Remember when Swim Daily threw shade at Kanye+Kim because Kanye said Kate Upton shouldn't be compared to Marilyn Monroe, since Kim K was the real Marilyn of the modern age? I do.
Besides being a sex symbol and Hollywood icon, Monroe shagged Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller and the fucking POTUS!
At the least. The word is that she was shared around and at the end it got her killed. Poor woman. Really tragic life and she's constantly being mentioned as some kind of idol. I would never wish her life on anyone.
I think a lot of bullshit was written and told about her. I'm sure she lived an ultimately unhappy life, but probably only 5% of the stories about her are true.

Rose Bertram is today's rookie...

Not a very flattering pose or shot.

Wow I already adore her ![]()
I think she can really show herself in that pose oO

Not a very flattering pose or shot.
I agree. She looks good in the video though so hopefully the other shots will be much better.

not a fan of her hair but she look good in the video, great body
i like the pose ![]()

^ Of course you would if it was Mia or Sasha on the cover
And I'm so bad that I'm good
Mia Malkova? ^^

Not a very flattering pose or shot.
She's no Candice, that's for sure. Her waist is more Upton-like (on her slimmer days). I guess that's the SI thing now.

But she can really show her big butt off...
Does she have SI's biggest booty? If not who has?

I like her! Maybe its because the curly hair gives here a bit of a different look. Approved ![]()

^Agree, the pose is too unflattering and off proportions, she looks way better in motion tho.
Still not amazed by any of the rookies.... :morning:

At least, a girl with buns again for SI....

The problem is not her body or body type, but that particular pose just does not flatter her shape.
Don't understand why they fail to choose shots that bring out the best qualities of each individual model. ![]()

Rose looks like a great find for SI. Beautiful in the video clip!

+1, Rose looks like the good surprise of the year
More interesting rookie so far for me ! ![]()
Not a very flattering pose or shot.
For once a SI shot is really hot, don't blame them ![]()

I don't mind that pic being 1 out of 40 pics but why do you introduce your model that way? Meet Rose, she's dtf. ![]()

You're right. I know SI fired a lot of their photo staff but goodness gracious, these previews look more FHM than SI. I'm pretty sure they have much better photos to choose from and they should be more careful, especially when they're introducing rookies. First impressions and all that.

Marilyn was more a Rock icon in the end than a classy one...lol If you read her life from Norma Jean to Marilyn ... that's pretty overall negative ... She wanted attention, she got glory...

Rose's video is everything. She is looking more and more to be the best rookie (Y)

Been rooting for her since her casting call.
I agree that the shot they chose of her isn't the best, but she looks amazing in her video.
