February 6, 201510 yr Am I the only one who think SI is going over board with this? It used to be pretty girls on the beach modeling swimwear. Now it's become a punch of politics. All the models are wearing the same brands. Nothing ever changes. They never really think outside of the box unless it involves photographing Kate Upton somewhere unusual. Every year, its the same old crap over and over with some new models. I always liked the way SI South Africa went about it. I never liked Genevieve Morton. I think she is a one trick pony who can only do Swimwear/Lingerie. However, this shot of her for SI SAis amazing. It's a pretty bathing suit. Something a lot of girls would wear. The shot is good and it doesn't make her look stocky. Am I the only one who thinks that SI US intentional picks bad shots of slightly heavier models and makes them look bad. ie Kate Upton, Genevieve Etc. I love Ashley Graham but this bathing suit makes her look like she is out of shape and she isn't. http://postimg.org/image/hti2yrxin/ (source the mirror) the top doesn't fit right. Get something that cover the bottom if you want the side boob out. Also, she has a nice hip to waist ratio. Why on earth would you use a hip hugger bottom which accentuates the widest part of her body. Either go lower or higher with bottom. Not only that, why would you choose cut outs on the side of her hips. What women wants their muffin toppy fat splurging out (whether you are a size 2 or 16).this one is better because it accentuates the best parts of her body. ie her curves. Also, what is with the horrible airbrushing. I mean the cover was horrible. One boob was airbrushed one cup size larger than the other. LOL http://postimg.org/image/6rtthd61x/ (source the dailyvenusdiva)i apologize if I am not supposed to post these Ashley Graham pictures. I assume I could because they are featured in various newspapers. * I change the images to links
February 6, 201510 yr I can answer some basic questions you might have in PM, but that's about it.No need for PM, you can answer me here. What's the status with Photoshop? Is entire issue like the cover?
February 6, 201510 yr i apologize if I am not supposed to post these Ashley Graham pictures. I assume I could because they are featured in various newspapers. It should be fine, if it's not we'll hear about it.
February 6, 201510 yr I can answer some basic questions you might have in PM, but that's about it.No need for PM, you can answer me here. What's the status with Photoshop? Is entire issue like the cover? Gonna be honest, it's kinda a toss up. Some of the pictures look pretty worked over, others are a lot more natural, and some don't even look like they've been worked on. Maybe Adobe kept have crit errors and they couldn't get around to fixing everything properly? Oh and Chrissy's forehead is something special this year.
February 6, 201510 yr ^ I capped it already, PM or shall I post it? I also updated Wikipedia just to troll SI and boom they deleted everything Serious though?

February 6, 201510 yr Oh and Chrissy's forehead is something special this year. They managed to keep her away from the cover so I for one wont complain about that
February 6, 201510 yr i apologize if I am not supposed to post these Ashley Graham pictures. I assume I could because they are featured in various newspapers. It should be fine, if it's not we'll hear about it. i just wanted to illustrate how bad the artistry is from the stylist to the airbrusher. Its crap all around. the photography is just so-so. I think they should fire MJ. She makes very bad decision. I want SI to be like this again: This was such a good shot that it was used as the cover of Photo Magazine in France and the US. yes it's a pretty girl and its simple. sometimes keeping it simple is better. there isn't any weird photo-shopping. the bathing suits are figure flattering and these girls have really good bodies. a lot of the girls the past few years aren't the curviest or even healthiest looking girls. hell its bad when fitness magazines look better than your issue: just give her some victoria secret hair and it would have worked better than what they have now. LOL. Plus that bathing suit is really cool looking.
February 6, 201510 yr All the Girls are doing PR and retweeting the SI upcoming events except Emrata.... why?
February 6, 201510 yr One of my most fav movies ever On a side note, how come Pink Couture is still around here on BZ after that? Because she's a bad-ass. There's a reason her staff code name is "Black Mamba".
February 6, 201510 yr Hard to believe that Hailey is just a rookie ... she is already a big thing for me ! I love her
February 6, 201510 yr Short discussion of the cover on Fox news NYC is the SI Swimsuit Cover soft porn? http://www.myfoxny.com/clip/11105251/si-swimsuit-soft-porn
February 6, 201510 yr All the Girls are doing PR and retweeting the SI upcoming events except Emrata.... why?You really want to believe Emily is pissed about not being on the cover?
February 6, 201510 yr ^ Well, she really is the only one who literally hasn't said absolutely anything SI related. It wouldn't be the first time a model gets bitchy about it, I remember Alyssa Miller & Chrissy Teigen were the same in 2012 when Kate got the cover, a cover that btw I agree was a disaster, it was baaad.
