Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2012 : Kate Upton

[Trends]

i suppose you havent seen the videos of the cover star shaking her breasts, have you?

i'm glad other people/other experienced models are speaking out about the issue...

i used to buy the swimsuit issue for inspiration in regards to actually buying swimwear. not anymore...

I've seen VS models shake their breasts and butt at the VSFS, so I guess that makes them wannabe p*rn stars too.
Cheryl Tiegs is obviously unaware that two of her SI covers were the most controversial covers SI ever had. The one agee posted is one of them. Sophia and Cheryl are living in glass houses while they are throwing stones at Kate.

wow some people jsut seem to not see difference in what looks classy and what looks trashy.

Lara stone have many pictures of her naked n i bet you a photo of kate in a mini dress is more screams more sex than than lara's naked pictures.

at the VSFS model are dancing different set. here she is pretty much selling her self Marissa was a full women this girl is 19 yr old! (yes,i said it again,lol)

Cheryl Tiegs's picture is classic and beautiful

IMO some people let Steven Meisel and Carine Roitfeld do their thinking and taste making for them. I think that classy versus trashy is situational and cannot be determined by whether the image is for a high fashion magazine or campaign, a lingerie catalogue or a lad mag. I have seen both exquisite as well as trashy, cheap and / or pornish images produced by the likes of Steven Meisel, Carine Roitfeld, Terry Richardson, Tom Ford, Ellen von Unwerth, Mert and Marcus, Kate Moss, Lara Stone, Candice Swanepoel, Miranda Kerr, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Eniko Mihalik, Tyra Banks and several others.

^I agree. Just because a nude image appears in Vogue or the Pirelli calendar doesn't mean it's classy.

That is true, and I have critisized some of them, too, if I don`t like the style of the photograph. The name of the magazine doesn`t tell everything, so I guess some of us are still capable for thinking by our own

?? This make her a p*rn star? Vulgar? The cover is awful but the videos with Kate are just cute. Why seeing evil when this is just a young girl having fun doing her job? She shakes her breasts? She is not the first one doing it on a photo shoot and not the last one. She is enjoying her youth and I say go girl!

I guess I don't equate a woman's worth with shaking her boobs in a video. And I don't really care what other models say. Cheryl Tiegs has obviously done her fair share of nudity.

i wasnt referencing upton's videos for SI not sure why you jumped to this conclusion- i'm discussing her "viral" videos of course that have millions of views on youtube of her vying to be in a jumbotron at a sporting event. this is the video that made her famous.

there are thousands of comments by viewers in regards to her shaking her breasts there.

my problem with the casting for the cover is that SI is aiming for the lowest common denominator - horny men. they didnt think about appealing to women that used to buy the issue. women are the ones actually buying the swimsuits depicted in the magazine. cover models like bar rafaeli or beyonce appeal to women. it seems like SI has discounted women readership entirely and i think thats a shame.

You do know that Kate was dancing to a song in that video. Beyonce the inspiration of all out there, is the breast and butt shaking performer of her generation and Bar did a SI photoshoot jumping on a trampoline with a bikini on.

I've gone through the whole issue and while it's not my favorite it's not bad. Kate's bathing suit is what's wrong with the cover as I think she's sensational. None of these new covers though compare with Cheryl, Elle, Paulina and Tyra
