I am a long time lurker but would like to add my thanks for the photos and videos! Wow @ Anne V, Alyssa, Nina, Jessica G., Emily.... and even the athletes this year! I really like Kate, but I think overall I prefer her shoot last year (not the cover though); I just think she looked better last year. She is still beautiful. As much as it pains me to say this, I feel disappointed with Chrissy this year; I have a soft spot for her since I found her and became interested in SI via her food blog. She is a beautiful and exotic looking girl, yet in SI she manages to look boring and homely. She definitely has a few good pics, but I feel like her shoot last year was actually better than this one. NOT bashing her or saying it's her fault necessarily... I like her... I just don't get it. Doesn't seem she has a lot of fans around here anyhow....
