This year's SI swimsuit edition cover model is ...

That's funny, because that time it was my brother and I who "confiscated it" and shredded the thing putting all the pictures all over our room. "Hey Dad, SI? Nope, haven't seen it....."

my Mt Rushmore of SI swimsuit cover models:
Kathy Ireland
Elle Macpherson
Cheryl Tiegs
Kate Upton

 

No way I'm cutting my list down to four.
But I'd say the Grand Tetons are the better setting.

 

Most of them are lovely in a fantasy shopping for ways I'd like my own parts to look sense. These two pictures look very, very 'shopped, though. The college boyfriend who dragged me to the Memphis Davis-Kidd while I was sick with the flu so he could get a copy of the Rolling Stone Hot Issue with Wynona Ryder on the cover played a role in my decision to never get married.

 

That cover photo of Martha Stewart hardly even looks like a swim-suit shot.

It's more like a bathing suit cover-up shot. And it doesn't do anything for her. That cover-up looks like it's part of a couture gown, or something.

 

“Hey, no fair! Our photos weren't 'shopped back then. ... ... ... They were airbrushed!”

 

Cheryl Tiegs. Fishnet. I need say no more. Game ovah.

 

Christie Brinkley. Elle Macpherson. Kathy Ireland. Kate Upton.
And Gayle King.

 

To be slightly fair, I guess, this continues the SI practice of multiple cover models. This year's are King, Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen and Hunter McGrady.

 

I have a hard time just watching Gayle King attempt to read a teleprompter and ad-lib (without stumbling) while clothed in business attire.
No desire to see her posed in a swimsuit.

 

Forget GILF, she's old enough in some states to be a GGILF.
