All the models are posting pictures from their shoots, except Erin.. and the few that she has up hide the hair. :rofl: Her sadness is real

 

Why didn’t she speak up during the shoot?? Did she not realize how bad it was? She trusted that SI’s hair and makeup people knew what they were doing?


Maybe she got more tanned than she thought and her hair got more bleached than she thought. She was in Africa after all. But if she looked like that when she got there…!


The problem wasn’t just the texture of the hair but the contrast between her hair, lips and skin tone.

More impressions:

 

Bo is really pretty. I saw people saying her face was off...I mean, kind of, but I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out to me.

 

I like Emily DiDonato a lot, but her body doesn't strike me as perfect for swimsuit.

This is very pageant-y! :laugh:


Meet The Beautiful Women In SI Swimsuit's 2016 Model Search Contest

 


Based on the video, I would say that the first 3 girls were the best.


Kyra Santorio looks super awkward, she does not look like a model…


From what I remember, Megan Williams has a really fit swimsuit model body so maybe she didn’t shine to the best of her ability there.

These are my fav shots of the shoot.

 

Malta had the best pops of colour of the shoot. Most energy. I am not a fan of Samantha but some of her shots were actually quite stunning. Especially when she isn't looking so trashy. These are my fav shots from Malta. (SI employ Ben Watts for the whole issue next time).

Turks & Caicos was an underwhelming location but James did more unique and risky types of poses that weren't typical SI and I kind of liked that.

Tahiti another meh location and doesn't help that Yu is horrible. But there was some shots I really liked.

And last was Zanzibar. One of the best locations but the overexaggetated filter and colouring ruined a lot of the shots. I didn't like anything of Chrissy or Erin's shots.

Theres a point in this interview that they ask Hailey a question and Ashley jumps in before she can. I find it a bit obnoxious but I can't knock her because she's seizing her moment like she says Elle and Tyra told her to. She also says that she wasn't retouched, in that case her body is pretty nice.

It's funny because, between the two of them, I actually think Hailey has the much more interesting personality. Ashley is just more confident and outspoken. 

 

However, because Ashley is more hopped up and because the "big girl was forced to develop a personality; stereotypical blonde model is boring" narrative is very popular, I can see Hailey getting pigeon-holed and stigmatised as just another bimbo. 

 

Very unfortunate because I like both of them.

*shrugs*

To me, very few of these girls stand out personality-wise.

I would say that the exceptions in the recent years are: Chrissy (though not necessarily in a good way), Nina, Kate

The rest just seem to be interchangeable "Oh I'm just so happy to be here" model types.

I guess Alyssa had a tiny bit of a personality as well, in terms of it standing out.

And Gen and Natasha had a bit of awkwardness that could be mistaken for quirky charm.
