Queer Eye For A Geek Guy.
I only just caught this gem from Seth Godin’s Liar’s Blog. I gotta get me some of these genius PR people that rework geeks!
Behold, J Allard of Microsoft Xbox fame, before and after.

Probably very old news, but I couldn’t help myself.

It started doing the rounds just before the XBOX 360 launch…i’ve had the photo and back story sitting in a draft post for ages and kept debating with myself about putting it up.
Apparently the whole story is that his “transformation’ started ages ago…lost a lot of wait, changed his diet..and a number of things (like dress sense). I think it was more the wife than the PR team though..but i’m sure they liked the idae as well. The “Geek on Stun” post, http://www.geekonstun.com/mt/archives/hd_allard_050605.html, has some good responses and the backstory if i remember correctly.
Persoanlly…i think “J” rocks :)
