May 29, 201311 yr why in the world would they all of a sudden choose to take away half the hype factor and just give us a list of who their new rookies are going to be. That to me seems like a rather dumb strategy.no, not really. they created a new publication called swim daily. as the name implies, they need daily content. in recent years the sneak peaks from the shoots have become popular, so they went to the next logical step and showed even more of their casting process. (i imagine that youtube of lisalla's reveal last year might have played a role.) we still won't know who is in the magazine--we'll just have a slightly easier time playing the spot-the-mole/sherlock game.anyway, my point is that it would be very dumb of them to post "casting calls" of dozens of girls they have little to no intention of actually presenting in the mag, then have some separate, much larger, secret casting process that screens the models who will actually be in the issue. one, i think it would be dumb to have two separate approaches to casting, and two, if they do that, then next year no girl is going to want to have their casting call posted.and you guys keep saying this year's casting calls are horrible. i mean, look at the rookies in the most recent issue. someone from SI south africa, lesser-known VS models, etc. those were the kinds of girls in the pool they were casting from. and this year, there's...someone from SI south africa, some lesser-known VS models, etc. it's not like the casting call girls this year are of wildly different caliber than the 2013 rookies, or even the 2013 veterans. just with the 23 they've posted so far, you could put together a team of 5 that is better than julie, chrissy, genevieve, ariel, and jessica, easily.I wouldn't mind if SI did something similar to what Australia's Next Top Model is doing, revealing 50-100 of casting finalists and leaving the fans to figure out which models made the final cut. This of course would lead to interweb stalking of the models but the drama as to who made it and who didn't would be hilarious.
May 29, 201311 yr Spoke to Pheno and she said that if the summer issue is coming out for next week it would come into distribution today... so we'll know one way or the other within the next day or two.
May 29, 201311 yr Spoke to Pheno and she said that if the summer issue is coming out for next week it would come into distribution today... so we'll know one way or the other within the next day or two.but if they are doing that same method of distribution... the cover could be leaked again... so i doubt they are doing that... they definitely are going to be more careful this time of course IF they really gonna released the summer issue.
May 29, 201311 yr They have to move the magazine into distribution- they have no choice about that. Without the magazines going through distribution (which can take up to a couple of days to catalog and send out on the trucks for delivery), stores/malls/ don't get the magazines sell.Leaks will always happen from a distribution center first.
May 29, 201311 yr Brittany Oldehoff posted a photo on twitter today showing she attended the casting as well..... Definitely has a body, very all-american... Maybe too sexy? I don't know about her. ] Hey! That's Jessica Rafalowski with her. She was Miss Florida USA 2008 and she worked for Beach Bunny. I think she has a classy personality. I don't see SI doing much better right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YbB7GB8meTg
May 29, 201311 yr ^ Yay Jessica! I've always liked her I'm rooting for her to do well! I do hope that there would be a summer issue or that they would at least start tweeting pictures soon.
May 29, 201311 yr Dana! She's absolutely amazing and one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.
May 30, 201311 yr Yes for Dana! I like her a lot Pretty do you have any idea if Michea went/is planing to go to the castings? Finally those Casting Calls are getting better (Y)

May 30, 201311 yr anyone know how you can get a job at swimsuit? or where open positions are posted. how many people do they employ
May 31, 201311 yr They haven't, their first location was Perú and got their permits revoked but Darcie said she's getting ready for the first shoot again so I'm assuming we'll get pictures this week or pretty soon. FML that they're going to Perú this week, I'll be there in two weeks I wonder how they're doing things this year, didn't a girl go to castings like two days ago?
