I don't know, she may be 36 now, but if she's 14 in that picture it definitely deserves a pedobear.

This is what Alyson Hannigan looked like at 14, so I don't think so:

Redhead= check
Pasty white skin= check
Red lips= check
Hillsides for roaming= check check

Definitely meets all criterias

I'm all in with Joan (Christina Hendricks)


Aww, I hate to break it to you, but Christina Hendricks is a fake redhead. The carpet doesn't match the drapes. Fake redheads don't count.

I'll have one Alicia Witt to go please.

Unfortunately no, but you're right, she may dye herself down there too. :p

She's open about dying her hair:

But I must admit, the first time I saw her in Firefly, I was damned impressed.

Flo is/was a total rip-off of Erin the Esurance Girl...who is pretty hot and original for a cartoon spokesperson. Flo has the same 1960s Bondgirl/Gidget throwback look with the fake-eyelashes-only-on-top-eyelid and same hairstyle as Erin, but Erin came out long before Flo did.

I always thought Erin was artsy, very original and liked her, but I never knew what Coulrophobia (the fear of Clowns) was supposed to feel like until Flo started showing up on my TV set. Now I totally understand.

*shudders*

And that ad is killing us. Everyone is shopping. Progressive is writing a ton of business from what I hear. it is on every channel, all the time.

Nah. That Esurance series played on some sort of secret agent style vibe, although they've killed it for a series that seems a little bit strange.

I remember reading an article on the actress/comedian who does that "Flo" role - Stephanie Courtney. Apparently she improvised the idea of a completely overcaffeinated and excessively perky checkout girl, using her improv comedy background. All that stuff also takes a couple of hours to get the hair and makeup right.

Hey, I like the Gecko! The CEO, unfortunately, reminds me of some bosses I encountered in my working career. Yes, it was in the insurance biz.

I really don't get (or like) the Geico cavemen, Flo is really crushing them, best commercials character since the Dell dude (granted it's a very thin field.)

Uh, Isaiah Mustafa's Old Spice guy on a horse is the best commercial character since the everything in the world with Terry Tate's office linebacker coming in second.

The Dell dude sucked.
