Better known as that wacky sex bomb of 70's fame, CHARO (cuchi cuchi!)

Why am I dusting Charo off and putting her front and center in today's blog? Because someone else beat me to dusting her off and putting her in a Geico commercial.

Yes. I said Geico.

"What does a wacky 70's sex bomb have to do with auto insurance?" you may well ask. The answer to that is "I don't know." Despite having watched the commercial with great zeal, I fail to see any correlation between Charo and Geico. But I am thrilled that she's getting work, and I was also thrilled that that damn gecko was nowhere to be seen. So I'm all for the marriage.

Just to keep it mixed up and give other has-beens a chance to be on TV again, I saw another version this morning featuring LITTLE RICHARD.

Personally, I enjoyed Charo more, but as long as that reptile is off-camera, I'm a happy camper.

I can't wait to see who they come up with next.

Let the good auto insurance times roll!
