The English girl in the Windows 7 commercial. She looks so professional, yet her accent is really cockney. Dunno why, but I have a serious crush on her. Should be gone next week. ---

Mike Holmes from _Holmes on Homes_. Or my bf dressed like Mike Holmes - even better. **tdn** - I’m assuming my name isn’t on your list because your crush on me isn’t fleeting?? ---

Alison Sweeney, host of **The Biggest Loser**. She’s totally not my type- I tend to go for petite brunettes- but something about her speaks to certain parts of me. ---

The Man from the [Old Spice commercial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE). Seriously, I could watch that commercial every day. In fact, I’ve watched it online a few times just for fun. I am devastated that they stopped showing his commercials during Lost. Devastated!! ---

> [@Agent\_Foxtrot](#): > > The English girl in the Windows 7 commercial. She looks so professional, yet her accent is really cockney. Dunno why, but I have a serious crush on her. Should be gone next week. If you mean [Crystal](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLAO9YnlJSU), she isn’t cockney. Standard middle class, probably private school, with a tiny touch of an estuarine glottal stop - though the words “task bar” have elongated vowels which hint at the west country. If it’s some other chick, linky? ---

**tdn** - you always make me smile. I have 2 other crushes: [Ahmed Hassan](http://www.hgtv.com/ahmed-hassan/bio/index.html) from _Yard Crashers_. [Scott McGillivray](http://www.hgtv.com/scott-mcgillivray/bio/index.html) of _Income Property_. Why yes, I do have an HGTV fetish. Why do you ask? ---

Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs. And the cute security guard in my building - Joe. Of course, being as Joe technically works for me, our love is forbidden… ---

No, that’s her _swoon_. And I was looking for that YouTube vid last night, but couldn’t find it. Thanks! ---

Whitney, who is short, blonde, demure, and built like a swimmer, with broad shoulders and an hourglass figure. She’s also 23 years younger than I am, so the attraction’s strictly sexual (and theoretical). ---

I fall in love with [Sean Bean](http://www.sharpe-books.co.uk/images/seanbean_rifles.jpg) everytime I see a Sharpe movie. Sharpe’s Peril was on PBS a couple weeks ago. Boromir didn’t do much for me, so it must be the character or the uniform. ---

Side-conversation: in all of these commercials, don’t they use completely different actors for the “epiphany” part? It’s just a weird, confusing thing to stick in the middle there. ---
