Clauds

I can't see them, Kate and Robyn links take me to their 2016 pictures. Hannah and Danielle links are just dead NVM, I found my way

Cover/Kate Upton - I like Kate so yay that she's back, and I'm fine with her getting three different covers, IMO it's way waaay better than the Christie + Serena rumor we heard. And she looks stunning, the one where she holds the jacket may be her best cover ever tbh. You do have to wonder how utterly shitty her career is these days that she agreed to come back to SI. I'm still glad she's back tho, she has always been SI gold and she looks way better modelling than "acting". Not her best year but also not her worst, she has some very good pictures but also some very meh. Hannah F - Yu Tsai needs to be stopped, this is Hannah's worst year. I like maybe five pictures, the rest are trash. Bianca - Brings so much class to the magazine, and she's just a good model, she knows what works for her and her posing is just so good. However the boobs are too weird Bo - NOPE. I won't go into bashing territory, y'all know how much I dislike her. Great body but still cannot be saved. Lais - She is love, she is life, she belongs in SI and it will be 100% bullshit if she doesn't win ROTY. I love every single picture and she has the best body I've ever seen. #Lais2018 Samantha - NOPE NOPE NOPE. Again, I won't go to bashing territory. Just yikes Kelly - Lovely woman, lovely body. She has some really good pictures but some others are odd, probably because I'm not a huge fan of they styled her. Still, lovely shoot and she didn't let me down. Myla - I actually like her, a lot, she's just so fresh and has a good body (except for the way too saggy boobs but that's gravity yo). I hope she comes back, I like her face a lot and her smile is beautiful. I approve Rose - I love it, probably my favorite year of her, so happy she was taken away from Yu Tsai! I adore everything about her shoot. She's probably one of my favorite women this year Ashley - NOPE NOPE NOPE. Will not say anything else Mia - She will forever be ranked as one of the worst SI models for me. Right up there with Kenza Barbara - The real MVP! Every picture is beautiful, her body never looked better and this shoot is just perfect. There's so many pictures that I love. And honestly her face is perfection, it all works out just perfectly in this shoot. Chrissy - I love her personality and body but her face is still very hit or miss with me. She did however get some of the ugliest swimsuits I've seen which doesn't help much Vita - My second favorite roookie, I like her a lot but why so many pictures with the braids? The ones with her hair down are flawless tho. And her smile is just beautiful. She gives me 70's vibes and that's a good thing Hailey - I love her Finland shoot, the beach shoot is good but a bit boring because she's been doing the same locations since her first year so her Finland pictures are better IMO. I do think her body looked better last year tho, but she's still great Nina - I love her so she can't do wrong in my eyes. She has a perfect body, I love her smile and the vibes she gives. However, i strongly hate how she was styled for the most part and goddaamn it she better get a different photographer next year. I dislike Ruven almost as much as I dislike Yu, he just doesn't do her justice. She does have some pictures that I love, but this is for sure not my favorite year of hers. McKenna - I LOVE her, i adore her but the makeup did nothing for her. Still happy she's in this tho, I adore her. Anne - New girl crush. She's flawless and I like every single picture. My bodypaint MVP Lisa Marie - NOPE. Hunter - NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. I repeat: NOPE. Endless yikes Still waiting for Kate B, Danielle, Hannah J and Robyn tho show up. Overall: Less photoshop and more nipples. God bless that.

Well it's 1:30 am here so Imma go to sleep. If I wake up middle of the night I may check stuff, otherwise I'll see tomorrow at the office @ILUVAdrianaLima PM the covers + the missing bodypaint ladies pleaseeee?

Me too. Hair and body match + Kate was at the beach that same day but she is all covered in the picture she posted, I'm sure that's her. Which makes Anne's shoot make even less sense now for me

Kate shot in Anguilla

I legit feel insulted that Mia "won" the Model Search

Psshhhh

Also, am I missing something or did these idiots really go to Finland but didn't bother to do some Northern Lights chasing? o.o

She is now in the Kenza Fourati ranks of worst SI Swimsuit models ever. IMO. It's 100% tragic, there is just no salvation

Mia Kang is such a disaster, I am dying

I'm more interested in knowing if the bodypaint is a model search than on the cover tbh. It would be odd with just four women and in body paint but there is no other explanation as to why they were not included as rookies

Barbara looks so stunning in her shoot tho, her body is to die for. I would love to see her getting the cover at some point

I cannot believe there are three covers again? That's six covers in two years, even worse if you count the cover+back cover from 2014 o.o that's nine different covers in fours years

I'm still not sold on Upton tbh

I'm sorry but Vita is too white to have those braids in every fucking picture

Trying to get the bodypaint chicks atm, we have four right?

Hannah Jeter is not showing in the link either.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm confused as to why the bodypaint didn't count as a rookie shoot, maybe it's MS?

But Kate doesn't seem to be and the rumor was Serena, Kate an Christie? There's hope the whole thing is a lie o.o, unless they are saving Kate's page for last but I doubt they are that smart

Kelly Gale looks fine AF yo but I do think Lais needs to be ROTY

Who the fuckity fuck is Kate dating? o.O

Irina Shayk is gone Emily Didonato is gone Lily Aldridge is gone Chanel Iman is gone Sofia Resing is gone Tanya Mityushina is gone

Kate Bock is backkkk
