In a world where Maxim, FHM, and Victoria’s Secret exists… is the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue still relevant? Yeah, but probably more so for the the generation such as myself, that remembers when it was the only “game” in town. Well, that and the lingerie section in the JC Penny catalog. So in honor of the 2008 edition, my Fave-Five SI swimsuit models:
5. Daniela Pestova
Cover model in 1995, 2000 and 2006
4. Josie Maran
Was briefly on Dancing With the Stars, getting knocked out in the first show. I guess they are serious about the dancing.
3. Marisa Miller
The 2008 cover model was probably born in a bikini and looked good doing it.
2. Laetitia Casta
Somehow, never made it to the cover. Also seen in various VS and Guess ads.
1. Petra Nemcova
2003 cover girl, better known now as a tsunami survivor and for her charity work.
