But this is getting way beyond the specific issue and spiraling into one of them pointless academic arguments. So mercifully for everyone, I have to get to campus.
February 15, 20169 yr I'm OK with Ashley on the cover. BUT This is forum discussing swimsuit models, not the policy planning section of the National Ethics Committee. We get that you have a knack for high-falutin' discourses but the place for that is Grad School. Everyone's joking around and the mirth makes this such a great thread. So chill out, dude

So chill out, dude Relax man, I get it. Edited my reply to show that the conversation is getting way too academic (in all senses of the term) for this thread, and it is. Time for all of us to move on. I'd be happy to continue elsewhere if anyone else wants to, though.
February 15, 20169 yr 25 minutes ago, Cult Icon said: Yep, I remember that. To my understanding, the "blank slate's" historical origins are from the rise of the pseudo-scientific psychologists (Freud, Jung, etc.) in the late 19th century coupled with the rise of existential philosophers of that time period. The strong form of "blank slate" dates as far back as Karl Marx's revolutionary writings and is a pillar of Das Kapital. I remember reading the papers, text and being quite stunned that he used this as a pillar of the ideology. It makes sense of course, why progressive movements generations later would cling a bit on it. Communism is long gone, but a faint shadow of Marxian thinking and unconscious impressions of the 'new socialist man' as the next stage of human consciousness still remains. The blank slate underwrites the hope that human beings are not "chained to their genetic programming" but can fully liberate themselves based on their free will. The philosophy of fat acceptance is just another..countless..iteration of this. I'd like to add just one thing - the "blank slate" theory pre-existed, eg. John Locke.
February 15, 20169 yr I will say this: Hannah Ferguson's intimates video is the hottest SISE related thing in a long time.

Good point, according to wiki the earliest appearance in the west is from Aristotle. Although it's strongest influence came with the rise of communism.
February 15, 20169 yr This is one of the worst rookie classes in years. Bo is the new Emily Ratajkowski, but a poor substitute. (BTW, MJ, when guys say they like a girl with curves, THIS is what they're talking about.) But I swear she has the absolute dumbest look in her eyes. Babs is the new Erin. I do not get it at all. Meh body, meh face, meh poses. And there are at least 30 pages of in this thread for her? Sofia is the new Lily (that said, I prefer Sofia, but wouldn't miss either of them) Tanya is the new Irina (that said, I prefer Tanya, but wouldn't miss either of them) Could you ever imagine ANY of these girls actually warranting a cover? If not, what are they doing there? Which reminds me: Ashley is rookie of the year by default. No way will MJ give it to anyone else. They had a FANTASTIC group of casting calls this year. You could have thrown darts at that list and ended up with at least a pretty good group of models. And yet this is what they arrived at? Shanina and Danielle are passed over?? Some of their best prospects are relegated to a model search, where only one will make it?? MJ is the first editor who didn't come from the world of fashion and boy oh boy does it ever show.
February 15, 20169 yr I took a quick look at the pictures because I'm at work but I think my early favorites are Nina (where are her swimsuits lolool), the Hannahs especially Ferguson, Hailey, Barbara and surprisingly Ms. Kate Bock, and there is Chrissy in all her awesomeness. I also noticed less retouching on the bodies? Some of the faces clearly got some work done but is much better than previous years. Will formulate a proper opinion once i'm home.
February 15, 20169 yr so Irina , Nina and hanna d were on another location : dominican republic for the virutal thing.
February 15, 20169 yr My Favs... Irina - might be the best she's ever looked for SI, at least for me! It only took 10 years though Samantha H - yes, I know.. Sammy, but I really enjoyed a lot of her photos. Bo - such a girl crush and like Slowen said MJ this is the body men *and myself* want to see! Chrissy - because... it's Chrissy and bejewled crotch. Hailey - I actually enjoyed the majority of her pictures this year over last year. I've been a huge fan of Hailey's since she was 13 (I know, you pedo!) and I'm thrilled to see her dreams come true. Sofia - While boring, you simply cannot go wrong with her body, and I loved a couple of her suits and for a person who loaths the sun to say I want them and I'd be willing to wear them, that says a lot. Nina - Hit and miss face, but a true SI girl The worst... Tanya - I will defer back to original statements. Absolutely atrocious shoot & hands down my least favorite shoot of any model in 20 years. I'm not exaggerating the strength of my hate for this shoot. "O.o dear god she literally has the shortest torso in the history of torsos... combo that with zero waistline and at times she looks as thick as Robyn. inb4 "she's got the best body ever" and then I'm a sad panda." "Actually looking at Tanya she's like a 45 year old Trophy wife who's popped out four kids & has two stepsons almost her age. aka; Stacy's Mom And she's desperately trying to hold onto her 20's figure.. " Russian Call Girl? Barbara - she's wearing a bloody jacket, her face while pretty still isn't much to rave about, and SI desperately seemed hell bent on trying to cover her body with full cover bikinis and odd posing angles, I wonder why. Erin - At least she gives me laughs over Babs & Tanya Hannah D - Will stand by it; Nowadays girlfriend looks like a Real Housewife over a model, in fact I don't find a single thing remotely model about her anymore. Her face looks hard, aged and boxtox filled, her breasticals are O.o... Just nope! The Rest Apathetic at best and didn't care enough to formulate an opinion for the good or bad. Wouldn't be missed.
