^ Like wearing pants on the beach. I see what you mean

I really like this shoot. I agree it's not typical Maxim material, but it's still sexy imo, and it's very Lily. I love the shot with the jeans.

Thanks Laura. The ed is fairly vanilla, in comparison to Candice's especially. Perhaps reflects different approaches to what they'd be willing to do. Judging just this set and Lily generally, there's probably no surprise that I like her little tuchus. In fairness, comparing anyone's to Candice's* is entirely unfair. (*exceptions for me would be Elsa's or Doutzen's, but with Candice's, that's the trinity right there.) Lily is Lily, and that's pretty special all on its own.  Will look forward to outtakes and add-ons. 

 

You pretty much hit the nail right on the head.  Comparing Lily to Candice (or any other model) is pointless and in err.  If you juxtapose their careers (pics) side-by-side you would see two completely different approaches to modeling.  This shoot for Maxim embodies everything we’ve seen from Lily throughout her career: class, taste, and conservatism.  I kind of understand those who want more sexiness (skin) due to the fact that it’s Maxim, but it is Lily.  I can’t even remember her ever being nude in any pics.

For Russell's Angels book plus Si two years ago. She wasn't technically fully nude in SI (if I remember correctly) but she was pulling away her panties so...close second.

Ummmm...good point but, I should have been more specific.  I can’t recall her ever showing breasts, bare ass, bush, or the like.  Nothing like say, Candice or Elsa.  Like someone said before, she just has a different personality and approach to the business, and I’m fine with it.

In a single post:

 

 

I don't agree with who says that this shoot is more vanilla than Candice's.

 

 

And of course this shoot is more vanilla, since it's not that much sexy.

 

So, which one is it?

 

It's just that I read someone that said that this shoot is more vanilla than Candice's.. as if Candice's is not, as if it's vulgar or something, which is clearly not. That's why I don't agree with it.

No, she never did full frontal nudity. I wasn't complaining about the shoot per se, but the fact that it doesn't really fit the Maxim brand.

In my opinion.

^ Agreed. It's a nice shoot, but not what I personally associate with the magazine. She's shown way more skin and had more sex appeal in the past (2013-14 VS, 2014 SI) so it's a little odd how for a magazine like Maxim she seemed to play it safe.

So funny all of our reactions.  We hear "Lily" and "Maxim," and we had an idea in our heads. The shoot doesn't match that idea.  Am I right?  Still, she looks sensational, and I think my frequent sign-off makes more sense now--Never Enough Lily. 

Never Enough Lily. 

 

On that, I think we can all agree.  One of my all-time favorites 

They are going with the natural beauty of Lily, the shoot looks effortless and makeup is pure.

I can't say I'm blown away by the spread, many of her VS pics are killer and I go like woah.

 

However looking at the spread and the article on E online, she possess such confident laid back attitude that really comes through in this spread and that's what I love about her

I love the shot of her in the jeans from Maxim. It's such a 90s classic shot. I love how subtle the Maxim shoot is. She doesn't need to be without clothes or all oiled up to look beautiful and sexy. I like the shoot. She looks so pretty and effortless.
