2. It is nice to see a woman who doesn't look like a 12 year old boy
and actually has some curves on the cover of a magazine!

3. All American girl
SI always had the "All American girl" type on the cover (Tiegs /Brinkley) not sure if they got away from that. Would have to check.

4. Which is ironic considering Refaeli is Israeli.
And also unbelievably hot.

12. Look at their covers from 2000 to now
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/swimsuit/collection/covers/

What two assets do all of those wicked-skinny girls have in common? No, not thier giant hipbones.

17. This is why I don't read SI anymore.

18. When it started it was in the middle of winter (basketball/hockey only)

Guess what

I think a lot of the summer line of swimwear comes out this time of year to

21. Good, cause they obviously don't want your money.
If they did, they'd show men's swimsuits (modeled by lots of oiled up beefcake of course) too ... the bastards.

37. I don't read SI anymore...
...because it sucks as a sports magazine. In fact, all sports magazines suck compared to the internet.

machine so I gave it up. I tried to follow the trends in swimware. Sports Illustrated has only had bikinis for the last decade. It is ridiculous. Who the hell can wear a bikini unless you are ...like... 13. So I read wedding magazines instead to get the newest ideas for fashion of new necklines.

26. No please. Wear a bikini. Hold you baby on your hip. Promote the myth
of Amazonian American Women to the whole world. Wear it Girl!

27. I might think twice this year if my belly doesn't go all the way
back, but by wearing a bikini I am not promoting anything to anyone (except maybe my husband). It is my body and I will wear what looks good on it (reasonably).

29. I never even gave it a second thought.
Plus it makes a better tan if you are hanging out in the sun all day.

31. I don't lay out anymore myself. But we go on the lake
all through the summer. We are in the boat from 9 am to 7 pm. I do lather up with sunscreen. I do like to get a little bronzed.

35. Here is a story you will like.
A very attractive woman I used to work with went to the beach with her three-year old son. As the woman lay there in her bikini, some guy decided to hit on her with the outstanding come-on line "Hey, baby!"

Her three-year-old looked up angrily at the guy and said:
"I am NOT a baby!"

The woman said she almost died laughing.

34. My ex-girlfriend used to create and sew bikinis.
She would design and sew all her own suits and sell then through swim boutiques and surf shops in Southern California.

Rough business, though, because people can copy your patterns simply by taking apart the suits and tracing them. Knock-offs!

She had five industrial machines in the back bedroom, and a cutting table.
