"Gal" Friday! Carly Foulkes

Carly Foulkes has been described as a "picture-perfect brunette", a statement with which I find absolutely no fault. An up and coming ad icon, Foulkes has recently been the new "face" of T-Mobile in a popular series of 2010 and 2011 myTouch 4G television commercials, in which she wears a pink and white dress. The native Canadian was recently cast as "Retro Girl" for an upcoming TV pilot based on the comic book series Powers, by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming.

The series follows the lives of two homicide detectives assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, who are referred to colloquially as "powers". Foulkes is set to play the first victim that is investigated by the detectives, so her appearance will be short and sweet. Hopefully this will lead to additional work for the budding actress who just celebrated her 22nd birthday.

Foulkes is very engaging in her T-Mobile commercials, primarily due to a high degree of femininity, and that smoking slender frame. She's been in my radar for quite a while now and I'm really pleased to add her to the Catacombs archives as this weeks official "gal" Friday selection. Yummy!
