2024 SI Swimsuit - (how big will the shitshow be this year?)

[lostdiadem]

I don’t know what logic they used for the legends when some of them are not even legends and did SI like a couple times. I wanna hope that the real legends like Hannah or Emrata refused to go back.

THEY HAVE FREAKING BROOKLYN DECKER AND THEY GAVE THE COVER TO THE ONE WHO IS LEGEND JUST BY ACQUAINTED LAST NAME.

The thin ones.

Molly Sims still looks incredibly beautiful at age 50. She is a great example that age is nothing but a number.

Favorite pictures: Not a huge fan of many of the models, but I found these pictures to be interesting, or pretty. I'm a big fan of texture, scenery, softness in the face, and less hard features. Also dislike a lot of beach shots as they've been done to absolute death and nothing is original about them. I like pictures that my eye can bounce back and forth between the model and background.

Wtf is Kate's cover? She looks so hard. There are so many better pictures she took. IMHO, they did Kate dirty this year and not in a good way.

I think the editors purposely chose the boring / unflattering pictures of all the "hot" ones to level the playing field with all the "not-so-hot" ones.

[selyoink]

Well Christen Harper is hot. And Kate Upton looks pretty good. The rest is bad, very bad

That's kinda what it feels like tbh. However MJ is fairly keen to keep the magazine going, so don't think she's going to sabotage her career over bad covers. I truly think MJ has lost her touch (didn't have much of a touch in the first place. You will NEVER be Diane), and this is just her getting older (aka she wants to see herself represented more), and not having an "eye" for decent pictures anymore.

 

Also Yu Tsai needs to calm the fuck down when the yellow filtering over the pictures. I have a feeling he likes do this because it helps to cover skin flaws, however he's had to desaturate the original pictures so badly because when you put Yellow over tanned/brow/orange skin...it turns it muddy. Yellow goes better over Blue/Teals/Purple (barely)

Jesus Christ what is this casting?! 90% of these women do not know what to do with their face, it's all so painfully amateurish.  

And there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for them to fly half way across the world to take the most mediocre photos that could have been done at your local community pool.  

[heartwing]

are there still the hard copy images to come? or is this the whole kit n caboodle?

[peroxideblonde]

Yu Tsai needs to be fired, he's terrible for this magazine
