June 13, 201410 yr SI Swimsuit 2015 Casting Call: Samantha Gradoville New Year's baby, native Husker, SI Swimsuit hopeful with a smile to die for CASTING, PHOTOS, Q&A BY REBECCA SHORE CASTING CALLS for Swimsuit 2015 are in full swing and we are bringing you a sneak peek at some of this year’s Swimsuit hopefuls. Who do you think will make it in? * * * SAMANTHA GRADOVILLE, who missed the 80s by a matter of hours, having come into this world on January 1, 1990, bucks the trend of the stereotypical corn-husking Nebraskan. Her mother put her in modeling classes to combat her shyness, and the rest was Midwestern history. The gorgeous 24-year-old with the wide eyes and wider smile jumped full on into the modeling world, walking in hundreds of fashion shows and snagging Brazilian male model Marlon Teixiera. I don’t know who is luckier. * * * Name: Samantha Gradoville But my family and friends call me: Sam Age: 24 Hometown: Omaha, Neb.

June 13, 201410 yr I want Martha for SI! I love seeing the VS/SI crossover so I'm all for it! Secretly hoping for Erin Heatherton to do SI. She would be perfect, especially for an all-american theme. I really hope the theme of "America" doesn't lead with the model choices. It would be so boring, especially since other countries have such exotic beauty and different features. And what American would they use on the cover? Kate Upton again?
June 13, 201410 yr ^ It doesn't matter how beautiful or exotic girls from other countries are, Americans will always prefer anything Americans and based on the American guys I know most of them love their All-American blondes with a good rack If they manage to get Kate Upton back and they are indeed going for the American theme I can't see anyone else getting that cover. As long as the models are pretty I honestly give a fuck where they came from and based on the casting calls, except for Clara Alonso all the girls I liked have been American anyway. I don't see how this could end up being boring.
June 13, 201410 yr VS models that I could see doing SI would be Kelly Gale, Shanina Shaik, Palvini, & Heatherton.I could see Lilly & Bregje doing it againSo far from the models that been confirmed would like to see Ratajowski or Sara to get the cover.
June 14, 201410 yr Bad Lauren!!! The craziest thing I’ve had to do on a shoot is: swim with dolphins full speed in a lagoon; so fast that dolphin was that I lost my bottoms—really fun job with Abercrombie I promise you if you see this documentary you'll never want go to a Sea World (or it's equivalent), or go swimming with dolphins ever again.
June 14, 201410 yr Dolphins are known sexual offenders http://deepseanews.com/2013/02/10-reasons-why-dolphins-are-aholes/
June 16, 201410 yr #modelsbymoonlight. We are vampires. #sleepwhenwearedead Chanel? Please let this be in a cemetery... or some haunted Asylum. PLEASE
June 16, 201410 yr Edit confirming on the Photographer. but I think the location is New York (Sleepy Hollow area), also keeping a watch on Montauk and Chicago
June 16, 201410 yr Two different SI photographers, both in the same location, both making reference to the "Fog" on the same exact day and a one of them is posting secret project secret spot Could be a coincidence, maybe not, however the last time this happened, it was confirmed SI.
June 16, 201410 yr Very intriguing idea, this fog. I think you are right about Chanel. That pic doesn't look good though. Looks like a Real Housewife with plenty 'o' injections.
