SympathysSilhouette

They are both beautiful, but Amber just edges it for me.

My issue with the cover is not the bikini, but the fact that it is clearly one of the weakest shots of the shoot. How can they not see that?

They should make me editor in chief for SISI 2013. Three things are all but guaranteed: It would become the most popular issue ever I would lose my job the day after its publication I might go to jail

I want dozens of HQs of her in that blue dress! :|

I wanna do bad things to her...

I doubt it'll be Kate for the cover next year. When was the last repeat cover model? Since they have opened the door to sophomores for the cover honor, perhaps Nina next year?

When did Bar and Nadal become friends? She tweeted about him during the Aussie Open as well...

I never understood the idea that Anne V had earned the cover because she had been in the issue 8 times. Perhaps it tells its own story if you are in it that much but you never get the "highest" honor? Not that I'm saying she is a bad model for them.

Jessica Perez is winning again, what a surprise. <_< I guess she contacted the same lamers who fixed the model competition for her last year.

Overall I do like this year's edition better than last years. We've gone from a 5 to a 6 or a 6.5.

Improved your post.

Can I also add to my earlier points that I do not understand Julie Henderson's continued inclusion... When has she ever done a memorable edition? Has anyone ever uttered the words "Have you seen Julie Henderson in this years SI Swimsuit issue?"

Based on what I have seen already, some thoughts: Kate's shoot was alright (not great), but I still think they made a mistake on the shot they chose for the cover (this is my favorite Kate picture of this year). Besides her great body, Kate's main asset is her obvious playfulness and it really shines in that shot. I didn't mind seeing Bar coupled with a few athletes in a studio, but was it really too much to ask to shoot the fourth set on location as opposed to in a studio as well? I'm sorry, but I'm still fuming that Jessica Perez got the slot that should have gone to Catrinel. Are you telling me you believe it was for the best? Competition or no competition, they really dropped the ball on that one. Nina is my favorite rookie even though I expected a little more from her shoot as well. Lets say they fulfilled 80% of my expectations with her. Poor year by Irina's standards. It's like they didn't even try a year after she got the cover... Genevieve: different year, same problem. She has one of the best bodies in the entire issue, but she just doesn't shine in her shots. She is merely "present" in them. A shame. Michelle Vawer is a very cute girl. But in 75% of the shots she looks like a teen who stumbled upon the set and the photographer asked if she wanted to give it a go as well.

Haha, this stuff is impossible to keep a secret in the age of Twitter. If that cover is indeed legit I am happy Kate got it but I'm a bit disappointed at the shot they used. It's certainly one of the poorer covers in recent editions. So right girl, wrong shot.

Miller confirmed her Letterman appearance on her twitter. Is there a chance we'll get a multi-girl cover?

Does that look like Rafa Nadal to anyone else?

Her body is insane!

I saw "Tower Heist". And her little cameo in that. Actually, it's so tiny you can barely call it a cameo. I thought she'd at least have a couple of lines.

Thank you.

Does anyone know her?

Thanks eddi!

I'd really like an HQ version of this shot:

Does anyone know how to get the HQ versions off the Venus site? Whenever I try to grab the HQs, it seems as if they are broken up into multiple pieces.

Her ass in that second shot!

Love it! But wouldn't mind seeing what you can do with the Rum Diary pictures.
