SympathysSilhouette Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Are those her sisters or cousins in the third picture? Quote
TheDude2k Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 @SympathysSilhouette Cousins I would assume. Perhaps even nieces, but I'm not aware that Mel has any siblings. Quote
RIP_Cabrini_Green Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Absolutely flabbergasted she has yet to be in a S.I. Swim issue. Quote

With the direction SI Swim has been heading the last few years, Mel is too hot and does not meet the body positivity/inclusion requirements that the majority of SI "models" are today, especially after today's issue launch.

Right, Carmella doesn't check the right combo of geriatric, fat, or dude in order to get in SI Swim Quote

On 2nd thought, Mel shouldn't do SI Swim. They'll just figure out a way to make her look bad, if it's even possible for Mel to look bad. Quote
DaveKBaton Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Crazy idea. Get enough people together that committ to actually buy enough copies of the swimsuit edition if they were to put Carmella in it. Sad truth is that sexy has not been a big driving factor in print magazines for a very long time. As sad as it is ... the voices complaining about SI putting unattractive people in their Swimsuit edition are either A) the minority and not enough to offset the expense or B) weren't going to buy it anyway.

TheDude2k Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 I concur. Print is now obsolete, so the SI Swim edition can no longer compete when you can see IG models, like Mel, without the editorial middle-man. Mel 24/7 via IG vs. one print edition per year... the choice is simple. And the prestige of being featured in SI Swim is fading now that the publication is propaganda for DEI candidates as opposed to the embodiment of the ideal looking woman. Same could be said for VS and VSFS. SI Swim used to launch supermodels' careers: Elle, Heidi, etc. Now, they just feature a very loose definition of "models". Quote
