the American version(s)  
–footnote inserted-- Clive Anderson, the original host did come over for a season to lead the “Who’s Line” cast in HollyCrud, and occasionally brought on some of the British comedians. Most know the show after Drew Carey took over and then it was just like the same 4 guys…all the time-- yaaaaawnnnn.  
The original was a Brit evening show sooooooo much more original and humorous than when it got Hollywood-ized \<— my word, it counts  
Having precluded thus, one Miss Josie Lawrence was a regular on the original.  
Raven haired beauty, intelligent and witty…a Goddess from Mount Olympus, I miss her.  
From afar that is, since the whole stalking thing and subsequent court order.

Ok, I have a “Chris Kapostasy is a major bitch” story. I had a friend who worked at Peter Harris and when Chris Kapostasy was shopping there, she lost an earring and had three salesclerks _on the floor_ looking for it–and was a bitch about it.

My current crush is Jason Bateman.

It’s interesting how some people go from ho-hum as children to really hot. Back in the day, I had a crush on Ricky Schroder, but never gave Jason Bateman a second thought.

Now, Ricky\* Schroder looks like he’s taken a few hits with the ugly stick and Jason…well he’s just yummy now.

[sub]\*He’ll always be Ricky to me.[/sub]

Sounds familiar.

She had a terribly overinflated sense of her own importance.

[Sharon Faetsch](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6565020620&category=14433#ebayphotohosting) could sell me useless crap all day, every day and I’d never mind a bit. 😃  
I also must mention that black-haired girl that used to do the gladwrap commercials. She was so perky and squeeky that there was no way you clouldn’t fall in love with her cuteness.

Are you by any chance related to my wife? I’m sad to say that, as little as I know about my wife’s crushes, I am acutely aware that four of the first five on your list match hers exactly.

Especially “Soul Patch” Almeida.

Correction: 5 of 5. I didn’t know who Sawyer Ford was at first, but she has stated explicitly that she wants someone to make a “Hotties of ‘Lost’ Calendar” so I have to assume he’s on that list.
