Probably because the 'better' girls are more famous/known names and they (or their agents) don't want to get word out in case they get rejected by SI.

Like i said, I have the feeling that none (or most) of the girls they are showing won't make it to the magazine. They're just teasing us, if someone makes it out of the bunch it will probably be Bregje because she's the most familiar face and MJ doesn't seem to go for completely unknowns or at least that's the feeling i got from the lineup she pulled for 2013 :idk:

Right. This is the same thing the VS team does with their casting videos.

Exactly, they show probably 15-20 girls in those videos but only 2 or 3 girls make it. Mystery is part of the fun, specially with SI they've always been pretty strict about keeping the Rookies as anonymous as possible

well, clearly they're not going to be anonymous anymore if they're posting pics of the casting. before, SI swim never had a daily obligation to provide website content. i expect we'll see somewhere around 20-40 casting calls for maybe, what, 6 rookie spots in the issue?

SI has over 100 models to post shit about every single day for a year, SI Editors have mentioned several times that they see over 100 models every year. They're probably showing just the girls that agreed to be on SwimDaily regardless of the results of the casting. I doubt Barbara Palvin, Catherine McNeil, Joan Smalls or someone with a name and ego big enough would agree to do so with the risk of being rejected by the magazine. A lot of girls keep quiet about big castings (like VS or SI) just so they don't have to deal with people knowing they got a No for answer.

As for Emily, hell no ... Do NOT want, nice body but the face, just :no:

I really like Barbara F so far! And thats it! I hope Xenia goes to the castings again this year! :D Now she has done more work and got more publicly know, I see a good chance for her this year!

SI started tweeting pics from the 2013 shoot around mid-may 2012. if they're on a similar schedule, they've only got about 6-7 weeks before shooting for 2014. so they'll have to pick rookies soon.

just going by the casting calls they've had on swimdaily, they've interviewed 6 girls over 15 days. at that rate, they'll have another 20 or so over the next 6-7 weeks. their pace might pick up soon, but i still say 30-40 interviews is more accurate than "hundreds". (i'd imagine they look through agency books with hundreds of girls, though, so that's probably what they're referring to in the media)

maybe you're right that some girls don't want it known that they interviewed if they don't get the job, but i really doubt that 60-90% of their casting calls are not posted on the website. then again i guess we'll see. if the 2014 issue contains several rookies who didn't show up on swimdaily casting calls, you'll be proven right.

Xenia confirmed casting next week :) hope she gets it this year.

woohoo! especially since SI south africa is no more!

For newbies: Shanina Shaik, Marie-Ange Casta, Emanuela De Paula, Dioni Tabbers, and perhaps Barbara Palvin and Sara Sampaio.

To return: My girl Michelle Vawer, Emily Didonato, Kate Upton, and Nina Agdal, I would say Cintia but she doesn't seemed to be that into SI like that anymore and it shows with her recent pictures/interviews with them I also HATE the way the photoshop/air brush her.

Posted

^ I (sadly) doubt Michelle will ever be back, as far as i remember the only model who did SI for one year, took a break and then came back was Ariel Meredith. I'm still waiting for Jeisa Chiminazzo or Kim Cloutier to be back but I lost all hope already.

Fingers crossed for Xenia, I'd love to see her doing SI. Specially because the girls from SwimDaily aren't exciting so far.
