I love the distinct girls, i dont want to see a look i've seen before...i've seen brooklyn, i've seen melissa haro ect. I thought cintia looked awesome same with lucia wow wow wow, ..they have to have like no fat but still look feminine unlike certain girls.^...you sound like the people who boycotted when cheryl tiegs got the cover cause it was to "risque".

February 10, 200917 yr As for the veterans, I found both Tori and Brooklyn a bit disappointing. I expected a bit more from Bar and Irina as well, I preferred their 2008 shoots to their 2009 shoot. The rest didn't really stand out positively or negatively. Overall I do think it's a bit of a disappointing. I'm not sure which, if any shots we'll remember from this issue in five years time...
