February 5, 201510 yr Part of the job of being a model is know what looks best on you. Hannah is not a HF girl and as such she doesn't need a myriad of different poses and expression in her reputare. Hannah should of been able to objectively say "Hey if I'm wearing <blank> and I pose like this... It can come across as looking <blank>", that's part of being a good model. Hannah made a bad call on that pose in particular, and SI made a bad call using that shot. There's absolutely no reason to defend either parties. Both were clearly in the wrong according to the people who've spoken. I think that's a naive view of how the industry works and especially SI. With digital photography they take literally thousands of pictures of the girls now and the job of a model is partly to know what works for you but to also follow the photographers directions. She had literally zero choice in the shot used.
February 5, 201510 yr It's all because of this low bikini. I saw that and went wow and didn't care. Showed my friends and no one said or cared they're just like wow she's hot good cover.Is it just in Muerca that everything is a big deal?
February 5, 201510 yr ^ Seems like it. I'm also failing to see how this cover is any more risky than the last five years
February 5, 201510 yr ^ Seems like it. I'm also failing to see how this cover is any more risky than the last five years It's not, it's the same uptight weirdos who say this every year. I remember when Bar's cover was "controversial"...
February 5, 201510 yr ^ Seems like it. I'm also failing to see how this cover is any more risky than the last five years I honestly don't see much difference between this cover and Kate Upton's extra small bikini on her first cover. I don't remember if the reactions were as negative towards that bikini bottom, but this year's cover isn't doing anything particularly new in that sense.

February 5, 201510 yr Though tbf I just checked, on the '09 cover (kinda similar to this year) Bar did really smart, she's actually pulling just one side. Compared to that, it could be argued that the move was more discernible in Hannah's case. Other than that, the criticism dont make much sense to me at least, unless someone were opposed to the whole idea of SI

Seriously people are dumb and annoy me. They make my head hurt. If it were Vogue or Vanity Fair or something. Ok I get it complain. But it's not.
February 5, 201510 yr Remember when I posted about http://www.reddit.com/r/siswimsuit2015? It's going viral right now. Thought anyone who uses Reddit would be interested in checking it back out and contributing. That's all.
February 5, 201510 yr I find these two perspective hilarious http://jezebel.com/sports-illustrated-will-feature-plus-sized-bikini-model-1683870184 http://deadspin.com/si-nobly-accepts-ad-money-to-put-normal-sized-woman-in-1683939647
February 5, 201510 yr Nina will be on ET tonight and Sara&Erin will be in AtoZ Sports too tomorrow morning ... So PR has started
February 6, 201510 yr If I had to describe this cover in three words, it would be: tacky, forgettable, lifeless. I like Hannah, but at the end of the day, no one is gonna remember this cover. She's just another lifeless white blonde with a famous BF, and the over-photoshopping is not helping. She doesn't ooze sex appeal and charisma the way Kate Upton does. Even the trio cover last year had charisma; it was fun, carefree, sexy, and different. I don't blame Hannah for the photo, but to me it comes across as super thirsty on SI's part. It feels like they know that Hannah isn't good enough (in terms of recognition and fame) so they just picked the most revealing shot to draw people in. It's actually a little offensive to her. The focus should be on the MODEL, not on how much skin she is showing. When I look at covers of Kate, I notice her whole persona first. Same with Marisa and Bar. Yes they show tons of skin, but there is an element of power and control in the cover and the model. In Hannah's case it's just pussy and boobs. That's why it feels tacky. Honestly, this whole issue feels a bit like a 'throwaway' issue compared to the insanely good rookie class we had last year and the cool, different, booty-centric trio cover with Nina, Chrissy, and Lily, and well as Kate the Great. That was memorable. I wish Emrata got the cover because I think it would have come out more exotic looking; I like that she has a different face from the typical SI girl and is brunette. I also think she's a better model. She manages to look super sexy while still in control and powerful. Gigi, while in the typically white blonde SI mold, manages to look different because she is good at posing and giving face. Honestly wish it was either of them. A Nina solo cover would have been great too.
February 6, 201510 yr I for one love the cover. I've never been a huge Hannah fan but this pic is tantalizing. The low bikini bottom pose is sexy to me and that's all I can say. I'm a guy and I think it's hot. As for the comments posted from other websites criticizing the cover, I don't think you can draw too much from random internet comments. No matter the topic online there are always people trolling.
February 6, 201510 yr I can understand absolutely everything...maybe less perfect location, maybe not perfect lineup but how the hell do they go overboard on so much Photoshop?And it's a wide spread decease in the fashion. Seriously...is it really possible that from so many people working for SI there isn't a single person with power to say: "Hey, maybe we've overdone on this one?"Unbelievable. Less Photoshop and that cover instantly looks 30% better. Hannah is young, she's not Hollywood actress in her 40s that is in need of digital help to look young.PS should only be used to correct minor mistakes or flaws, correct color balance and similar things. Not to make her into a plastic doll.And this whole show is supposedly run by a woman (MJ). The whole issue is going to suck, I can feel it.
February 6, 201510 yr I totally agree with Gab but not the emrata part lol Gab we are almost twins omg
February 6, 201510 yr Nina will be on ET tonight and Sara&Erin will be in AtoZ Sports too tomorrow morning ... So PR has startedhow u know this info clauds?
