Beacon Street Girls and Nastia Liukin, Olympic gold medal gymnast, announced that Liukin will serve as a role model on the company’s new safe social networking site.

The Beacon Street Girls launched a beta version of its website modeled on a junior high earlier this summer. Tweens personalize a virtual locker, safely “friend” the Beacon Street Girls characters and other Club BSG members from around the world. One of the unique aspects of the site is the ability to friend celebrities and real-life role models like Nastia.

Liukin has a locker too, where Club BSG friends leave messages on her whiteboard. Fans also catch up with the gymnast in the Club BSG Gymnastics Team. There they read exclusive interviews with the champion and experienced for themselves the excitement, energy and suspense of Olympic competition. Girls connect with Liukin on a personal level, not just as an Olympian.
