Editing Amy Acuff (section)

==Modeling==
Amy Acuff is also known for her career as a model. She was the subject of modeling projects, media stories, and photography relating to her sports career as a track and field athlete. Acuff was even featured on national television commercials. A new challenge was taken in 1999 as she successfully organized the making of the ''2000 Omnilite Millennium Calendar of Champions'', which featured nude/semi-nude photographs of Acuff and 11 other U.S. female track and field stars, with half the proceeds going to the Florence Griffith-Joyner Youth Foundation.<ref>1</ref>

Acuff's cover appearances include:
* ''[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]'', "Women of Summer: Strength & Beauty: A Portfolio of America's 10 Sexiest Athletes"
* [[Men's magazine]]s, such as ''[[Maxim (magazine)|Maxim]]'' and ''[[FHM]]''
* The 2004 Olympics were noted for the large number of female Olympians who posed nude—following in the footsteps of the 2000 [[Australia women's national soccer team|Matildas]] and the Omni calendar. Of the 2004 examples the most visible was Acuff's appearance on the cover and within ''[[Playboy]]'''s "The Women of the Olympics" issue.<ref>{{cite news |title=Posing for magazines: Athlete or sexual plaything? |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/oconnor/2004-08-13-oconnor_x.htm |first=Ian |last=O'Conner |date=August 13, 2004 |newspaper=[[USA Today]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Olympians posing nude, poses questions |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page3/story?page=boswell/040823 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040825114823/http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page3/story?page=boswell/040823 |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 25, 2004 |first=Laura |last=Boswell |date=October 13, 2004 |publisher=[[ESPN]]}}</ref>
