Flo is her name. She's the spokeswoman for Progressive Auto Insurance, lighting up televisions in a series of commercials in which her perky cashier pitches the money-saving merits of Progressive to customers. She works in a sterile, all-white big-box store, and her florid makeup stands out like paint spilled in snow.
First she caught our eye; now she's snatched our heart. Viewers are smitten. They're crushin'. They want to know: Who's that girl?
From a recent blog at HoustonPress.com, with the headline "The Cult of the Progressive Car Insurance Chick":
"Am I the only one completely and totally enamored of the woman in the television ads for Progressive car insurance? You know, the ones starring that babelicious brunette named Flo with her 'tricked-out name tag' and her '60s style eye makeup and her kissable red, red lips?"
No, sir, you are not. There's more where that mash-note came from, out there in the blogosphere's infinite confessional space: "She's hot." "She's weird but, God, she's fine!"

I take it you haven't seen the commercial where she admits
to a liking for "riding the pink pony".....
Since Billy Mayes assumed room temperature, Flo is now the most annoying voice on television.
Besides, she has an enormous ass...
I have Nationwide which has an even more annoying spokesman. I can’t stand that guy with the blue phone!
I have to agree with your comments. I used to have Progressive and they handled any claims very well. Switched to State Farm because I wasn't going to feed a lib Dem owner any further money.
she could play Abby Schuto’s ( NCIS ) bigger sister in an episode......lotta writing possibles
I’ll take “Drive Over a Cliff” for $200 Alex....lol
The Hartford has a nice stag.
:}
I like the Geico gecko, but can’t stand the stack of money with the eyes.
I can’t stand those Cox cable dwarf mutant robot things.
Erin Esurance is HOT! I can’t believe I said that. LOL
Progressive doesn’t cover your ass if you have an in-home defensive shooting. My insurance company does.
She wears a wig you know.... ;)
>>> where did they find this comedic talent, and why hasnt she been seen anywhere before?
She has been around for a while. On Mad Men she was one of the trio of switchboard ladies, and was even on the Man Show for a bit. She has also done a lot of work as voices for cartoons.
I haven’t seen ‘em, but will be on the lookout now that you mentioned it.
She makes my ass tired.
She is not ugly and comes across as very female, but there is something very slightly repulsive about her. Probably fun to work with but a lousy date.
I think she’s adorable in her quirkiness.
