March 1, 201312 yr no, it was the 50th issue. next year they'll do the 50th anniversary issue.for anyone confused why SI is doing that, read daniel boorstin's 'the image: a guide to pseudo-events in america'. basically it allows SI to celebrate something without actually accomplishing anything other than continuing to exist.
March 1, 201312 yr I don't recall MJ or anyone from SI mentioning something for 2014 (i.e while shooting for 2012 MJ already was mentioning working for the 2013 issue) and neither does the magazine include something like it did in 2012 about their 50th Issue. I really don't think they'll do anything 'special' for 2014 but if you say so ...
March 1, 201312 yr ROTY votingEmily -> 16%Hannah -> 26%Kate B -> 42%Natasha -> 17%Total: 101% again11 days to go until they close, things haven't changed too much so obviously unless something weird happens Kate B will win and be back for sure in 2014

I really don't think they'll do anything 'special' for 2014 but if you say so ... i could swear MJ's mentioned both the 50th issue and 50th anniversary issue in the same sentence in a recent video interview, but i really don't want to try to find that again

March 1, 201312 yr i agree that it's a no brainer: only someone with no brains would think that way. SI should be finding the next big thing, instead of coasting on kate. remember, of the last 36 rookies, kate upton is the only one deemed worthy of a cover. kate was good (two years ago), but she's not that good. and she sure not getting any better. i didn't make this, so i'm not the only one to point it out... i think it will take care of itself. next year it will be even harder to justify choosing kate over a model who actually tries to stay fit. it sounds like a bad joke, but they literally had to put her in a parka so she would look presentable for this year's cover. i guess she knows MJ isn't bold enough to pick anyone else. i shudder to think what they'll have to put her in next year that would justify a three-peat. maybe one of those cut-outs you stick your head through? i dunno, seems at that point it would be better just to use a fresh face instead.
March 2, 201312 yr While I'm on record as thinking the poll is rigged, a plausible legitimate explanation for the relatively static totals is that the vast majority of votes took place within 48 hours of the magazine/website's release. Given that is likely when the site experienced the lion's share of its traffic, any further voting - regardless of how dedicated - is but a drop in the bucket.That's if it's legit. But I doubt it is. Still, that'd be plausible.

I agree she has added inches to her chest and thighs over the years...but um, that's what guys like? a curvy body? in the modeling world she is considered big...but in average world (who reads this mag) well she's perfect. i'd rather see a girl with a womanly body on SI than a twig. and yes i do believe some of the SI models are twigs. variety is great, but kate ultimately sells.
March 3, 201312 yr I think that Anne V is a better looking Blonde swimsuit model than Kate. Unfortunately, she is Russian, and not American......

March 7, 201312 yr Genevieve & Natasha redo the Harlem Shake after being the only ones who didn't dance in Vegas
March 7, 201312 yr Any excuse to show more boobs ( poor Natasha looks like a deer caught in the headlights trying to dance ) Man they need to outlaw that dance already!
March 7, 201312 yr hey guysim new to signing up but ive been reading the thread for a few months now.good points being brought up.i kind of like their video, i think it at least explains why they didnt dance in the first place and its kind of funny.anyway who needs an excuse to see girls in bikinis.genevieve is fun, she's always been a favorite of mine. But i also love nina, and i think kate bock looks promising as well.
March 7, 201312 yr ^ Welcome aboard sir (tad late) good choice on Nina...but I shall pretend I didn't read the Kate Bock remark
March 7, 201312 yr thank you for the welcome, i guess the rookies all need to prove themselves.all the girls are very different from year to year though. thats what i love about the issue!what do you think of the app? i love the videos.
