MERPER

I bet she loved wearing a mask during COVID cause she has 2 young children and doing so helped them stay healthy. Ya know, if she's anything like the Person we think/hope she is, that would be the main reason for wearing a mask. She doesn't strike me as being so vain that she thinks people stare at her constantly so wearing a mask would be amazing and prevent that.

saw shannon at a restaurant last night, waited until her and friends were leaving then politely approached and called her name, she ignored at first, then her friend asked who i "thought" it was... I said, "aren't you Shannon McMullen, the Guess model?"... her friend, speaking for Shannon, said no and I said really? I am fairly certain you are... finally Shannon turned around and I complimented her work for Guess and said I think she is one of the most gorgeous women in the world. I politely asked if I could take a photo with her and she declined and implied I was rude for bothering her. I've met many famous models over my years in L.A. from VS angels to SI Swimsuit ladies and the vast majority are very nice and even flattered when approached and complimented, but Shannon ranks very high among the worst experiences I've ever had and it was quite stunning given her career is just starting and her "accomplishments" within the industry really aren't there at this point. Oh well, lesson learned.

it bothers me more than words can accurately convey that kim kardashian can just say "oh i have enough money to do this and include myself along with the most famous lingerie models in the world"... she doesn't belong in the same class as candice, alessandra or other VS angels

She won SI Swimsuit Rookie of the Year (with her best friend Kate Austin)

I really hope given all of Kanye’s awful a and hateful comments about Jewish people and others over the last week or so she has cut ties with him and his brand. He’s toxic and has obvious mental issues. Staying in business with him sends a horrible message at this point.

stop commenting/acting like you know her on a personal level, you don't... she seems a certain way in interviews/through photos and we all believe it and hope she really is that way sure... that's the candice we all love but you're talking like you're a close friend or relative in a comment like this "she's one of the purest souls of the industry"... c'mon man. Again, you don't know her and you don't know other models in the industry.

lol "you do what your superior ask at your work.... it's the same thing" no, in no real professional work setting do you go along with a rumor/lie that you're dating your superior... holy hell man, WTF is wrong with you if kanye insisted she let him kiss her and grope her in public for paparazzi photos in order to fuel the rumor should she let him do that too?

think you and other are looking for too much info. in 1 photo for starters, couples don't need to sit right next to one another 100% of the time second, if the relationship is "really new" as the article says, it's possible when the photo was taken they weren't dating and then they started to afterwards as others mentioned, it is very possible it's just tabloid gossip and I really hope so for her sake, but if it's true her PR people/agency should get out some sort of comments now denying the report, a simple "we are not sure how the rumor began but it is false, Candice and Kanye are just friends and business partners and nothing more" would suffice I imagine but yeah if true it's just horrible, she could have any man she wants and past comments she's made suggest she is looking for someone the exact opposite of everything kanye is

if this is true i will have lost a lot of respect for her going down to kanye's level

Shannon is simply sensational. So beautiful. Total package imho. She strongly resembles actress Ana de armas imho and gives off young Tiffani thiessen vibes

ok if you're going to try and be a smart a$$ and make a negative statement you're going to have to explain it how would a very tiny bikini that covers very little be good for a 16-year-old boy?

no... i kinda hoped the efforts of the zipper would have failed lol...

^thanks, she is phenomenal

obviously they still want to sell issues, they just feel they need to put someone famous on the cover ala playboy to get it to sell, hell there were several times playboy would put a celeb on who didn't even pose for them just to sell issues i think there are still attractive models in the issue just nowhere near how many there used to be and I am unhappy they cut ties with several over the years too soon such as barbara palvin and olivia brower, but there are still attractive women in it and putting one of them on the cover would be fine. I would love to see the sales on the kardashian cover compared to others in recent years.

thank you @albatross she is an outstanding woman i honestly think if they gave her the cover she'd get as famous as kate upton did last time i met her to get the photos above signed i told her she deserved it and i wasn't happy they put kim kardashian on and she laughed, said thank you and then... "they need to put a celeb figure on to sell the magazine"... unfortunate that it has come to this, SI used to make these models' careers skyrocket and turn them famous when they put them on the cover, even if they weren't as well known as others at the time

thanks @VS19 and thanks for video @Harper Bay

Forgot to share these… I’ve met Christen a few times around town and taken photos with her but last time a few weeks ago I was able to get to my car and pull a couple of photos I printed for her and she was nice enough to sign them. She’s the best.

^thanks for finding and sharing those, she's an incredible woman can't wait for video of her walks

Looks like she walked the runway 3-4 times at the SI Swimsuit fashion show in Miami tonight... found this streaming video of the show but the quality is awful, hopefully we get better quality video soon...

i wish there was video of her on the beach thanks for all the recent shares from that and the wedding

I think whenever a woman has an amazing body like hers with so many curves then a video is ALWAYS far superior to the photos themselves because that body in motion is greater than the body in a still photo. I felt the same for all of kate upton's shoots, olivia brower, etc.

^ & ^^ thank you for providing all of that christen looks sensational she deserved the cover, not kim kardashian (truly one of SI's worst choices of all-time)

They’re using her image as one of the three to promote the launch party stuff in Florida this year. I can’t imagine Camille kostek gets the cover again…
