May 17, 201312 yr And what exactly do you mean by new brand-defining? Blond hair blue eyes? "curvy"? "American" which brand defining mark are we looking at? Brooklyn Decker was barely a blip in the fashion community when it came to swimsuit, the average layman didn't know who she was, she was a pretty blond, but overall she was fairly forgettable. She dated a famous tennis player, went on to movies and has a few decent-ish titles under her belt, but again is still fairly irrelevant.Nina, I will say is still relatively unforgettable to me as well, unless Pretty is in the room, but that's a whole other story, whereas Kate who is the top searched model currently in the world, and the first model to have back to back covers in almost 20 years with SI, could probably be defined as how I'm interpreting you're "new brand-defining swimsuit model" but maybe I'm wrong and you're just throwing out personal conjecture and opinion.
May 17, 201312 yr Brooklyn Decker was actually a good SI swimsuit model and swimsuit model- excellent one-of-a-kind swimsuit body, and she'll be remembered for just that & probably not for anything else. The only thing detractors can attack her for is 'pug nose' but that's about it, and that's in nitpicking territory. And what exactly do you mean by new brand-defining? Blond hair blue eyes? "curvy"?

Indeed, and that is the nature of such things given the fact that their decision making & selection criteria/processes are opaque....as is 'sociological' truth I find Nina Agdal to be kind of repulsive most of the time and I can't be the only one. I don't put too much thought in SI but her cover 2-x is unexpected given the type of women that's generally perceived as a great swimsuit model and given those that won the cover in the 90s/00s. . So I have serious doubts that Katie Upton appeals to people who really like women in swimsuits rather than those that like a very large bust and those that are more sturdy-boned. (which is okay). She's one of the few-if not the only one in the magazine that possesses that type of physique. That being said (I hope you aren't mad yet...I know you are a fan ) I like her face and I think she's too 'classy' in a way to be posing with so little clothing. So I like her with clothing on, and she works well in other settings & particularly those that involve old hollywood and throwback glamour.
May 17, 201312 yr They haven't said anything about shooting but who knows However they have the Summer issue coming out on June 7th If I remember correctly, I don't think they'll be shooting for 2014 before having that one ready? It's coming out next month, I wish we knew something more about it. All they said in February was that they would be launching it in Vegas

It's coming out next month, I wish we knew something more about it. All they said in February was that they would be launching it in Vegas The more I try to figure out what they are going to do with the summer issue, the more I'm stumped by it all. I almost wonder if it's just going to be one of those books like Fantasy Islands where we see more pics from shoots already in the magazine? or if it's all new shots (in which case they've done a great job not leaking stuff on it). I have no feel for what this will be. Guess we'll all know June 7
May 17, 201312 yr They are probably going to be a lot more careful this year cause the cover leaked last year, hopefully this doesnt effect all the instagram shots we used to get

Guess we'll all know June 7 there's no way is going to be new shoots...it has to be unseen pics of SI 2013 .. but its so wierd they dont tell nothing about at this time! about the summer edition since february that they told to a couple of Vegas news sites.... im so curious about it

Mj quote: “We have been preparing for this moment. We knew this was going to be our 50th issue, and next year is our actual 50th anniversary, so we have been thinking in 2’s about this. We have a plan, and since we love Las Vegas, we’ll be back here soon. The girls love coming here. I hope we continue to keep coming back. “First of all, we are launching Swim Daily. It gives our readers the opportunity to learn the behind-the-scenes secrets, the lifestyles, the health and diet secrets. It’s not just swimsuit. They have a fan base and deep following, so we wanted to deliver what they’re all up to for our readers -- 365 swimsuit beauties for each day of the year with unique content. Shopping with Alyssa, favorite restaurants with Chrissy. “Next up is the swimsuit summer celebration issue this year. It’s a custom summer swimsuit issue in early June. It’s going to be substantial, nice and thick and not slimmed down. We’re working on the actual premise right now. We’ll reveal that secret back in Las Vegas on June 7. We’ll be back here for three more days of celebration. “It will be a big event. So now you know how we’re celebrating 50 years. A twice-annual swimsuit issue, plus, 365 beauties on the Internet all year around.”
May 18, 201312 yr “Can you believe that? I’ve never been to Las Vegas,” said Emily. “I’d never heard of Namibia, and yet I went there. Normally, I would have been booked in Las Vegas for a photo shoot, but this was my first time. That educational system. Seriously it's not like she's from a 3rd world country where they don't teach you world geography in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade. How in the bloody hell has she never heard of Namibia?
May 18, 201312 yr ^ I was once asked where in Mexico is Venezuela located, so just because you're from a 1st world country doesn't mean you can't be dumb I also think the summer edition will be unseen photos from previous editions. I'm not sure if just 2013 or all the previous years but definitely nothing new
May 20, 201312 yr Casting Call, Victoria Lee Casting Call: Victoria Lee Swimsuit hopeful Victoria Lee chats about kissing Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper CASTING BY ALYSSA CONROY Victoria Lee came to visit us here at SI Swimsuit, she had a bubbly personality and an infectious accent! Although you may not get the chance to actually meet the Australian born beauty like we did, you probably have seen her in one of her many campaigns. Her campaigns & ads include: Armani Exchange, American Eagle, Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, and Abercrombie & Fitch. She has also been in Glamour Magazine! Victoria had a hard time choosing the celebrity she would like to do a kissing scene with, but when faced with the challenge of picking between Bradley Cooper & Ryan Gosling, we can understand. Check out what she had to say below! Name: Victoria Lee Age: 22 Hometown: Narrandera, N.S.W, Australia Item I can’t leave home without: Chapstick and snacks of course When I go out I love wearing: Perfume Favorite sport to watch: Football (Australian Football League) First thing I notice about a guy: His eyes & smile equally First thing guys notice about me: My smile…I guess I am always smiling I feel sexiest: In sweats, in shorts and a tee, or a simple dress with Converses Celebrity you would choose to do a kissing scene with: Bradley Cooper, closely followed by Ryan Gosling Biggest fear: BUGS!!!! Cockroaches in particular. Items on my bucket list: Bring my family to NY all together, take proper cooking classes, become a yoga instructor! Best place I’ve gone for a shoot: Formentera, Spain – such beautiful, blue water! Ideal swimsuit should would be in: Anywhere warm Favorite Workout Regimen: Running & yoga Song I’m currently loving: Next to Me by Emeli Sande My random skill: I make nice greeting cards & I can juggle Signature scent: Geranium or Ralph Lauren Romance My favorite clothing item: Vintage jacket that belonged to my nan! I adore her, I've been looking at her work for a while and I'd love to see what she does in SI
May 20, 201312 yr I love her too! I hope she makes it, but I won't hold my breathe. I highly doubt we'll see anymore then two girls tops (if any) from the casting call make it.
May 20, 201312 yr ^ I agree with that, I mentioned that earlier and Dave did too. I just don't see MJ putting all those no-name models in the magazine, she seems to be more into known faces at least judging by this year's rookies.
May 20, 201312 yr Oh my YES! Finally someone I'm completely fond of But at the same time I wish she never graced the "Casting Call" page as my hopes for her passing thru aren't too high now. Meh, assumptions are too easy no doubt so I just hope the odds are on her side for the coming issue.
May 20, 201312 yr God could you image if the magazines (2014 and Summer editions) were released early on 4chan/reddit. How much would SI lose it's shit again? Now that SI has made such a huge deal about the last issue people will be gunning to screw up their "big releases". Such a shame! Gif sources: Sheri + Chance
May 21, 201312 yr And we'll be there trying to screw them before anyone else does, just like this February riiiight?!
