Amanda Beard - A Girl of FHM - Sell Out?

I was wondering what people thought about the pictures that Amanda Beard posed for in FHM. I was talking to a friend a couple of years ago and she was telling me that she thought that Amanda had "sold out". At that time I was only aware that she was modeling for speedo and other sports related products. I went into 7-11 this week and there she was on the cover of FHM and in my mind that definatly crossed the "sold out" line. It doesn't change the fact that she's a great athlete but I don't think I take her seriously anymore. What would you think if Gary Hall Jr. posed in a magazine like that in those poses? Would you be able to take him seriously or look at him the same way? "She has signed a $1 million contract to advertise Speedo’s Axcelerate line. Throw in endorsement deals with Oroweat Bread, Red Bull and Penta water, and a signature line of fragrance products, and Amanda can earn up to $100 million by 2010." - FHM I just don't understand with all the money that she's raking in already, why there was a need to pose..... How about Vogue Amanda? That's sexy! Whatever...... Amanda pics

  • Hmmm, the Speedo pictures of Amanda in Splash are selling more than swimsuits, that is for sure. Yes I am entitled to my opinion, and if you did not want to see other opinions, don't post a poll. I have never heard of FHM before, but there are a lot of models, actresses and such that do pose for Playboy or have in the past. If Amanda had been a better than average swimmer, but not a superstar swimmer who is in the limelight, but still looked the way she does and decided to go into modeling because of her looks, and has done the pictures she has done, no one would bat an eye. She would be just another model making a living. In fact there might be a discussion when this model was seen in magazines and such that she is a swimmer, just like the threads of, did you know so and so was a swimmer(insert celebrity or politician).
