I wouldn't want it to be ALL of them on a spread cover but I just want it to be something new, something exciting and innovative. I'm with others about it being all about boobs lately. Boobs do not make a model the most sexy, not by a long shot. There is nothing left to the imagination with cheesecake-type pictures. The idea that it has to be a girl with big boobs and the accent on them is really a very immature attitude, IMHO. I find the covers from the past that have been so darn good have been the ones that have had the girls in a hot suit, not baring it all...just really, really ROCKIN' the suit. Again, leave something to the imagination. I just want to get back to a semblance of class, not cheesy stuff. I'm sooooooo over that and I think tons of the polls on here show that many others are sick :yuckky: of the shots/girls who only have that to give, who can't do anything else except put the sex shots to the front of the line. It's soooo boring and sooooo yesterday. Also, I get tired of people saying that HF girls shouldn't be in the mag. Why not? Because their fave can't get jobs in HF? hmmmmmmm

To sum up, let's have something new, while getting back to the type of years past.

i always thought they had awesome covers for the most part...i loved heidi's cover it's amazing, varekova was hot, elle in the black one piece, christy brinkley...and miss TYRA's cover...and even though i'm not a big fan of C murphy i loved the picture of her and daniela pestova's was sexy.

It's funny that you talk of lack of class when you yourself are willing to stoop to such insinuations. Yes, we know you want Tori Praver on the cover. There's no need to disparage the kind of models the public wants to see in order to try to validate your opinion.

mbinebri, did you get the link for the movie place?

Well, how interesting that you would say I was insinuating anything. I wasn't. I was stating matter of factly my opinion......no insinuation intended. I get to give my opinion the same as everyone else, don't I? And, would I like it if Tori got the cover? You betcha. BUT, here's a diff between you and me....I have stated over and over again that I'd be pleased with a whole lot of the girls. I post great comments about lots of girls. I don't pretend that Tori is the Queen of all Models because there are so many girls who bring different things to the table. Also, read my post again, please. I was stating my opinion of what kind of cover I would like to see, much like the ones that Strawberry Big Mac was talking about, too. I also agree with Pinky when she stated an idea that seemed to be new and innovative. I was talking about the art of the cover and the presentation. As a matter of fact, I was looking today at all the old covers and IMHO, Veronika's struck me as being really great, so was Heidi's and on and on.

It's lovely that you know, absolutely and without a doubt, who the public wants to see. It's also lovely to take into consideration ALL polls, not just the ones that have your desired result. I guess the others who have posted opposite opinions are "classless" just like me. Apparently, there are double standards here about who can and who can not give their opinions.

I guess that gives you the right to say that the models are all "second tier". Do you think that was a really nice thing to say? Really? Nope, it wasn't but apparently you are entitled to say that and I'm not entitled to give my opinion.........even though it was not saying something bad about a model, it was talking about the cover. My appreciation for great editorials takes me not only to the body and includes the styling, the posing, the ability to show many different looks, etc. But to call someone "second tier"? IMHO, that was tacky. A LOT of these girls do it all!..every type of modeling. A lot may be new to the magazine but they are NOT new to some really, really amazing modeling! But, it really doesn't matter to me because I know EXACTLY what I was talking about in regards to in my post.

So, thank you for your comments, 'cuz you are entitled to them, about me and my post. Have a great day! and :Flower: back atcha!

Well yeah, they may not be the top names some may associate with the issue, but I agree, not second tier. I see potential there .

...Cintia's great, her hair bright red flame

Irina's smokin' and has a really long name

Bar from far East, Tori the far West

Is Jarah the Hawaiian you love best?

Ariel M is so cute with a tender sweet smile,

Damaris' cheekbones like the queen of the Nile

Jessica Gomes, Haro and Jessica White too,

I like Daniella Sarahybra, now how bout' you?

Esti says "I look young, but please don't hate"

Lucia seems like Vlada with an hourglass shape

Annie V seems to be the veteran of the bunch

I'll learn the rest later, I've just got a hunch...

:guitar:

what a great tune! I love it! Thanx! All the things you said are true, too. It should be a good mag

^ I agree with what sweetandlow was saying about there being too much sex in SI recently.

Like I commented on the other page, it's the swimsuit issue. I think Marisa Miller's cover was fantastic, but she was wearing some very small briefs and that was it... wasn't really swimwear ( although I was so pleased she got the cover!)

