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

  • Coma?.... Nah I've been wide awake.... I guess I expect these kind of pictures from an B actress who needs to change an image or boost their career. In Amanda's case I see someone who doesn't need to rely on cheesy "hooters" tactics. She's an olympic medalist who knows how to photograph well. That in it's self is worth it's weight in gold. Danica Patrick (race car driver) just did a Secret spot and looks so stiff. It's not easy to have a range of looks and be "on" for a camera. It was interesting.... Meryl Streep who recently worked with Lindsay Lohan in A Prairie Home Companion said something to the effect of actresses today are on every magazine cover out there and when she was acting it was about well being a good actress and not getting on every magazine cover out there. O.k. enough procrastination..... Back to work.....
