Gulbis, of course, is a talented golfer in her own right. She topped $1 million on the LPGA moneylist in 2005 and won her first tournament in 2007, and blah blah blah, she’s also very fetching.
This is the first of what could be two golf-related posts today, but it is the only one that will include Natalie Gulbis. I just thought that should be mentioned.
• DAMN I’M CUTE believes Tara Reid was pleased with Sunday’s outcome, since she supposedly said at a Super Bowl party in Italy:,”F— Tom Brady! I hope the Giants win.”
YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN FREE TO STARE AT NATALIE G.’S A**: Last week we reported that a Richmond, VA., public relations firm had been hired by the hottest woman in sports, Natalie Gulbis, to effectively tear down her sex symbol status.
Dolch recently asked Gulbis about previous statements from a hag at the Gulbis-hired PR firm - who claimed Natalie wanted to throw a burka over the sexiest body in paid athletic endeavor.
Gulbis: “That’s not true at all. I haven’t tried to tweak my image at all. I’ve been proud of everything I’ve come up with.”
More from Dolch: “Gulbis said what happened is a PR person for a Richmond-based branding agency that produces her calendar, Circle C Studios, overstepped her boundaries when she said Gulbis was trying to downplay her sexy image.“Finally a female sports star (who is actually hetero hot) who is comfortable embracing her sexuality, and presents it in a tasteful manner. Natalie, you are officially our hero.
GULBIS HIRES PUBLIC RELATIONS FIRM TO UGLY-HER-UP: The RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH reports that Natalie Gulbis has hired a public relations firm to get us to forget that she has the bangin’-est body in women’s sports. The PR firm Circle S has been charged by the golfer to apparently remake her image from cheesecake calendar model to serious athlete.
Circle S President and Managing Partner Susan Hogg: “With the original stuff, she was in a beautiful bathing suit, tights and things and that certainly got the attention of a lot of people. But we’re trying to scoot it more to who she is and where she wants to take [her career and name].”
(The appropriately-named) Hogg described the company’s work as “a refinement of a truer image of who she is. Sometimes the media can start to control your brand, and we’re trying to take control of the brand.”
Gulbis puts out two bikini calendars and it’s the media starting to “control” her brand? We understand that she’s probably tired of the same-sex harassment at The Dinah, but producing a calendar that belongs behind the counter at Cracker Barrel probably isn’t the best way to go about adjusting her image.What this really sounds like to us is the dried-up, old hags at the LPGA have finally got their mud hooks sunk into Gulbis, and they want to dumb down her sexuality and make her as gender-neutral as ever-loving possible - thus guaranteeing her popularity with the Tour’s miniscule fan base.
