Sadly..I am in agreement, with most of what people say. But I'd never say it so meanly lolu know people on TFS... they peepee Chanel perfume and they poopoo Vogue pages.
I also agree on few things but no need to attack Kate like this. It's just a swim magazine after all.
I don't mean about Kate...I'm ambivalent towards her.
I was speaking about the photoshop and how crappy the mag has gotten lately. Nothing to do with the models really.
oh ok.
I'm ambivalent towards Kate too since few month but I lover her boobs and so... she won me with that!
...for now!
& I think she fits SI perfectly.
But I really miss the Heidi, Tyra, Daniela & Laetitia SI time.

Update : 2013 will be SI Swim's 50th anniversary. Apparently they're doing something special the entire year and I expect that next years issue will be something epic *hopefully*. Maybe we'll see a return of the late greats. Marisa, Tyra, Heidi, Petra, Casta, Yamila, Christy and the like?

Thanks for Genevieve SCANS ![]()
Thanks for the scans Pretty + Pheno ![]()
Great seeing Tori in the mag again too, even if it's just adverts.

<-- One of the best shots I've seen so far ![]()

I got fudge.. I should be good in a few minutes to start back up, almost done!

I would have to agree and I'm not even a fan of Crystal. She definitely had the best poses and she makes doing a side plank and the crab walk look easy. What she lacks in traditional beauty she definitely makes up for in her posing.

I'm not a fan of Nina, but here... I think she's wonderful ... beautiful body, beautiful pics... my favorite this year ![]()
I'm a little disappointed with Bar, beautiful body, but I do not like the pictures and she is with a very strange face in some pics ![]()
I also expected more of Irina, I do not even like her body in these pics ![]()
I do not like kate's body, but there are some pretty pictures, the ones where she is with the white top I love ![]()
I love the body of jessica perez ![]()

Those are the best scans I've seen for a long time.........great job........... :lost:

Thanks for the scans Pheno&Pretty for the scans! I like the pictures they have in the magazine, at least they chose decent pictures.

Thanks Pheno and Prettyphile for getting all the scans up! They look amazing!
The best for me were Alyssa and Michelle. I thought like everyone else that the photoshop was really bad and I noticed it especially on Alyssa since I looked through all her pictures first, so I am glad the actual pictures in the magazine don't look as bad as the ones on the site. Same for Michelle. Her pictures in the actual magazine are way better, which of course I expected but I was kind of worried since the ones on the site her face was kind of awkward. I am sure she can get better if they have her return next year. She is really cute
Other than that I really like Kate and Nina. Kate was really one of the best which makes me go back to not really liking her cover. She had so many better shots but it's fine because overall she looked amazing
I thought Nina did an amazing job and she fits SI so well. Cintia and Kirby were really pretty too. I think Irina looked beautiful too but I was surprised they brought Bar back just to have her pictures turn out like that ![]()
The rest of the models I am pretty much indifferent to but I like enough of the girls that I still want to pick up the magazine ![]()

ok i breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing scans of the magazine itself, which definitely has some cool photographs in it and isn't entirely basic catalogue shots. i think there are some truly beautiful pics.

I just got the iPhone/iPad/iPod App for this year, same shit as the magazine or website -literally, exactly same pictures AND videos- so do not waste your $6.99 on it because you've seen it all already.

They should make me editor in chief for SISI 2013.
Three things are all but guaranteed:

After seeing all the pictures, well I cant say I really love this, but I don't hate it either.
I have nothing against Kate, but did they really have to put that swimsuit for a cover ? The top is
and the bottom
I understand they're trying to appeal to men, but seriously it could have been better.
My main problem with this is the photography. None of the photoshoots have a distinctive "style" so to speak, they all look the same to me and it gets repetitive after a while.
About the models, I didn't know Nina and I really liked her shoot. Crystal on the other hand was rather disappointing. She doesn't really look "alive" in her photos, and isn't she supposed to be a plus-sized model ? I see absolutely no difference with the other models.

My issue with the cover is not the bikini, but the fact that it is clearly one of the weakest shots of the shoot. How can they not see that? ![]()
