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......

Gull, I think our girls know this. I know the career counseling they have in our schools starts in junior high, and as far as I know, posing for Men's magazines is not one of the careers they talk about. These days girls as well as boys are prepped for college and have every expectation of getting good educations and good jobs.
Our daughters are smart people. I know the girls I coach on my daughters softball team all have good sense of self, are smart and ready to take on the world. Same with volunteering in the schools for different things. Yes, they are bombarded with somewhat unsavory media at times, but they seem to know how to sort things out. This is a good generation and I really enjoy them.
