[ # ] From the Swimming Pool to the Front Cover of PlayBoy
June 20th, 2007 under Business

Amanda Beard, 7 time Olympic Medalist Swimmer, decided to bare all on the Cover of PlayBoy. This is one of her first steps to brand her name before her last (possibly) Olympic next year in Beijing 2008. Posing for PlayBoy may hurt her name in the swimming pool (created a huge controversy), but as  an entrepreneur’s point of view, she maybe made the right move. Right now she is trying to license her name and image herself to variety of products while she still have the fame. And from the publicity she is receiving from the July Playboy’s issue, she might be on the right track.

So when we see  her compete in Beijing Olympics 2008, we will not see her as naked beautiful woman on the front cover of Playboy, we will see her as entrepreneur trying to build her own empire from her dying fame and hot body that she has(and we all know sex does sell). Can she really do it? I think it will all depends how she does next year in Beijing. If she is going to choke,  she can say goodbye to the empire she’s trying to build.

HI,

Nice blog and it’s great to see you post things about interesting topics/articles (my first time viewing it today). Did meet an Ouch in college, who was also a good/cool guy to be with. Your take on it is very creative.
