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

  • Actually posing for FHM might actually help Amanda. It would definately widen her appeal to the male teen to young adult male demographic. This probably makes her more valuable to a company like red bull which had a similar demographic...... Hmmm...It's all starting to make sense now... Now if only I could find a demographic that would help to pay for my trip to the "Worlds".
