Holding somewhat true to their personae from the Games, it's amusing to note the perks coming the way of various gold-medal winners.
Misty May, fresh off her appearance with teammate Kerri Walsh on last night's Letterman show, will be trading her beach bikini for a tutu (or whatever) on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars . Is she up to the Olympian standards set by Kristi Yamaguchi and Apollo Ono? We'll see.
Meanwhile, freckle-faced gymnast Shawn Johnson will lead the "Pledge of Allegiance" tonight for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama at his mega-rally in Mile High Stadium. Johnson then heads off on a 40-city gym-stars tour, where she'll be blogging from the road and selling cute baubles in her online store.
Make hay while the sun shines, ladies.
About Me

- Bill Weber
- Boston, MA
- A longtime media and communications professional, I have worked on daily newspapers, monthly magazines, professional journals, news and b-to-b websites, marketing magazines, and e-newsletters, as well as in marketing and PR.
Currently, I am Director of Alumni Communications at Harvard Business School.
Previously, I was Editor in Chief of CCI Crosby Publishing, a custom-media firm in Allston, MA. I also worked at the Boston Herald, Boston Magazine, Lowell Sun, Teenage Magazine, and NewReview. On the Web, I launched BostonHerald.com and SmallBizResource.com.
On that other side of the media fence, I was marketing and communications director for the Massachusetts Bar Association for several years, where I managed its publications, PR, membership marketing, advertising and promotions, and coordinated its annual conferences.
I'm a three-time Iron Chef finalist (local only, thank you). And in previous lives, I was a rock 'n' roll drummer, funhouse operator, and dishwasher.
