And now, a post about the girl in those Mercury commercials

I've been in love with this woman for over a year now. The girl in the tight blue sweater that talks about how great the cars are. Until now, I didn't have any idea who she was or where she came from. I just knew that I never changed the channel whenever her commercials came on.

But now thanks to Google (a cache actually; the original page didn't come up), I find out that her name is Jill Wagner. She was born in Winston-Salem, NC, has a business degree from North Carolina State University, and has been an actress in Not Just Another Teen Movie, Big Fat Liar, Punk'd, Dr. Vegas, and Monk. She has a role in the upcoming TV series version of the Blade flicks.

Wow, she's going to be on every single week now? Hey Keith, can I review this show?

I know how you feel. I was the same way about Molly Sims from the Old Navy commercials until I saw her act on Vegas. I'm sure she's a very nice girl, but she uh, lost her charm when she had to, you know, ACT.

Speaking of women in commercials, I find myself wondering who
the girl is in the Garnier Frustis spot with that impossibly long,
long hair. The location is a faux diner of some sort....
