The Sanfords at a black tie event. If there's anyone who has escaped the scandal surrounding South Carolina governor
Mark Sanford with her reputation intact, it's
Jenny Sanford.
The first lady of South Carolina, who was thrust into the spotlight after her husband disappeared briefly in June and later admitted to an extramarital affair, has appeared in a
Vogue spread, annnounced plans to publish a book, and launched a website in her name. According to South Carolina's
The State, Mrs. Sanford has also applied to trademark her name. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has reportedly not approved the trademark yet, requiring more information about how the trademark will be used.
Apparently Mrs. Sanford intends to sell clothing, mugs, and "other household items" in her name. Expect to hear more about the venture when Sanford sits with ABC News' Barbara Walters on a TV special airing in December.
