Part of the problem of course is that stuff like SISE doesn't appeal to Zoomers to begin with. And then they made the problem worse by chasing away their pre-existing (older) fanbase. Real genius stuff.

Thanks for the UHQs @Prettyphile I honestly think this is the worst issue I can remember. Though admittedly it's hard to compare how much each recent issue has sucked comparatively.

I know that the African-American community has long claimed Cleopatra but that too is entirely based on junk history. I guess it's because of the cultural cachet of the Egyptian civilization but that is stupid. There were very impressive societies in Central Africa too at the time, so I don't see why there is a need to believe in a faux history that makes Cleopatra black. I guess perhaps it's because of how famous the Ptolemaic Kingdom is?

Thanks to @Prettyphile and everyone else who posted the content on here. Unfortunately the issue itself is straight garbage. I agree that Christen's shoot is by far the best thing in the issue, whilst also conceding that in a good SISE year, that shoot would not have made anyone's top ten. As for the rest of it, I think Padma has an incredible body for a 52-year old woman and she should have made the issue like 20+ years ago instead. The rest is instantly forgettable and/or completely ridiculous. Even some of the other returning girls like Hailey ultimately feel like a huge letdown.

I mean Sienna Guillory and Diane Kruger both played Helen of Troy and I'm pretty sure that if the woman actually existed, she would not have resembled either of those actresses (considering Troy was likely located in what is now the north-western coast of Turkey). Modern day Turkish woman: Sienna as Helen: DIane as Helen "But Helen was actually Greek herself!" Okay, but in terms of type (hair color skin color facial structure) Greek women are very similar to Turkish women.

The discussion about Cleopatra is always so dumb. She likely looked Mediterranean based on her heritage though no one knows for sure what her appearance was like exactly. I think both sides of this discussion are dumb. Both the black community claiming her based on no historical basis and the white community being mad if a non-white actress plays her.

Mella might generate some genuine excitement for the issue. We cannot have that!

Early on you are so bad at that that you basically have to avoid combat with even the most basic enemies. It's definitely a game with a learning curve when you are used to such swordplay games that just drop you straight into the action.

Are those her sisters or cousins in the third picture?

I started this at the time and got pretty deep into the story but never finished it. The combat is definitely challenging.

How active a model is she still? Seems like the last two years at least, updates in this topic have been few and far between.

Whoa, WTF happened to Chrissy? I hadn't seen any pictures of her in ages.
