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

Is there any point to the SI swimsuit issue other than to generate buzz and get people to talk about it? Continuing mission accomplished.

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

Gave ya a like, but we need the Just Say No Bear for the "ILF" part.

I think the '78 issue with Cheryl Tiegs in the white mesh suit was my first one. My parents confiscated it and wouldn't let me have it. I was super pissed, until I realized I had other friends with the issue.

If SI really wanted to "stimulate" sales, it would do someone in mesh again ... excluding Gayle King, of course.

Every year. You look at the cover model and think, "There could never be a more beautiful woman."
Then the next year, "Wow, she is even more beautiful than last year."
Then the next year .........


I have to admit, I had completely forgotten about Stacey Williams. I guess I lied back in the day when I said I would never forget her. Thanks for the memory, Batman.

And then, there came along Petra Nemcova. She was stranded for 18 hours clinging to a palm tree after a tsunami.

My gosh. I'd forgotten about Stacey Williams.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, has parlayed absolutely zero talent and an ability to attach oneself at the hip to a famous person at the start of the latter's ascension quite like Gayle King. She was terrible as an anchor in Hartford a thousand years ago and she's terrible now, but she's Oprah's BFF so that's enough.

Thus, King is unfirable. There would be boycotts of all CBS programming.
She was "almost" tolerable when Rose and O'Donnell were carrying the CBS News morning program.
I like Burleson, who is a multi-dimensional talent, but haven't watched in months.

And in May? The timing was perfect in the first issues, between the Super Bowl and March Madness/spring training.

But, hell, we're dealing with the same folks who thought Deion Sanders was Sportsman of the Year.

Is it a "special" or is it just one of the 12 issues they put out each year?

Haven't gotten a swimsuit issue as part of my subscription since 2020, I think. It's not even numbered as part of that volume. Newsstand only now?
