So Who Is The New Godaddy .Co Girl? Our Pick: ABC’s Modern Family Star Sofia Vergara

2011 January 11
by Michael H. Berkens

Now that Godaddy has announced there will be a .Co Godaddy girl, who will appear in its SuperBowl Commercial, the question becomes who is the girl?

The easy guess would be Shakira since not only is she one of the biggest stars in the world but she is Colombia’s most famous export.

I asked Lori Ann Ward of the .Co registry to give me a hint as to whom the .Co Godaddy girl is and she declined saying “I cannot tell under threat of torture”

So I reviewed the press release for any clues and focused in on the words of Bob Parsons:

“We are going to out-Go Daddy ourselves with this one,” Parsons declared. “Who is she? I can tell you our new Go Daddy dotCO Girl is a big name – she’s iconic, she’s edgy, she’s off the hook funny and as long as I don’t talk too much, I think most everyone will be absolutely shocked!”

While Shakira is many things,  I wouldn’t describe her as being “off the hook funny”.

That clue leads me to Sofia Vergara the star of ABC’s Modern Family.

Not only beautiful and “off the hook funny”, but Sofia is from Colombia.

That’s my pick who do you got?

    Whatever happened to Marina Orlova (www.hotforwords.com) as
    a Go Daddy girl?
    http://www.adrants.com/2009/08/marina-orlova-added-to-stable-of-godaddy.php
    They’ve never used her on the GoDaddy.com site. Those very nice
    body parts in those photos sure look like hers. And, she’s pretty
    campy in her videos. Plus, I think she’s pretty damn hot and would
    just like to see more of her in general.

    MHB points out that Pam Anderson is already working for another registrar. So, new guess, Carmen Electra. Think I’ve seen her as a blonde recently.

    Hi,

    MGB… I like your pick she is beautiful, but at the age of 39…. the “iconic” & “absolutely shocked”…may not qualify her. But I have no problem at ALL if it is her, that is for sure.

    “Who is she? I can tell you our new Go Daddy dotCO Girl is a big name – she’s iconic, she’s edgy, she’s off the hook funny and as long as I don’t talk too much, I think most everyone will be absolutely shocked!”

    I made a seemlier post and made the first “Guess’…..given “Bobs” clues in the “quote” above”, and knowing the person will most likely have “two other assets” prized by the superficial male….. I went out on a big~big limb and came up with:

    “Raquel Welch”

    Recent Photo(s): This past October

    Best,
    Dan

    BTW: I know she is 70….unreal by the way she looks

    I thought about it and I thought about it and something just popped into my head.
    Ice-Ts wife
    CoCo as the .CO girl.
    I mean she has some huge… ahhhh….. potential lets say!

    I think it would be funny!

    Cheers

    @Slate. That would make perfect sense. Good guess.

  6. 2011 January 14

    @Slate,

    Look at the second image I posted in my first comment…. no way is that CoCo’s ass :)

  7. 2011 January 14

    I dont know… images can always be retouched to make them look better. I think we need a side by side photos set up.

    I thought I heard that it would be a blond… I am to stick with
    CoCo for .Co LOL

    Cheers

    What is the story behind the coXYZ.co? Why does putting the CO on the front end make sense?

    I understand it allows you to get a better word, but why no just use “c” or “i” or a single letter?

    Will these domains only be valuable to people in Colorado?

    Just curious. Thanks!

    Sorry wrong thread. (Post above)

  10. 2011 January 14

    Is CoCo really “iconic”? LOL

    @Tom,

    the coXYZ.co domains will likely score well with search engines and I suppose it could be argued that they “look” good from a branding standpoint.

    I don’t have any, but I may look into it.

  12. 2011 January 14

    No she is not “iconic” but there are points of her that are fun to look at.
    I figured the named fit…LOL

    Just a fun guess.
    Cheers

    gotta be Betty White…. tell me this doesn’t fit – “a big name — she’s iconic, she’s edgy, she’s off-the-hook funny, and … I think most everyone will be absolutely shocked!”

  14. 2011 January 19

    Hi Dave,

    I have the same type thread going… I picked: “Raquel Welch”.

    But the more I thought of it…I (cheated a bit) and made a “backup pick” and it was:

    ” Betty White”….

    I like your thought process….

    Peace,
    Dan

    I guessed Betty White already (3rd comment in this thread). But, according to an article in USA Today, which had a “teaser pic” of the lady’s legs:

    http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/01/go-daddy-reveals-part-of-its-new-star-spokeswoman-/1

    Bob Parsons said it’s not Betty White. Hmmm.

    George

    When you picked Betty White my first though was to ask you:

    “exactly how old are you”

    but now that I see the pic of the legs I no longer think its the gorgeous Sofia (my pick) (although if you saw her at the Golden Globes you would agree she was the right pick).

    My new pick is Eva Longoria

    lol Mike. I picked Betty White because she matched the description, which highlighted the “shock” factor (and didn’t highlight beauty). Also, she was in a very popular Superbowl ad last year (the Snickers ‘Game’ ad). She’s also blonde, iconic, funny and an actress, as per the requirements.

  18. 2011 January 19

    As a few others mentioned before, I think it will be Olivia Munn. The Maxim cover supports the pick. She’s funny too.

  19. 2011 January 20

    Just saw this about the .co girl on cointernet.co

    ” So here’s what we know… We know “she got legs” — and we know she’s “iconic,” “edgy” and “off the hook” funny. Oh and rumor has it, she can do things with domains that would simply blow mens minds.

    Welcome New .CO Girl ”

    Which when combined with O.co

    made me think of “If things go well I might be showing her my O-face”

    jenny mccarthy would be the logical answer.

  21. 2011 January 25

    Looks like there’s some “news” on the matter…

    Joe

    Yes I got the pics as well from Godaddy

    So far all my 3 picks seem not to be correct.

    I’m waiting for the next “teaser” shot maybe next week and then publish all three for more predictions.

    or better predictions

    I think it is Lisa Renna who is iconic, funny, has short hair, and can be edgy!!! What you think all??

  29. 2011 February 2

    It could also be Fergie.
