2011 SI Swimsuit

congrats to Irinaaa!!!i'm happy that a brunette got the cover!!!

I don't know why some people say Kate needs a boobies support? Her boob are like PERFECT!

But if she really needs support I can lend her my hands anytime!

Other than me being a pervert... All the girls look the same, swimsuits look the same, body painting is so last century (they really should stop that, seriously) and Irina certainly spend a lot of her time looking through old SI Swimsuit issues (while Ronaldo was flipping through JustUsBoys magazine) because she poses exactly like Paulina Porizkova & Stephanie Seymour

Just one of many examples

I'm pretty sure those poses will have been suggested by the editors. I hate all the self-reference SI has been guilty of this past decade. Come up with something new instead of re-doing your past and selling it as an homage... <_<

I agree with you.^^

But Irina's poses are almost a "copycat" of Paulina's ones

Just one of many examples

OMG!!! Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for posting the pics, Prettyphile

Overall I thought it was spectacularly underwhelming :|

Standout shots for me:

Am I the only one who feels Shannan Click is the least attractive SI model ever? I also don't get Esti. She has a nice body, but she's so boring as a model and her round, baby face still puts me off (Upton has the same problem for me). I probably liked Brooklyn, Izabel, and Irina best. I'm glad SI photoshopped Cintia's tattoos - some women can pull off tattoos, she's not one of them.

Overall, the photos are kind of dull to me. On the sexy scale, I don't think a single photo gets above a five out of ten. For the last couple of years it seems like SI has been determined to create the most inoffensive issues they can.

For me, it could be CD instead of SI - full of Cintia.... but I also loved Izabel and Irina and some other girls whose names I don´t remember. Other thank that... love donbot´s standout shots

I agree that the large majority of shots deserve the use of the adjective "bland".

Waiting for a random funny link from Prettyphile.

Genevieve is a mystery to me personally. I think she's one of the hottest girls in this issue, but most of the shots leave me cold... I had the same issue with her shoot last year. Might she be a pretty girl who just doesn't "sparkle" in front of the camera?

And Alyssa is quite the opposite of that. Her shoot isn't quantifiable better, but I want to elope with her and start a family of big-browed kids after almost every shot I see.

I just noticed this cover is another Raphael Mazzucco shot. He's now shot the covers for the 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 issues. He doesn't seem very creative to me, but SI really loves this guy. But at least that makes next year's covermodel easier to guess: whoever is dating someone famous + being photographed by Mazzucco = covermodel.

Btw, here is Irina on TODAY this morning. You get to see her look visibly annoyed when they mention Ronaldo.

Here's some real HD screencaps from the West Coast feed of the Today Show interview. Not very many angles to choose from. Plus who knew she was quite adept at Cold War jokes!

BTW, Matt Lauer mentioned that Irina will be in Vegas tonight, so it's safe to say that Irina filmed her interview yesterday with Letterman (probably a quick dress change).

And Alyssa is quite the opposite of that. Her shoot isn't quantifiable better, but I want to elope with her and start a family of big-browed kids after almost every shot I see.

I'm not a big Alyssa fan, but I'd love to take her and Hilary and have a threesome in which I pretend they're sisters.

In my fantasy, they're just cousins.

Leryn is not a big surprise but her shoot is awesome :|
