first of all ... they NEED to get new photographers. it's just starting to get VERY tired looking. same shots over and over again. also, they need to get some FASHION MODELS. nothing against these women, a lot of them are very beautiful ... but most have very very limited fashion experience. i'm not trying to be a high-fashion elitist snob or whatever -- BUT, having a broad variety of modeling experience would help them come up with some more creative poses than the same ones over and over again. the whole thing feels redundant to me. not a single model in this issue has the presence or charisma or original beauty of some of the SI greats (Elle, Rebecca, Heidi, Tyra, Petra, etc etc). when fashion models do swimsuit edits, the poses are more creative, more interesting. the vibe is different. look at the H&M campaign, with Daria, Lara, Julia, etc. it's just on a different level.
