People Are Talking

Nastia to Neutrogena, Please!

nastia liukin.jpgWe’re assuming that, like us, you stayed up to watch the women’s all-around gymnastics face-off, and already know that Texan (via Russia) babe Nastia Liukin took the Gold.

Since she’s the next big female athlete, endorsement-wise, and happens to also be beautiful in an incredibly swanlike kind of way, PLAY: The New York Times Sports Magazine is already wondering whether she’ll go beyond her current commercials, like AT&T, to something more “adult”.

Nastia’s already done some smiling for Cover Girl, but other than that, it’s been pretty non-girly so far. But we’re pretty sure we know the next best thing for her:

Wouldn’t she make the most adorable Neutrogena girl ever? It’s age-appropriate, it fits her target audience, and we could totally see her talking about how it’s the only thing she’ll use, or whatever.

In fact, we think she’s more perfect for it than Taylor.

She'll need a hairpiece. Her forehead rivals Miss Tyra.

I love me some Nastia, for serious. But did you know that to compete in the NCAA an athlete can't take endorsements? I'm not sure whether or not Neutrogena counts, but ... you never know. Granted, since she's almost 19 (and freshman year of college would be starting within weeks) I don't know whether or not she's really even interested in that.

Viva Nastia!

She already started college. She took a leave of absence to train for the Olympics.

ahhh i don't know why you gals love neutrogena. look at the ingredients sometime! they are listed as having the most dangerous chemicals in their sunscreens and have other cancer causing ingredients in almost all of their products. look at www.cosmeticsdatabase.com just to see for yourself.
not to mention, they still test on animals! yuck on neutrogena big time!!!!!!!!

i was watching her doing the floor excersises the other day and was thinking that she'd be a GREAT model. as a gymnast she's obviously very aware of her body and movement, but the big question is whether that would translate in two dimensions.

i'm so glad that nastia won last night! i don't think anyone can match her natural grace and artistry. yeah, i'd prefer her over taylor for neutrogena ads.

one fierce bitch :) but i don't want to see her doing goody-goody neutrogena (and guest #4 has rightfully scared the shit outta me from ever buying from that brand)... i want to see her vaulting in some balenciaga armor-like thing, ready to cut a bitch :)

Why does she have to be called a 'bitch'? She's a great athlete. Enough said.

she has such a wide forehead because shes Russian. trust me one of my best friends is a descendant of Russian royalty and she has almost bigger than a 5-finger forehead. nastia is beautiful, nonetheless.

I was thinking the exact thing about Nastia's potential to model. But Neutrogena?! Taylor Momsen would do better - all the way. A "swan" like Nastia doesn't seem befitting to such fluffy endorsement, like Neutrogena.

...but I loved her pink leotard in the all-around! mad props!

Nastia does have that amazing Russian skin... She reminds me of a much cuter pleasant Snejana Onopka. But she almost seems too "high-end" for Neutrogena. I am sure they could simplify her look into an "all-American" girl if they wanted to.