In the new video's, you can see so many girls wearing " sand bikini's" etc. and IMO that's ridiculous. It makes you feel like SI is trying to compete with FHM and failing miserably. They should just be SI. SI is a big deal!!

If you watch the " making of" videos from the eighties with Julie Campbell ( is she still around at the issue??) she is constantly telling the girls to bring it back if they're doing too overtly sexy poses and I remember in one particular video Kathy Ireland saying what she had learned at SI was not to be too sexy, but that it was " all in the eyes."

They should get back to that attitude, IMO, if not with this new issue then with SI 2010. It was WAY sexier.

...yah tell that to cheryl tiegs who wore the see through one piece in 83'

Good Lord, sweetandlow, you deny that you were making insinuations and then proceed to make more of them. How sad.

Wow, I didn't expect Damaris to be there, but I'm happy to see she is still working :|

And I'm very surprised to see Hilary. She wasn't at f/w 2008/09 and s/s 2009 fashion show seasons, and now she's in SI

So, from what I read here and online, Brooklyn, Bar and Irena seem to be the favorites at this point.

I don't know, I like Brooklyn, but wouldn't the fact that she's a similar type of girl to Marisa (the blonde surfer babe thingy ) actually hurt her chances of getting the cover this year?

^ I don't think Brooklyn and Marisa are really that similar at all. But she seemed cool hosting last year's behind-the-scenes special, and she has the sporty-yet-voluptuous thing going, so she would make a good covermodel.

^ I don't think Brooklyn and Marisa are really that similar at all. But she seemed cool hosting last year's behind-the-scenes special, and she has the sporty-yet-voluptuous thing going, so she would make a good covermodel.

It depends on how you look at it. I think within the current crop of SISE models, Brooklyn is probably closest to MM in terms of looks and body type. If we widen the scope, then I'd agree with you.

^ Good points.

I'm hoping Daniella Sarahyba is in the running for the cover though. She seems fun, looks great this year, and SI hasn't had a Brazilian covermodel yet. She's paid her dues by now too.

...yah tell that to cheryl tiegs who wore the see through one piece in 83'

Yeah, but at least she was wearing a swimsuit!!

And she might have had a wet see-through swimmie on, but she was smiling and still looked somewhat non-threatening. If she had been fashioning a pouty sexy face, it would have been WAY different. Not iconic.

I agree with, mbinebri, I like Daniella. She has a playful energy and a real SI Christie Brinkley type of smile!

I also really like the idea of Julie Henderson's location in the pottery barn, spinning the pots. Not for a cover, but the pictures from that should be cool if she models well! I laughed at her comment, " I've never been inside a real pottery barn. I've been to the one in New York, but that's it!"

You know, it actually is fitting that this is a Sports Illustrated issue. Replace "Tori" and "Bar" with say, Colts and Patriots, and it's just like a sports debate.

Here's the thing, no one is actually right.

FWIW, I'd expect Bar, but your average SI subscriber or random guy buying it off the newsstand has no idea who any of these models are.

i think bar or irina would move the most copies. ...besides bar is clearly the hottest. Her body is insane and she has the face of a 16 year old....i love it.

"You know, it actually is fitting that this is a Sports Illustrated issue. Replace "Tori" and "Bar" with say, Colts and Patriots, and it's just like a sports debate."...i dont even know what thats supposed to mean. Is that like some type of sports reference? lol

julie Henderson's face

^ Well said, and really, the girl who gets the cover should simply be the girl who takes the best photo! The girl who takes the shot that will make the cover amazing, regardless of who she is.

Also, your avatar is gorgeous!

Replace Colts and Patriots with Arsenal and Man Utd. Or Nadal and Federer. It's all the same. Fans have their allegiances to teams or people that they have no genuine personal connection to, but attach their ego to them regardless. I do it, everyone does it. My point was it's the same for people at Bellazon with their favorite models as it is for Sports Illustrated readers and their favorite teams. Discussing Bar Rafaeli and Leo DiCaprio's relationship or the relative prestige of various models is no different from talking about whether or not Alex Rodriguez used steroids and which team is better. The attachment is almost entirely one-way (unless you're friends with the model or players on a sports team) and not entirely rational - which is why these kinds of arguments are fun, because there can be no real "winner."

In sports, the contest has to be decided on the field. And whoever gets the cover of SISE will get the cover without having anything to do with a single word said on this board or FMT or anywhere else.
