The 2009 Swimsuit Issue takes a journey to four countries with ancient cultures and pillars of modern beauty and makes stops in Naples, Italy; Cappadocia, Turkey; Riviera Maya, Mexico; and Tenerife, Canary Islands. The cover of the iconic magazine is billed, Bikinis or Nothing, and showcases a photo of Brooklyn Decker displaying a map of the world - in only paint!
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, a staple of American popular culture, will reach an audience of more than 66 million and there will be more than 350 million page views on SI.com/swimsuit.
Three smashing tennis players - Tatiana Golovin, Daniela Hantuchova and Maria Kirilenko - make their Swimsuit debut in the Dominican Republic with SI legendary photographer Walter Iooss Jr. The magazine also features 10 NBA dancers representing Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls, New Jersey Nets, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers.
"This issue brings together all of the elements that make SI Swimsuit Issue the most anticipated magazine in the world every year," said SI Group Editor Terry McDonell. "The photography is perfect, the locations make you want to go there yourself and the models are full of surprises."
SI.COM: SI's editors turned the Swimsuit models loose in their cities and asked them to bring back snapshots showing their wild sides - from rookie Lucia Dvorska posing on the bull on Wall Street to Esti Ginzburg doing some laundry beach-style in her apartment building in New York's East Village.

I love all her on this shoot!!
Seems she missed
her glory HF days in that
interview
I think she regrets on something!

 

[thiago:)]

Hilary would make a so much better SI cover. She doesn't look cheap as Bar
To tell the truth the picture with the pink bikini is hot but kinda cheap (sorry ). On the other hand the other ones are really nice.

 

[Kinfairlie Jewel]

It's supossed these 2 pictures were rumored to be the cover:

[Holland Hurrican]

I think all models shot a COVER but not all had a very famous boyfriend

 

[Stamoholic]

^ EVERY year all of the models shoot a potential cover shot.

It's fine to speculate over why Bar got the cover and I know everyone in this thread was hoping Hilary would get it but, think about it, Bar has been at the magazine a while now this was Hilary's first year.

IMO, it makes perfect sense that Bar got the cover. Even if she wasn't dating someone famous, it would make sense for her to have the cover.

Although it would have been amazing, it would have been far more random for Hilary to have landed it this year.

I think she'll stay on at SI, though, and hopefully she's get the cover next year or the year after.

 

[Holland Hurrican]

yeah, it's obvious but it's nice to imagine her on the cover anyway

 

[Stamoholic]

^ Yes, it is. She would and hopefully one day will make a gorgeous SI cover.

 

[PoshKitty]

I wonder if Hilary will come back
to do high fashion after this
AMAZING appearance

Imagine this pic as a cover

SI is not Playboy.

Maybe Hilary doesn't want to walk the catwalks anymore. If she's decided she wants to do SI then IMO that's very cool. She'll be making a ton of cash and it might get VS on to her too, and then she'll be making the big bucks.

I know at TFS we all want to see our fav girls in high fashion, but HF is not the greatest thing on earth, ESPECIALLY not if you're a model!
It pays very little unless you're at the very top and you don't have a long life in HF. Hilary is being smart moving onto the " commercial" ( hate that word) market, where she can still do cool work AND actually make a good amount of money for the work she does

xXx

i agree with everything you say.

 

[Squizree]

Thats true. I want to see Hilary succeed. Id love for her to be rich and on top, but it makes me sad that the only way to really succeed and make big money these days for a model is to strip down to your bikini and show off your boobs. Call me weird but Id rather see models being successful because of their elegance and modest charm rather than their boobs and hot bodies.

Karma. You've been such a great voice in this thread, lately . (Not that you weren't always!)

 

[Stamoholic]

Aaww, you guys are too sweet! Thank you!

I'm really enjoying Hilary's thread. She has some very devoted followers and it's a lovely thing xxXxx

Well HF designers send models down the runway with their boobs and butts hanging out all the time, never mind gratutitous topless pics in "artistic" edits. It may not be as salacious as the commercial side but I think pretty much all modeling trades off on sexuality. (HF just tags it as "pushing boundaries" or being "controversial" or whatever.) I do get what you're saying, though .

 

[Squizree]

^Oh I understand that point. But the sexuality in HF is nowhere near as vivid or intense as the one in commercial modelling like SI and VS. HOwever HF by no doubt includes sexual hints all the time, but thats the kinda sexy I like.
