Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg!

Yea, Yea... I know it looks like my "g" key needs to be fixed, but in all reality Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is a real place! It's also the longest place name there is in the whole wide world. Apparently those people who want to take the easy way out just call it Lake Webster, since it's a lake in Webster, Massachusetts. It's near the border of Connecticut and has a surface area of 1,442 acres. Sounds like quite the party place though (and quite a tongue twister)!

But there's also a problem with good ol' Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg: The Telegram & Gazette of Worcester said local Chamber of Commerce officials agreed that the spelling may be wrong on some sings, because there was an "o'' at letter 20 where a "u'' should have been, and an "h'' at letter 38 where an "n'' should go. (I'm sure a lot of people have noticed the errors). The name's Indian in origin and a joking myth said it translated 'You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fish in the middle.' It's more recently been translated as "Fishing Place at the Boundaries -- Neutral Meeting Grounds." Either way, there's no denying that's one long friggin name! Imagine getting that lake name in a Spelling bee or as the question for a Jeopardy answer? Yikes!

Obama's White House Dog is Portuguese!

It's a boy! - Dog that is....President Barack Obama and family have made it official that their pet dog will be named Bo, a Portuguese Water Dog. The dog was a special gift bestowed on them by good friend, Senator Ted Kennedy. It's named Bo after some cat the Obama daughter's cousins have and after Michelle Obama's late father who was nicknamed "Diddley". It's a weird sounding dog breed, but it is becoming quite popular amongst households, even more so now that it's part of the Obama family!

The Portuguese Water Dog seems like it'll be a really good pet dog to have romping around the Oval Office. These dogs are considered sorta hypoallergenic, meaning they won't cause guests with dog allergies to sneeze, cough and cry while they're in the presence of the Prez. Of course inflated monkeys are completely hypoallergenic, and I wouldn't have minded partying it up at the White House, bowling with Barack, doing arm workouts with Michelle, and going to Hannah Montana concerts with the girls.

Just so you know, the Obamas had originally planned to adopt a dog from a shelter, but instead got one free. So to make up for it, they're giving the Humane Society a nice little donation...I was going to ask Obama to donate to my inflated monkey party fund but I'll wait until all the fanfare over the new puppy has died down.

Bo, the Portuguese Water Dog, official moves into the White House on Tuesday according to various reports. You can be sure TMZ, CNN, Yahoo and every other media outlet will be tracking its every move. Sorry Bo, but it comes with the territory!

Babes of Current TV Infomercials

(I think they're talkin' bout the tomatoes!!^^)

See your favorite sexy hot pics and images now!

Today I want to take a look at some of the current Babes of TV Infomercials (BOTI) or "As Seen on TV Hotties Monkey Adores" (ASTHMA). You know the girls who use the whole "sex sells" concept to help pitch products. I'm sure you've seen the current TV infomercial ads on late night television or early morning TV which sell things like Chuck Norris or Tony Little fitness products like the Gazelle? Or you've seen those continually repeating advertisements for Snuggies or Debut reduction... Or maybe you've seen those products that claim there's some shortcuts to internet millions? Most of these recent infomercial ads rely on having hot hostesses or spokesmodels who lure buyers into buying. That's the beauty of these infomercial ads, and why this crazy monkey loves them (well some of them).

Let's take a look at my favorite infomercial babes and as seen on TV hotties:

1) Victoria Del Rosal - SLTV hostess

(SLTV hostess & bikini model, VDR)

(See more hot and sexy pics!)

