> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rilchiam \* > As far as Morgan Fairchild, someone on this board posited, about a year ago, that she doesn’t make any facial expressions in the hope that it’ll keep her from wrinkling. :rolleyes: Sounds like she needs to get herself some [Woodbury’s Immobilizing Cold Cream](http://www.evegolden.com/hedy.html). And let me add my voice to the chorus of those conflicted by Molly Sims: Cute and amusing on the one hand, gaunt and just a little off-looking on the other. Will I ever find peace in my soul, in the face of the conundrum that is my sorta-attraction to Molly Sims? I cannot say. ---

What about that woman in the Victorias Secrets ad, the one sitting in the chair dancing. That’s what I call a convincing commercial and I don’t even wear bras! \ [/bh] ---

You know, maybe we’ve stumbled on what’s creepy and slightly artificial about her! **Molly Simms** … **_SIMS_!!** Shes not just a model, shes a computer model! Maybe that’s why the photography is so closely cropped, she’s got a little rotating pointer thing floating over her head. It might also explain her goofy spastic dancing. ---

Oooh, oooh… dancing chair girl in Victoria’s Secret commercial. Gisele. Also known as “The Body”. She is a goddess. And that’s a girl’s opinion. Maybe she needs to be in the Old Navy commercials… .02 cents completed. ---

I think that Old Navy chick is hot. I agree the miniskirt commercial rocks. I miss the Jeffersons though… “Old Navy… Old Navy… Old Navy Performance Fleece” I downloaded it off Napster back in the Napster days… I’m a freak. ---

Even if he wasn’t making a joke, I still think it’s funny - teehee! Anyway, the old lady is Carrie Donovan. She said once on Rosie’s show that if she had to wear glasses, she might as well wear those. Those stupid ON songs from the commercials are in my head now. “Give it up, give it up, baby give it up, n-n-n-n-n-nuh!” [sup]Aside to dropzone: I saw a bunch of port-a-potties last weekend with the brand name “Drop Zone.” After I said “Eeeeeeew!” I couldn’t help but wonder if that was the inspiration for your name? I dunno, you could really like port-a-potties or something. I just realised how stupid that last paragraph was.[/sup] ---

Something about her frightens me too. She has a big jaw I think… Plus, I saw her on Conan, I guess in her more “normal” look - and she was damn near hideous. ---

Clearly, she is, if not a manifestation of the Antichrist, at least some sort of demon. They must spend three hours in make-up to hide the horns growing out of her forehead. ---

Strangely enchanting, sure. But come on – her versus the chick from the Sprint commercials? No contest. ---

To **Rilchiam** : No, I didn’t know that song was by KC and the Sunshine Band. That doesn’t make it any better, though. I still hate it. (BTW, I knew that it wasn’t composed just for the commercial, if that was what you were implying.) ---
