Thanks for the full package of pictures gigiriva!
So, as far as I'm concerned:
The cover : Bar, well it was to be expected. The cover is pretty bad IMO. I guess the fact that she looks like she's taking her bottom off is appealing to men, but I don't like it. And her face ? Well let's just say it's not her best angle.
Anne V : truth be told, I don't get her appeal. Her face does nothing forme and her body is not that great. Her photos are OK, but that's it.
Ariel Meredith : I kinda like some of her pictures, some others are just not good. I don't like the pose with the legs opened. It looks weird.
Bar Rafaeli : Like the body, the face, not so much. IMO the photographer should have asked her to get rid of the navel piercing for the shoot. It looks kinda cheap. And I hate that bikini bottom with a zipper. WTF? Oh, and her breasts look a bit massive in some shots.
Brooklyn Decker : I have to say she has a majority of very good shots. That said, her breast look disproportionate compared to the rest of her body.
Cynthia Dicker : She has a lot of good shots, even though I thinks she looks a bit juvenile in some pictures and I dont really like the freckles.
Damaris Lewis : I don't have much to say, IMO she's not OMG so great, but she delivers
Daniella Sarahbya : Same, a good performance, and a very warm smile. Some shots look a little tacky, like the one on the car.
Esti Ginzburg : How old is she ? 16 ? Anyway, her poses are not great IMO, very generic. As Francy pointed out, stop pulling your bikini bottom girl!
Hilary Rhoda : I like the mirror shots. The rest is also good, not great, but she delivers. She looks a bit like Crystal Renn though.
Irina Shayk : Eew, she looks so tacky. And those Body painting pictures I hate how she pushes her butt towards the camera. Gross. :yuckky:
Jarah Mariano : Good enough. She indeed doesn't have much sex-appeal but it's OK for me. You don't have to be a sex-bomb to sell swimsuits. My favorite shot is the one with the pullover.
Jessica Gomes : Tries too hard. Her poses are awkward almost too "editorial", her body is not so great, and those suits don't really help (the transparent yellow suit is a horror :x )
Jessica Hart : Love her angelic look, it goes perfectly with the suits, but she sould never be allowed to open her mouth, at least for SI!
Jessica White : Good looking but a bit boring. The body painting is just disgusting. And her pose on the bed ? She looks like she's waiting for her boyfriend to... you know ? Otherwise it's good.
Julie Henderson : Not outstanding, not awful, it works for me. She looks and poses a bit too catalogue-y.
Kim Cloutier : I don't really like her face. She looks a bit like the SI version of Shannan Click, who IMO looks better. And the suits are kinda boring too.
Lucia Dvorska : Not sure about the body, but she has a very interesting face, IMO I would have given her the cover. And she delivers well. I didn't know her before but she's a good addition
Melissa Haro : Cheap looking, and her photos are too "sex oriented" IMO.
Tori Praver : She overplays the innocent look. She already has the face, so why also look like she doesn't know what she's doing and having that turtle neck ?
Overall, well I guess it works, after all it's SI. I would have appreciated a bit more diversity in the locations though, but the whole thing works I think.
