Stamoholic Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ^ I hope it's not number 2!The 00's have not been good for SI, IMO.
happycanadian2 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 the last great issue that i remember was the one with Rebecca Romijn on the cover. whatever year that was ... "The Not So Virgin Islands".
Joe > Average Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Esti may bee too young looking for SI for me, but I must say she does have amazing hair (and I'm not a blonde buff per se, just another color IMO, no offense ) .
Strawberry BigMac Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 notice how they are going through all the models but bar hasn't come up yet...speculation speculationmy favourite cover is still Petra!...i love that picture.
michelabella Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I saw on E news today them shooting a couple of the girls in Italy and Turkey and they showed alot of Irina
MattLoveModels Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 whys irina's hair always look like shes just done shagging? guess that goes along with her appeal.btw nice seeing Lucy from A Model Life in this issue. i always thought shed make it into SI. she used to come to bz too.
PinkCouture Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ^ Oh that's where she is from. I thought she looked familiar And remember in the first episode the guy who is in-charge of NEXT picked Lucia b/c she is versatile. He said something like, "She can do high fashion and Sports Illustrated." Hmmm...
MattLoveModels Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 yea and then she put on that bathing suit and it was like bam!
kelvinc Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 notice how they are going through all the models but bar hasn't come up yet...speculation speculationmy favourite cover is still Petra!...i love that picture. No need to speculate: she'll be up on Sunday, from the Flash video data file. Rebecca's "Not So Virgin Islands" was 1999. I totally agree that the 00's have not been great for SI. I've been really disappointed since 2006 because even though I hated the cover, it had my favorite set of rookies (Brooklyn Decker, Carla Campbell, Alina Nakashima, Pania Rose, and :heart: Yesica Toscanini :heart: ), and they've ditched them all except for Brooklyn within two years.
PinkCouture Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ...After all, there were 20 models last year but only 19 so far for this year, and it's just too suspicious that Selita and ABB are suddenly not in the issue. Perhaps the 20th "model" isn't a model at all
french Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 If it's not Bar on the cover, I predict that:1. Brooklyn/Irina/Tori or Daniella will be on the cover 2. They will copy the shot done for the cover of another Sports Illustrated from 2000-2007 i want Brooklyn or Tori to get the cover.
Stamoholic Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 This is from PoshKitty at TFS:Guys my bf has been surfing on net& he tells me the 2009 issue comes out this Tuesday,There are 4 fave models to get the COVER:Brooke DeckerJessica GomesBar Rafaeli& Hilary RhodaDo we know if this is true?
mbinebri Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ^ No one has any way of knowing. Any list like that is probably just guesswork for now. ...After all, there were 20 models last year but only 19 so far for this year, and it's just too suspicious that Selita and ABB are suddenly not in the issue. Perhaps the 20th "model" isn't a model at all It's going to be you on the cover, isn't it, Pink?
Stamoholic Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ^ That's what I thought. Not even the models know who's on the cover until like the day before release, right? I have to say, I've just had a look over the past swimsuit issues and their model content... and it's made me a little blue! I think half of the models in the issue this year would have been considered not good enough for the magazine even in the early 90's. I mean, think about it, SI used to have so many gorgeous, amazing models to choose from, they didn't even get around to putting LAETITIA CASTA on the cover!! Or Steph Seymour! Or Cindy Crawford! Can you imagine if either Casta or Seymour or Crawford were in their prime today and up against these girls for the cover? I think we would all know who was going to get it! I'm probably being so negative and stressy, sorry, I'm just SO desperate for this new cover to rock and look amazing! I'm also really dismayed watching todays video at the amount of girls who were naked, not even WEARING swimsuits! I hate that. I love that SI is sexy ( although I don't like the FHM sex they keep projecting recently), but it's the SWIMSUIT ISSUE! They should at least have bikini bottoms on, IMO. Bah, I'm so nervous!!
michelabella Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ^ yep that's what I heard Heidi Klum say on her E True Hollywood story but from that list I think only Bar or Hilary should get the cover. I think Hilary could do an amazing cover and bring lots of attention to it! plus she's American!
mbinebri Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I have to say, I've just had a look over the past swimsuit issues and their model content... and it's made me a little blue!

Or Steph Seymour! Or Cindy Crawford! I was saying basically the same thing in Marisa's thread the other day. But you don't even have to go back all the way to the 90s - even the early 2000s had far more star power. I wonder if it's coincidence or SI's decision that no previous covermodel is appearing in this issue. Anywho... SI.com linked to a site that offers betting odds as to who will get the cover. Brooklyn is the clear favorite.
michelabella Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I personally miss all the Czech bombshells (Petra,Daniela,Veronika) in the early 00's I think were the last good issues and Brooklyn, I'll pass, thank you but she was on NFL shows leading up to the Superbowl so....
PinkCouture Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 It's going to be you on the cover, isn't it, Pink? Yes...in my dreams
sarnic Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I like the idea of whoever said a foldout with all the girls for the cover! i know that won't happen, but it would be sexy! I think Bar will get the cover, but like someone else said I wouldn't mind Hilary. I think she would look great on a cover. Irina would too edit- did not mean to put every single girl, but a few would be nice. also a foldout would not cheapen the magazine imo. vogue has done foldouts before and I like it. group shots are good by me
Stamoholic Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ^ The fold out cover might sound cute ( very cute!), but it would totally ruin SI.Part of the allure of the swimsuit issue from a modeling perceptive is that the cover is a prize position. Something you aspire to. If all of the girls got it ( and many of them being rookies) it would cheapen it, IMO. It would take away the prestige completely.
