Liking it better than last year's addition, but then again that wasn't a particularly high bar to clear.  Really liked Christen's shoot, for what it's worth.  Really wish that she had gotten one of the covers.

What we need is an annual swimsuit edition of Bikini Lovers released at the same time as SI Swim.  Thank goodness for Bikini Lovers: consistent high quality sexy shoots of high quality sexy models.  None of this DEI BS.  IMO, Bikini Lovers is the antithesis of SI Swim.

 

Can I get an amen?

I would definitely be on board with that idea. 

In summary, here's the criteria to make it into their issue:

 

• Chonky ✅

• Near retirement age ✅

• Used to be a dude ✅

• No longer in their prime ✅

• Hot ❌

I for one am humored by whomever had the leaf strung up on them like a country ham. I mean, they found a leaf of that size and it held it's own remarkably well.

Honestly though, wtf are these swimsuits? Between the suits and the bad photography these girls barely stood a chance regardless of what they did or didn't bring to the table.

I had the magazine early again and I just couldn't be bothered. It's really not worth the time or effort. Hopefully the annual sales are bringing the team joy.

i really don't get how this can sell well?? is it there a way to know something?

Most of the "models" are utterly repulsive.  Between the oldy, ugly, and fatty, there are MAYBE 3-4 decent ones.  Smh

Thanks to @Prettyphile and everyone else who posted the content on here.

 

Unfortunately the issue itself is straight garbage. I agree that Christen's shoot is by far the best thing in the issue, whilst also conceding that in a good SISE year, that shoot would not have made anyone's top ten.

 

As for the rest of it, I think Padma has an incredible body for a 52-year old woman and she should have made the issue like 20+ years ago instead. The rest is instantly forgettable and/or completely ridiculous. Even some of the other returning girls like Hailey ultimately feel like a huge letdown.

 

 

 

You guys are in for a treat... Somehow the pics get worse in UHQ.  I'm uploading them atm, so give it some times, pictures are big

Not the only things that are big this year... 🤣 

And any other year with UHQs would have been better.
