That is true too. That's why I never like the idea of two models sharing a cover. I'm probably influenced by how Tyra had first been less than excited when she was told she got the cover of SI again because she thought yeah, another double-model cover. But in this case (if there are all girls who have had the cover before) I think breaking up the group in different cover options would be something different.

Well hell, they have pushed the envelope before from having a necklace be the only part covering the upper body to dangling the top over the shoulder to having the smallest barely there bikini bottom so why not a nude model strategically covered and a bikini lying next to her

I don't get a difficult vibe from Erin unless it means that she needs many takes and hasn't developed like they hoped.

I agree Jennka! In that case it would be really interesting to find out which cover sold best But if they keep their models out of bikinis then the cover potential goes way down.

Awesome that Tyra and Marisa and everyone else is going to be there! It's going to be epic. Petra needs to be there too! It would be cool to see Petra and Veronika together again. Yeah, Kate is bound to be on the cover because they treat this issue as a special anniversary thing and have gotten all their legendary girls to come back so of course they are going to give them a cover. Can you imagine SI getting all their heavy hitters from the age of 20-60 and give the cover to someone who is relatively a rookie instead?? Saleswise it's a smart idea to put more than one model on the cover because they can count on some people buying the magazine because they recognize their fave dream girl from back in the day etc. They would have been crazy to not have Emily in the issue because she brings some credibility since she has an established high-profile fashion modelling career outside of SI but I don't think she is even near a cover potential yet. I'm going to be disappointed if Alyssa is a no-show but if she has her sights set on something else like acting then so be it. It would have been fun though to see a double-shoot for Alyssa and Nina.

Miranda has played her cards right. I remember seeing People Style Watch at the store and thought to myself that Miranda is bound to be there and sure enough she was no less than 3 times And one of those was a pretty prominent "How to get this look for less". I chekced that magazine a month later and she was there again so it wasn't an anomaly. Rosie too. I wasn't that impressed by Bregje as a spokesmodel but on the other hand she didn't come off as fake and being more of a "serious" Angel could be refreshing.

Lisalla needs to hire someone smart in her corner. It's clear as a day that you need to be BFF with MJ and Darcie to last. With Diane Smith it was probably different because she was much older than the models and there seemed to be more authority but if MJ and Darcie don't wanna hang out with you forget about it. Psst Lisalla, MJ wants girls who are approachable and not off-putting in any way so you gotta play the game right

Here it is guys: MJ and Darcie basically confirm it.

Absolutely only models allowed for body paint! And a location shoot! I of course hope Kate gets to do it for the third time. Her Bahama shoot was great. And I believe she will. The hits those pictures must get... I also root for Genevieve. I think she will be in body paint almost for sure because she is in the issue and during one Google hangout she expressed to the editors that she wants to do body painting.

Wow wasn't expecting that. Especially the view of her under her top. But the pulling of her undies with that toy is kinda cute too

I've had that same thought about her son. As for her daughter, they just need to paint the mole on her, and she's good to go as a mini Cindy. What I really want Cindy to do is donate some of her eggs, LOL. The world needs more of that incredible beauty. I don't think cloning people is a good idea generally, but I'd make an exception in her case!

Yay the pictures are new! The running pants come from Heidi Klum's collection. Kirsch has worked with her for SI and Vogue so I hope something big is in store! And hey at least she looks thinner and younger http://www.newbalance.com//Heidi-Klum/heidi-klum,default,pg.html?ICID=hknb_hknbc_mk_130

If she is wearing Heidi's new line, then they are definitely new

Yes! Like this time around there were no Christmas catalogue lingerie pictures. The only new pictures were of mail order clothing which frankly needs a grand setting and a top model to make it look like something you would bother buying. Often you will see that the most appealing stuff goes to the big names so it’s worrying that now Doutzen doesn’t get those. If Doutzen leaves VS I think she will be fine because there is obviously competition to get her (H&M). I think Barbara is a shoo-in for the show. She got the catalogue cover and maybe would have been invited to Paris (it certainly wasn’t their most exclusive Holiday commercial) if she hadn’t been filming a movie.

Jessica Gomes was a highlight in that video they showed in Vegas but she has had a long great run so if she moves on it’ll be fine. Alyssa is a newer one so I would be disappointed if she isn’t gonna be in the issue. She cut her hair which is a bit odd if she is supposed to do a SI shoot soon. If Cintia won’t be there I hope she’ll be able to do more with VS.

That’s a real shame too because she was the wow moment in the Swim 2011 commercial.

She’ll probably grow out of it. (Just look at where Kate Upton started ) I admit when I first came to this thread I was a bit taken aback by how many selfies there were. I wasn’t sure what to make of it. But now I’m used to all the social media pictures and it’s pretty damn nice to have those at least because there are times when there is hardly any work coming out. But I get where people are coming from. Some of the pictures make it seem that she is not exactly a girl’s girl And her talk about wanting to be the next Lara Croft, sing, model, be a lawyer etc. certainly speak of very high self-esteem ;D but she wouldn’t get anywhere if she didn’t believe in herself. Burberry campaign for her! credit to Michellexo

Wow what a great surprise to see Barbara! Amazing news for her. All the girls want the cover and I imagine especially Christmas, Swim and Valentine’s Day (vol. 1 being the best). I love the white / blue coloured ones. Candice is not taking any prisoners She dominates those first few crucial pages. Lily looks great too and I'm glad Magdalena is there! Gracie continues to confuse me, she looks so much like Emanuela.

I didn’t know that but even before I didn’t think that the 2002 example of Tyra was inexcusable because you could clearly see that it was a release of adrenaline. (I have a problem with the ones that seem desperate or rehearsed.) I just assumed that she had to “let it out” because Victoria’s Secret asked her on the day of the show to dance and she had a salsa teacher there but on the runway she immediately forgot the choreography and just winged it. And according to her the crowd went crazy.

VH/FSR will probably scan it Love it! They just couldn’t resist putting her on yet another SI cover… Although she is often referred to as curvy, Kate has never had the classic hourglass figure associated with most "curvy" women. So you are saying she is only considered curvy because of her boobs? Her body type is more top heavy or even apple shaped so she is going to always have slimmer legs and a smaller rear than an hourglass whose breasts and butt are going to be “equal”.

If Maroon 5 performs again it’ll be the height of tackiness. I hope Adam Levine has enough decorum to realize how embarrassing it would be for him to parade yet another girlfriend on stage. I think that in ANTM they talked about how Tyra got big applause when she was on stage and in fact I remember feeling sorry for whoever had to walk behind her because she would know the applause wasn’t for her. And in hindsight it’s pretty crazy that the girl I was feeling sorry for was Adriana Lima XD but I remember reading somewhere that Adriana wanted the same that Tyra got so the antics she did on stage came from within her and not just because Ed was whispering in her ear. But to Adriana’s credit she came up with the point to the camera on the side move if I remember correctly so let her do it and the other girls should maybe stop because if many do it, it loses the wink wink factor and becomes contrived. But overall do what makes you feel confident on stage. If making kissy faces is not you, don’t force it like Lara Stone.
