Swimsuitologist

My favorite things about this year: Lorena. She picks up where she left off a couple years ago. Happy to see Hailey again. Christen and Cindy are adorable, and I hope they come back a lot. Cindy looks a bit like a blend of Danielle Harrington and Raven Lyn. I think this is Jasmine's best year. My favorite search girl is Ashley. She's so striking.

Lorena Duran is my MVP of this issue. She looks glorious.

[small, scared voice] I think Kim Kardashian looks pretty good.

Holy shit. I wonder how long ago they booked Maye Musk.

I'm bummed not to see Haley Kalil in the mix.

Kathy AND Rachel were pregnant on their 1994 cover, but yes -- "visibly" is the key word. Kathy hid her belly with a well-placed forearm or garment throughout.

Look, I've probably been the biggest apologist for the swimsuit issue in history, but a pregnant model is truly baffling.

I keep searching LinkedIn for "Kelly Gale Bikini Bottom Adjuster," and there's just nothing.

Lorena's back in SI for 2022. That's good news -- she and Hyunjoo Hwang were my favorite rookies from a couple years ago.

Beautiful, thank you. I do love me some Raven Lyn.

Lovely. Thank you for posting.

Happy to see Hailey coming back. I was bummed that we lost Hailey, Lais, and Barbara in one year, and now two of them have returned. The new direction of the magazine isn't my cup of tea, and I guess it's not really meant to be anymore. But I'll still keep visiting if they post girls like Hailey.

I wondered the same thing! How'd you get access to this goldmine?

Especially when the pic is small, it's not hard to read that headline as "The Best Boobs In Modeling."

Damn, is that Hailey Clauson? I want to be invited to that party.
