I am not as knowledgeable or interested in SI as many other people on BZ but I have to admit if not for BZ I probably would know nothing about it; like which models were featured in the mag regularly etc.
I think it was a good idea that this cover features more than one model and I expected Kate wouldn't be on it again.
I always disliked that Kate had too small bikini tops on her cover (I guess I'm in minority to have such complaint, obviously ) so I think it was a good idea the photograph shows models from the back kind of hoped Nina would be on the cover, I'm surprised about Chrissy and Lily. I wouldn't say Chrissy shouldn't be on the cover if only for the fact that she brings some diversity to it, being the non-white person. But I've never got her appeal as a model and to me, she makes strange face expressions most of the time. Also, I immediately noticed she isn't looking straight 'at the reader'? Lily is not looking left or right but her eyes look a bit strange to me, too.
Surprised Emily Ratajkowski isn't on the cover, given her popularity but maybe next year? When the movie she'll be in comes out?
Hmmm... I think that's all for now
