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......

I wish I could swim like her, go to the olympics, win a lot of medals, AND be gorgeous. Why not?
Massimiliano Rosolino has done some very sexy shots which have been published, and I silently thank the photographer every time I see them...

WOW!:eek:
Amanda has this certain look that she turns on the camera that is sultry and sexy. She can be covered head to toe and turn that look to the camera and too me it is sex. The camera really loves her. Not every model, swimmer, person has that, in fact, I think it is rare. In fact, I don't think she is the prettiest swimmer, but she just has this "look" that obviously sells. So she is selling it.
I wonder if people stuggle with this also because she was the little innocent girl with the teddy bear, and it is like your own daughter, you turn around, and wow she is a young sexy woman, wow, she should not be doing this, because she is that young little girl with the teddy bear.
