This will not be welcome news to the legions of gentlemen who’ve coveted the provocative Natalie Gulbis calendars of the past several years, nor to those who carefully craft slide shows of Natalie bikini shots. You see, the idea behind this rebranding is to take control of an image that has become more about sexiness and glamour and less about sportiness and golf.
A Richmond VA branding agency, Circle S Studio, is working with Gulbis’ sports-marketing firm, Octagon, to reposition the gifted golfer, and the shift would turn the perception of Natalie Gulbis as “swimsuit-model-for-men” to that of “role-model-for women”. The repositioning is already evident in the her 2008 calendar and day planner which, as was reported earlier this month, is far less revealing and far more golf oriented than in past years.
Arthritis is a general term that refers to a group of conditions that affect the health and functioning of bone joints in the body. It is estimated that one in three Americans suffer from arthritis of some form. Arthritis affects nearly twice as many women as men.

This story was actually in yesterday’s print editions of the Baltimore Sun, but reporter Stefan Lovelace has a nice interview with 16-year-old amateur boxing champion Nick Kisner.
