^ I know! Hopefully she has a wardrobe malfunction on the runway.

Thanks, Pink!

:evil:

^ YES! But as far as my own eyes are concerned, her nose looks no different back in the Perfect 10 days than it does now. Here's a VS pic of her in profile (not sure how recent) and it looks the same to me! P.S. Don't become one of those "I suspect it, so it must be true" people, SS!

You do not need more pics! Marisa has spoken! :persuazn:

From FMT:

I see your points, Tooboku, but I have rebuttals (as always). Look at Murphy as an example: she was a nobody before getting the cover and, as far as I'm concerned, is still a nobody. Personally, I don't have the faintest clue what else she's done. So it seems to me, getting the cover isn't the star-making moment it once was, and the last two SISE covers seem to have been the death knell proving that. I mean, if you put Beyonce on the cover, clearly this is no longer about new faces and making stars. And the idea that popularity among those fashion-inclined doesn't translate to mainstream success is exactly my point. Bar hasn't acheived U.S. mainstream success and neither has ABB. As for Marisa... let me put it this way: this is the Sports Illustrated Simsuit edition we're talking about, and when "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" did a public-vote-based competition to find the hottest woman out there, Marisa beat out Gisele, Adriana, Eva Longoria, etc. to be #1. She's an American model that sports fans love. If that's not overwhelming proof the cover should go to Marisa, I don't know what is.

From a business standpoint, I don't see why Bar would get the cover. Because she's dating Leo? Well, that's not really getting U.S. media attention for SI to factor it in, by my guess. And as swimsuit appearances go, she's a novice, although I liked her photos last year. I think the situation is sort of the same for ABB: SI is a U.S. company and ABB's general popularity in the U.S. is miniscule, despite VS and 5 or 6 appearances in the SI swimsuit edition, so her on the cover probably wouldn't boost sales in the same way Bar being on the cover wouldn't either.

Marisa Miller But I'm too lazy to crop a pic of someone's boobs and post it.
