How do you feel about SI 2005 magazine

dammit, i just don't think the girls in this issue are that hot. i've never bought the magazine before, but judging from the pics on the website it doesn't seem too good. how can you have an issue without heidi klum, melissa keller, elsa benitez, jose maran, molly sims, etc... even though these models have been in SI for the past few issues, i'm not tired of seeing them. SI added alot of newer upcoming models i guess. at least the cover pic of carolyn murphy looks good. i want to get last years issue and the few issues from the past years. why did SI add so many female athletes, why?!?!?!?! they would have been better off putting a few more models in. aww dammit, i wish i could get those issues from the past few years. SI should be giving us 50% for buying their magazines. dude, wtf, amanda beard, lauren jackson?

didn't last years issue have a cd or dvd?

btw, are the pictures full size in the magazine or are they small pics with text and articles. also, does the website have more pics or does the magazine? how are those trading cards?

My thoughts exactly ssj_trunks

The way guys talk about the SI swimsuit issue, you'd expect to see HQ pics of goddess like models draped in skimpy swimwear..and after seeing these pics it was like "..........."

2002

And 2001

No

I agree to some extent. Nemcova and Veronica Varekova looks great in theirs..but some of the models, even the most beautiful ones (Heidi, Molly Sims etc.) tend to look bad in their SI pictures. They don`t pick the best looking women.

Got my SI today. The pictures always take up the entire page, sometimes both pages. And most of the times they have 1 or 2 fold outs. I was expecting maybe Ana or Marisa to get on the cover but oh well, she made the contents page which is almost as good.

I don't like the 2005 issue!!!

IMO the photos of Petra, Jessica, Marisa & co. are not htat good as 2003-2004. I'm also missing Isabeli

the cover with carolyn murphy looks horrible :x

I don't like the looks of this issue either. I thought Anne (what a surprise!), Oluchi, and Veronika looked fabulous, but the rest were disappointing - even Ana Beatriz, and she looked so fantastic last year.

thats because Anna is a model, and Amanda is an athlete - they hold them to different standards

on another note....i never got the 2000 issue and i have 2001 to now...i just found 2000 on ebay....so im going to bid on it.

mallory snyder. i remember her from the real world paris. she was a bit

crazy si <_<

after watching the spike tv sports illustrated 2005 swimsuit special, i feel that some of the girls are not as bad as i first thought. i think that the editors just pick the worse pics, cause they sure look much better on film.

^Chicken cutlet!

If you haven't read my comments in the other SI section, I will summarize what I said: Worst issue ever. The choice of ugly... models, ahem, is all due to Marisa Miller. GO AWAY MARISA MILLER!

the issue did suck

I think Marisa is a perfect choice for a swimsuit issue. It's not the runway issue or the babes of Brazil issue... although I don't like some of the other ones, such as ABB (I don't see it) and a few of the newcomers.
