Those pig-tails and the straw sucking. Good lord she’s hot. It’s all about the O. Most likely with me it wouldn’t be but God loves a trier. ---

41?!? Damn… I placed her in the early-to-mid 30’s. I wonder what she looked like in her early 20’s… Overstock doesn’t seem to be a particuarly good deal though. Some things are OK, others you might as well go to Target. ---

Eh, If I were a rich millionaire playboy; I wouldn’t give her the time of day. But see’n as how I just a white-trash-class po’ boy. I definately wouldn’t mind her dressed up in that tenis skirt as I’d have my perverted little way with her. She’s pretty, but she needs to quit acting like she’s got the whole sex pot thing down. Because she SO doesn’t… ---

OK I just realized she’s 40 something. I take back what I said, Wait a minute, no I don’t. But being that she’s 40 something adds to her hotness. Kind of like the mom on the Gastino Girls. (And yes I know I muerdered the spelling) ---

What I hate about those commercials is that they are really loud (as are some of the diet supplement commercials: “When is a diet pill worth $157 a bottle?”). So I either mute the commercial or fast forward if it’s something on the DVR. ---

She reminds me a lot of Diane Lane. Which is to say, she is smokin’ hot. Dumb commercials though. ---

That woman annoys the ever loving crap out of me. So much so that Bird Man knows to change the channel when she comes on. I think it’s the smug “I’m sexy, look at me!” and the little accent that does it. ---

She is a GODDESS. I completely lose track of whatever show I’m watching when she is on. I am in love with her. I have no idea what she is selling but I’ll buy it. Dish soap, cars, guns, or tampons, I don’t care, I’ll buy it. ---

I like her but(t) mainly because I remember her from several commercials over the years. Anyone remember the one she and Petty from Seisfeld did where he’s (I think) looking for his shirt and she appears at the bedroom door wearing it, a seductive smile and nothing else? ---
