We connected our client, Natasha Hastings, for a once in a lifetime opportunity with ESPN for their annual edition of “The Body Issue.”

Natasha Hastings posed nude in the 3rd annual edition of ESPN the Magazine’s “The Body Issue” which is the publication’s annual celebration of the athletic build and form.

Natasha wore nothing but her Nike spikes which she bedazzled herself.

Many blogs such as Bleacher Report, continue to rank Natasha’s photos as one of the issues best… always TOP 5 or better.

When asked what is her favorite body part she told ESPN’s Morty Ain, “I love my six-pack and my arms. I love wearing tank tops and getting compliments on my shoulders. I like that I’m toned, but still look like a woman. I’m fit and I’m healthy. But it’s not like I’m walking down the street flashing my six-pack and saying, ‘Hey, look at me!’ I’m not spending hours on end doing crunches and ab work. Wearing shorts during practice or a bikini at the pool is about the extent of my showing off.”

Give me a second while I gather my thoughts. I’m speechless as this is just coming out! We’re so proud of our client, Natasha Hastings. That’s all I can say.

Interview on ESPNW:

Why pose for the Body Issue?

It wasn’t an easy decision. I was kind of worried, but then I just decided that I liked the story behind this issue: It’s a celebration of athletes’ bodies and all the different shapes and sizes that we athletes come in.

How did the nickname “400 Meter Diva” come about?

In my freshman year of college we went to Penn Relays and our coach asked me to do an interview. The last thing I said was, “The girls on our team just look like divas.” And the next day the story ran as: Gamecock Divas come to Philly. So Coach Frye had outfits made that said “Gamecock Divas” and, naturally, 400 Diva came from there.

I embrace it. I’m a girly girl. I put on eyelashes and a full face of makeup when I go out to a track meet. That’s just me, and I’m having fun with it.

Have you ever felt self-conscious?

I didn’t just wake up feeling this confident. I was teased a lot in junior high school and high school. I started track at 9, and had a runner’s body at an early age. I was stronger than some of the boys in class. Plus, I didn’t have the largest chest, so I got a lot of, “You look like a boy!” It bothered me a little bit, but I never lashed out.

My mom would always tell me I was beautiful. She was a runner, too, and she’d say, “Your body structure is a lot like mine at your age.” I always thought my mom was the most beautiful person in the world.

Then I got to the age where all that stuff — what people thought — didn’t matter. I realized teasing me was just other people expressing their own insecurities.

Client, Natasha Hastings, will appear in the upcoming issue of ESPN The Magazine’s third annual “Body Issue” for 2011. The issue also known as the nude issue is one of the most anticipated issues of the year. Natasha Hastings is an Olympic Gold Medalist and recent gold medal recipient at the 2011 IAAF World Championship.

According to USA Today, gymnast Alicia Sacramone, snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, socceer goalie Hope Solo, the NBA’s Blake Griffin, MLB’s Jose Reyes and the NFL’s Steven Jackson are also among the list of athletes posing nude in the issue which hits newsstands on October 7th.

More than 20 athletes will appear in the buff (with private parts strategically covered) in the “Bodies We Want” section of the 2011 issue, said editor-in-chief Chad Millman. He says the body issue is the mag’s third “exploration and celebration of the athletic form”.

USA TODAY’s Michael McCarthy went one-on-one with Millman. Among the 22 athletes photographed for the “Bodies We Want III,” some like St. Louis Rams running back Jackson volunteered, Millman said. This year’s issue will also turn the tables by sending a naked reporter to interview clothed hockey players in their locker room.

Excerpts from his interview:

What’s different this year?

What’s nice about the ‘Body Issue’ at this point is that people know what it is and they recognize what our goal is. Now we have athletes and their representatives and the leagues coming to us and saying, ‘Can we get so and so in the Body Issue?’ Or ‘Can I get my client in the ‘Body Issue?’ There’s much less convincing that we have to do than what we had to do in Years 1 and 2. Because people understand what we’re trying to do and how we’re trying to highlight sports and athletes and various body types. So for us, the aim for this issue is what it always is which is to celebrate athletes in the condition that they’re in.

Will there be any repeat athletes from the first two ‘Body’ issues?

There are no repeat athletes.

Which athletes will appear on the covers?

We have picked the athletes for the covers. There will be four covers. I’d rather not say who they are yet. Just because we want to reveal those on the day the issue is released to build anticipation. But I have chosen the covers and there will be four of them.

Do you still give athletes control over what pictures are used?

Yes. We let the athletes see the pictures on set. The last thing we want to do is do something, when they’re feeling this vulnerable, that makes them uncomfortable. We have no hesitancy letting them see a shot on set. So they get an indication of what we like and what we’re thinking about. Just so they’re comfortable.

What feature stories will accompany ‘Bodies We Want III’?’

One of the things that’s very interesting to me is how athletes deal with bodies in various forms of injury and rehab. … There’s a couple of bigger name athlete stories, and you could probably guess, about their rehab and procedures that they’re having we had been working on that we’ll probably have in this issue. We also have a story about the metaphor of ‘balls.’ Last year Dave Fleming, one of our senior writers, did a story about how athletes control their bowels in endurance sports. Or any sports really. … This year, Dave is tackling the idea of balls as a metaphor for courage on the field. … We also actually turned the tables on athletes and sent one of our writers to do interviews with the L.A. Kings. In this instance, the writer was naked — and not the athletes. … To give a sense of what perspective is like. And to talk about the locker room ethos of nudity and how it’s different from sport to sport and how the players feel about it and what it’s like for the writer to finally understand what it means to be in that position that the athletes are in. … The writer is Morty Ain. He was a brave man for doing it. … It’s funny, we have a writer who’s done a lot of nudity for us and is not shy about getting naked. We originally wanted him to do the story. He just became the president of his son’s Little League Baseball League. He was like, ‘I just don’t feel, as the president of my son’s Little League League, I can actually go out and be naked any more.’

How do you pick athletes over the course of the year?

Generally, it starts with the editors compiling a list of the people that we’d want to see in the issue. We think about star power, we think about body types and sports diversity. We want to think about a racial mix and a gender mix. Over the year, editors generally keep a list of the people they think would be interesting. That they’d want to see in there. That they think would attract attention and they think would keep readers interested. Its something that, like I said, a lot of times people are reaching out to us at this point. The WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) was interested in getting involved. Steven Jackson was interested in getting involved. … Helio Castroneves happened to be in our office in New York. Sue Hovey said, ‘Hey, would you be interested in being in the ‘Body Issue?’ He said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ We don’t want to make it all about the four major sports. That’s why we try to limit it to one athlete per sport.

Is ‘Body Issue’ competing with Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue?

I don’t see it that way for a variety of reasons. The Swimsuit Issue is a tremendous success and it’s an exciting issue when it comes out. But it’s not about sports and it’s not about athletes. I don’t see it as being competitive with SI at all. It comes out in February and ours comes out at a different time of year. Ours is only about the athletic form. … We’re not about just showing people who are buff and trying to excite the masses.
