The pics of Shanina were catalog work from a random designer posted on SI's website for "Hottie of the week", or something along the lines. Neither Gisele or Shanina have worked for SI

SI features pictures of girls all the time that haven't worked for them. It's their lovely lady of the day, or week or month. They take these pictures from numerous different sources, but at this point Shanina hasn't worked directly with them, at least to the point that she was credited in the magazine.

Got it

This is a very interesting blog about SI swimsuit and her models

they post about a recreation of the famous covers of the past for 2013 , and honestly it really looks like that! but in a bodypaint version

any chance that nicole williams is one of the unknowns?

she's well under the radar but damn, girl knows what to do with a one-piece: http://treatsmagazine.com/2012/09/nicole-williams-by-josh-ryan/

her instagram is here: http://instagram.com/justtnic

Is it possible that Lily Cole is in this years issue? She's wearing a Sports Illustrated cap on her instagram page plus she posted a bikini shot.

dont know guys.... but i dont think so

why is Michelle not in it?

Maiya why are you asking questions that none of us can answer? Do any of us work for SI? Nope, so why would you think we'd be privy to that kind of info?

it can be, would be happy if it is her.

the lips looks totally like hers and hair too... but dont know could be....

is there a chance that Esti Ginzburg, Lucia Dvorska, Kim Cloutier and Michelle Vawer to be in this edition?

now i saw the body and think its look the same in the belly part...Guys rookie Hannah Davis? or she have shooted before SI?

She has two big moles close to her collarbone, and I think I can see one in the picture in the yellow bikini. I think it's a good possibility, and I think she'd be good for the magazine!
