Tex Hollywood - June 2, 2025

Livvy Dunne, the recently graduated and retired LSU gymnast who is likely going to marry her college sweetheart Paul Skenes, an MLB phenom.

People like to hate on her for being a viral sensation, but it's not really her fault that she grasps how easy it is for some women to go viral on social media by manipulating the audience and maximizing that toxic male gaze.

You have to remember that millions of women on the international scale try to be as appealing in their content as Livvy and they don't have nearly as much succes.

Whether it's selling exclusive content, pushing brand deals or just being a solid WAG, the girl has it all figured out.

She's rich and she's ready for the next chapter in being a famous from social media athlete.

One of her projects is working with Sports Illustrated who are clearly trying to appeal to Gen Z by giving some of their heroes that stamp of approval from the 90s.

It's nostalgia and what the models who get picked to be used by the publication claim are their dreams coming true.

Whether Livvy actually had childhood dreams of being a bikini model for a bunch of middle of the road, lower middle class creeps into sports is fact or fiction, she's owning her title of SI Covergirl.

SI had a live event, where the models actually runway modelled and Livvy decided to make a tribute to her Bikini-Gymnastics that helped her launch during covid, with an on-stage split in a bikini.

It has gone viral, because Livvy understands viral, she's a marketing whiz, if you think figuring out that bikini clad "splits" is cracking the code. We're sure any perv out there could have tipped off the high paid social media marketing consultants out there.
