The Anonymous Hottie of the Indeterminate Time Period
« on: March 05, 2008, 02:47:46 am »
I have a nasty habit of developing Inev-like crushes on chicks in commercials... and I've long considered that if I ever get my website back in business, I would have a section called "The Anonymous Hottie of the Indeterminate Time Period," where I could act like a 14 year old girl gushing over Justin Timberlake when discussing cute women in television ads who I've never seen before, and will probably never see again.

The first candidate was a girl from a set of recentish McDonald's Monopoly commercials, who revealed that she planned to win big using "my Egg McMuffin strategy. It involves eggs... and McMuffins." Sadly, this commercial doesn't run anymore, and not even YouTube seems to have recorded it for posterity.

So her indeterminate time period has come to an end. Long may her successor reign... the redhead in the purple shirt in this commercial.

Really it's complimentary, it's showing that they are doing their job correctly in causing your hottie-seeking instincts to override logic.

dude, I fuck*ng hate that Dunkin Donuts commercial.

The girl I'm digging on is the one in these ads lately for... some Department Store? Maybe Sears? JC Penny? It's a bunch of people doing American things, and this one girl is roller-skating, she's adorable. I think she has an afro?

I'm wondering when IMDB will have a listing for the woman currently starring as Perky Cashier in the Progressive insurance commercials.  Without a name to go with the face, my fansite domain registration is holding up production.

EDIT: Or I could ask Google and learn it in a hurry.

Similarly, I had a big-time woman-crush on The Chick From The Glad Bag Commercials.  I used to say that we'd be seeing her again, that she had a good camera presence and would land a bigger role someday. 

Sure enough, she's the girl who replaced Sherona on Monk.

I will give a dollar to the first person who can tell me the name of the sultry redhead in the New Pornographers "The Laws Have Changed" video.

weird. I don't know who that is. I am going to see that band with my little brother in April.
They actually do not do that much for me, and certainly not enough to justify that I just spend 60 damn dollars on tickets for the two of us. He'll pay me back for his, but, damn, that is some dough to see a band I don't particularly like.
But, you know, he's at a point in his life. He needs to do things with people or he will just turn into a little machine that does math problems and plays basketball and ignores my parents, all of these incredibly well.

I gotta say, not the best choice. The NPs are (according to last.fm) my 2nd favorite band and I skipped their current tour. As wombat has said part of their appeal is how slick their recordings sound, which is of course lost at a live performance. Plus they tend to mumble their banter.

The fact that I don't like what I've heard of the opening act, Okkervil River, sealed the deal. Last tour Emma Pollack opened and she was awesome.

But hey, the stage-left keyboard player is pretty cute. And her other band, Imperial Teen, is worth a listen.

For a while, I was definitely torn on whether it was a good or a bad thing that I haven't had any idea of who the "new" bands were... basically since I graduated college. That while is over, I think.

But they have the word "new" in their name!

Man, I'm torn. The Dunkin' Donuts commercial is still on, but the "Hola!" chick from that Taco Bell commercial is there... crisis in the Hottie House!

DISCONNECTED RAMBLING ABOUT THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

I'm listening to "Challengers" right now; it is a pretty good album, but it is a little slower than their other stuff. It makes me rather glad I saw them in Boston in October, since I think I like a lot of the songs better having heard them in a high-energy setting.

In retrospect, I'm a little ambivalent about that concert. I agree with Cort that, in hindsight, the "this is interrupting my drinking time!" attitude from Bejar was palpable. On the other hand, I kind of liked them live and jangly; it was an interesting alternate perspective on music I find interesting and dense.

Bejar drives me nuts. His songs are always the ones I like least, and both times I've seen them live Carl and Neko practically had to beg him to come out and actually sing a song. During the encores he was even more stubborn.
