I’m bringing up this subject again because I want to sing the praises of [Liz, the accident-free customer](http://www.simonecook.com/) on the otherwise gag-inducing [Nationwide “vanishing deductible” commercial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLyAAI0BLL0&feature=player_embedded).

Rowr.

[The “I’m going to college in my PJs” girl](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Kv-KYpD10) I’d like to be her lab partner…in…anatomy class…

(that means I want to see her naked)

She is pretty sweet.

Yes to both. Nationwide has another good looking black chick in another ad, too.

Guys! She does NOT make me gag!

For the complete opposite, check out this Toyota commercial that ran a few weeks ago (if it’s not still running): [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ago1C9NpPPc](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ago1C9NpPPc)

I get that they’re trying to convey that average people just like yourself drive Toyotas, but jeez. Seeing people that fat driving a Toyota makes me less likely to want one.

I currently have the hots for the girl in the [York Peppermint Patty commercial.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzcxM6u7ey0) She’s also in [this Bing commercial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0f8X_SOVjA). “Gorgeous” may not be the right word for her, but I find her very alluring.

Did you notice that the top recommended video is to a video on weblog account? And that her name is boycrazy or, in real life, Alexi Wasser?

Also, if you are into seeing more of her (if you know what I mean) look her up on Google Images. But be prepared–she has some more traditional looks.

And, even though I grew up in the Internet age, I still am astounded at how much information I got in less than two minutes.

Yeah, I watched some of those “iamboycrazy” videos after I posted the link to the York commercial. I am even more smitten. 🙂

Looks like she was on the short-lived TV series “Dirt” and has been in several movies, too.

Here is famous Chinese actress Yifei Liu in this [cute commercial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buMWCD5e4F0) with some dude. The song in the background is about the beauty of youth. How fitting.

She’s in a new commercial. I can’t remember if it was for Bing or a car (It could have been tickets for the World Series for all I know ;-), but she’s with a guy in it if that rings a bell with anyone. Over here, she’s the type most guys would ignore, but would have my attention.

All time, I’d go with Pia Zadora in those Dubonnet wine ads about 30 years ago.

There’s an ad for NFL Redzone (I can’t find it online…) where a bunch of people are watching football.

One of those people happens to be one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen.

Darby Stanchfield, whom you might recognize as the divorcee neighbor from Mad Men, is smoking in an Enterprise Car Rental commercial.

The only clip is [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HE00A8KQHU)shoddily edited youtube abortion, but she shows up in the first few seconds saying, “red or black”.

Not to get all up in your business, but why do so many posters provide no context for their hyperlinks? I understand if in this case you don’t know her name, but tell me the company, product, or something that can clue us into if we’ve seen it before. It’s a bitch browsing smbd on my Droid and debating whether I want to click a vague link and load up the youtube app when it turns out to be something I’ve seen a thousand times or some other b.s.

Oops.  
I normally describe links. In this case I’d put a comment about how controversial the ad apparently is (some find it sexist / sleazy), then deleted the comment and what was left had no context.
