Swiminfo.com has released a post saying that Amanda Beard will be on the cover of the July issue for Playboy.
How do you think this will effect her image among the swimming communties? Will any of us purchase this issue because of her?
Well said, Barb.
I'm still in a state of diminished humanity from viewing George's swimsuit spread. Remember the thong-suit from Borat?
Me too!! I've got that suit in my inbox. Quite a sight.
I would wager that both Amanda and her parents are well prepared for any negative publicity. There are way more than "a few" that will disapprove of what she's done. (This is the US, not Europe or Australia.) Thus, I suspect Amanda is prepared to ignore them and that her own peer group and friends may be more tolerant. (I've heard many college kids say that all that matters in college is how you look naked.) Of course, trying to prepare yourself in advance and hearing the-after-the-fact disapproval are different things. Having suffered some sexist BS and "dumb blond" treatment myself, I wouldn't want to be subjected to it.
