I was wondering that SI was giving minimal damns, or being uncharacteristically forward-looking, that they would have photos where half of Nina's areola is visible. LOL turns out they oopsied and re-uploaded them airbrushed out. Great editorial team: they had these for literally months and nobody asked "are these too much?" Warning: umm even less nudity than what fisker47 uploaded

I think the Katherine Webb pics haven't been posted? (There's a blog entry on the Daily site on her but not on the main site. Maybe they couldn't fit in her layout at the last minute) These are the web images consistent with the rest of the pictures on si.com

Did those models do appearances like Letterman though? I mean, if it was just doing some media events with something like E! or whatever interviewing then nobody really cares about the fluency, but it gets a lot more anecdotal on an interview on a talk show. Guests on those are expected to talk more than just their work, and have small talk about things of a more personal nature. Brooklyn talked about how she met Andy Roddick (his people called her people) and how she doesn't know how to play tennis. Too much of an accent or lack of fluency and the whole thing looks forced and scripted. Don't forget this is first and foremost a sports magazine and the overwhelming majority of the audience is the SI subscriber base, so advertisers are going to prefer models that can maintain reader(?) interest as much as possible. Marisa and Brooklyn, obviously, have that type of "all-American" appeal (and, to a lesser extent, Bar can mimic it in a way that, say, Daniella or ABB, cannot).

I can't find it on the PS Store on my PS3. Either my PS3 still hasn't updated its store catalogue or this isn't available in Canada (I can't even find a channel for downloading any TV shows, so it's likely blocked in Canada). In any case, serious weak sauce. UPDATE: tried creating a USA PSN account. Still can't find it in the store. BLAH. SECOND UPDATE: yah I think the store is region locked. Logging in with the USA PSN account, I still can't find the video store button on the panels on the left but waiting for it shows an ad for the video store in the middle, but going deeper inevitable ends with "No content" or "This content cannot be accessed on this account." (or something to that effect). So I think I must've registered the PS3 as under Canada when I first booted it or it recognizes the IP address.

Yah the screenshots look better. I was expecting like a pot belly or something when frenchkiki was comparing the screenshot to the scans but Brooklyn looks way more like a real, attractive woman there. You can clearly see some well-defined musclature but it's not that excessive Marisa I-have-zero-body-fat-but-still-have-jugs-the-size-of-Jupiter level. Let's not forget that even video is put through filters that enhance the appearance but it's a lot less individually tweaked so it's still more representative of reality. I just realized what this looks like: a swimwear catalog. And that REALLY depresses me.

Re. general thoughts on the issue: the thing I was thinking about this morning was "I miss Petra." Also, Dominique and Genevieve are usually really hot in the SASI swimsuit issues and this is really disappointing (though whatever Dominique's doing to her lips was already apparent in the last SASI). Heck, just generally the SASI swimsuit issues look hotter, and this is just from looking at low-res pics because I don't live anywhere near South Africa. Maybe they should just hire those guys to do the next issue, since SASI is now officially the SI publication there. (After seeing above post): I'm sorry, but how hard is it to get all the models to go to one beach (any beach) and take a group shot instead of this half-arsed Photoshopping?! <_< Finally, miscellaneous random junk that should interest no one unless they have some sort of compulsion to collect all the pics....what are you all staring at me for? Front images for the gallery pages. Sometimes these are higher-res or close-ups of the smaller published pics, though I didn't check for this year. B&W model self-shots. May contain non-fashion-model content. I also skipped the M&M pic. Oh almost forgot ('cuz she's not really a fashion model (anymore?) but I noticed some of the pics were posted): Ashley Greene Not gonna bother posting the other non-fashion-model stuff.
