Brinkley was ahead of her time...

REMEMBER SHE MODELLED IN THE 70s & 80s

SHE REALLY CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF THE CULTURE OF THE ERA

TRYING TO FIND AN END TO THE COLD WAR AND BRING A NEW SET OF VALUES INTO OUR SOCIETY

WE OWE A LOT OF WHAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED TODAY BECAUSE OF HER

I WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS SAYING SOME OF THEM WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST IF SHE DIDN'T

I'M SORRY BUT ISABELLI IS DAMN HOT AND SHE'S GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES BUT SHE'LL NEVER CAPTURE THE IMAGINATIONS OF A GENERATION THE WAY CHRISTIE DID

THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE CLOSE

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO CHRISTIE BRINKLEY IS, GOOGLE HER BEFORE YOU VOTE

BOLD RED FONT MAKES ME QQ - I'm sorry but regardless of Christy Brinkley's achievements with SI, for me Isabeli better embodies SISwimsit, so rather then make some long observation about Christy and how outstanding she is, just deal with it and move on.

And before you say anything about not knowing who she is. I'm 31 years old. I remember her.. didn't like her then, don't like her now. She's never been a good model to me, she never embodied SISwimsuit the way Diane Smith, Paulina Porizkova, Elle Macpherson, or hell even Angie Everhart did. Sorry

Oh yeah.... I forgot. You don't like explanations.

You don't even like getting facts straight about crediting the right person for what cover.

If Elle MacPherson was so great, why isn't she in this competition?

Not saying she isn't great because I nominated her but if you cared about the outcome of this so much, then why would you let her get cut? Her SI pictures are easier to find than news about Britney's latest life drama. If you don't even care, why the heck are you wasting your time collecting pictures and counting votes anyway?

... and as you said "for me Isabeli..." which isn't really objective if you're telling me basically to shut up and get over it because we have different opinions. I'll welcome any argument you make for Isabeli but if people don't have facts here, or at least some sort of reasoning available on the two, it'll just be a popularity contest... or is that what you want? I don't know.

Anyway, if you want me out of this thread, say the word. I'll waste my time somewhere else,

What is with this phrase "best embodies" lately? A particular model can be embody SISE so much she might as well have it tattooed on her forehead, but it means nothing if she only appears in the mag once or twice, and it certainly doesn't make her the "ultimate" SISE model compared to a model with three covers. As far as it looks to me, this phrase is only the new way to fake voting by the rules.

I think we all know who I'm voting for then.