This one's a no brainer for me. Miss Victoria Del Rosal (aka Angie Del Rosal) currently serves as a hot latina hostess on SLTV (Shop Latino TV) or (Sexy Latina TV). She's modeled for Nissan, been in Puerto Vallarta Maxim and knows how to host and sell with the best of em on TV! I've already professed my love for her here at this blog countless times, because her sexyness is really what gets people buying silly products like the Shape Changer Bras, Air Climbers, Hair stylers, or Ab Rockers. All you need is Victoria in a tight, sexy outfit, and the product starts flying off the shelves at SLTV! She's a hot hostess with the mostest. Victoria Del Rosal, Angie, whatever you go by... call me. ;)

2)The Jeff Paul Girls

The Jeff Paul Shortcuts to Internet Millions product features several beauties depending on which version of the infomercial you watch. In its earlier days, this ad for an easy way to make money online featured two busty babes named Tina Milano and Kelly Britz. One was blonde, the other brunette, just in case you needed help identifying that. The two hotties discussed how easy it was to set up their own email and just make money online..jiggle jiggle. The hypnotic effect was quite clever and people bought in while the sight of breasts mesmerized them.


(New Jeff Paul girls: Carmen Palumbo & Stacey Hayes)

Fast forward to present day and we have two even more beautiful Jeff Paul Girls, again a brunette and a blond. In the newest commercial which is set in a lavish luxury resort mansion setting, Carmen Palumbo and Stacey Hayes have become the next generation of Jeff Paul Girls. You may recognize Stacey as the hot co-host on the TV game show, Lingo with Chuck Woolrey.

3) Women of The FIRM

What's better than sexy women, hot housewives and cute young coeds in tight spandex, shorts and leggings doing high intensity aerobics, stretches, yoga positions and sweating while they do workouts? Not much I can think of! The FIRM fitness workouts product has been around for decades (started in 1979) in its infomercials featuring a bevvy of beauties controlling the tempo of housewives looking to shed pounds all around the nation. Some of the hot hosts and instructors have included Tracie Long, Ally Del Rio, Allison Davis, and even Nancy Butts! These workouts by The FIRM still get me sweating to this day! Trust me if you're not firm after watching these Firm ladies do their thing, then you deserve your money (and/or time) back!

4)Darla Haun - Infomercial Superstar

(Wanna see Darla Haun nude?)

Darla, Darla, Darla! This mega-infomercial star has also been a movie star! She's been in as seen on tv gigs for everything from Ab Supreme to Mr. T's food making product to Slim 'N Lift: Jaynie Roberts' True Shape. She's mingled with Mr. T and Greg Brady in infomercials, making her one of the most famous of as seen on television celebs. Darla's perhaps most famous for helping pitch Tony Little's Gazelle fitness machine. You can check out a really old school video from the 90's of Tony hopping on the Gazelle behind Darla to demonstrate, um how it works... You can pick a Tony Little Gazelle up used or new at eBay to start getting yourself in shape while watching Darla do her thing on the infomercials!

5) Nancy Valen - Babewatch to Instyler

(Nancy Valen naked pics please?)

Nancy Valen used to don the hot red one piece Baywatch lifeguard uniform as Samantha Thomas in 13 episodes (1989-1997), and she also put on a nurse uniform to check the temperature of an illness-faking Zach Morris on Saved by the Bell. After growing up and retiring from those gigs Nancy's moved on (According to her IMDB entry she's married and Celebrity Sleuth magazine says she measures at 34-24-35 - Zach really lost out!). Now this hot chiquita helps sell a helpful hair product known as the Instyler.

I've yet to try the inStyler on myself as I'm afraid it would melt my cute plastic self. But apparently you can use it to match Michelle Obama's hairstyle. Anyways, back to Nancy Valen, she has also appeared in infomercials with that Kevin Trudeau guy who I hear has been in some hot water over false claims and info he's put out in his infomercials. Nonetheless, if you catch Nancy on TV you'll see her radiating beauty and hotness without even holding an inStyler hair thingamajig!



There you have it folks, these are the hottest of the hot from those tv ads pitching products you wind up selling or buying at someone's yard sale...I'm sure there's plenty more sexy babes in infomercials or chicks from as seen on TV advertisements.


(Behold the Rosetta Stones)

Honorable mention also goes to the Rosetta Stone babe - Lesley Ann Machado - who makes some brief appearances in ads here or there (check out her Myspace here). You'll also notice I've left off the "Girls Gone Wild" because quite honestly there's just so many of them and they've only achieved 15 seconds of fame each!
