Ah, this should be fun. Swim Daily is counting down the
50 Greatest Swimsuit Models this week. They’re unveiling 10 a day, so they’ve
already shown us who’s cracked the bottom of the list.

| Thanks, Lexus! And Brooklyn, Tyra, and Kate’s cleavage! |
I’ve hastily assembled my 50 favorite, so I can release my
picks parallel to theirs.
I expect a pretty significant difference between the lists.
First of all, I tend to get obsessed with some fairly unknown models after just
one appearance. (Hello
Kenza,
Jeisa and
Lucia!) Also, I suspect SI will stack
the top of their list pretty heavily with current models, as a bit of a
marketing move. It wouldn’t look very good if their current crop—your Kate
Uptons, your Irina Shayks, your Alyssa Millers, your Nina Agdals—couldn’t crack
the top 10.
And if you are a regular reader of this blog, you probably
already know who my #1 is.
I guess my full disclosure is that the list reflects my
personal tastes of the day, with factors like the model’s fame, or number of
appearances, or importance in the industry, or legendary status, acting as
factors in some undefinable way.
So let’s get to the fun, arbitrary rankings.

| 50: Lucia Dvorska |
Fragile, dark Lucia. Why did we have you for just one
fleeting February?
 |
| 49: Selita Ebanks |
 |
| 48: Laetitia Casta |
 |
| 47: Audrey Quock |
 |
| 46: Jeisa Chiminazzo |
 |
| 45: Anne V |
I love Anne's longevity. (She's been identified with some
certainty as one of the models in the 2014 preview shots, which would mean
she'll be in a record ten consecutive issues.) She's always struck me as a bit
more "fashion model" than "cheesecake model," though I
quite liked her 2013 shots.
 |
| 44: Rachel Hunter |
A pretty low ranking for a favorite, as pointed out in the
comments section. I love Rachel, but she kind of struck me as a solid, reliable
presence rather than a superstar. (Though
this shot is probably one of my
favorite photos in all of SI.)

| 43: Isabeli Fontana |
 |
| 42: Daniella Sarahyba |
How could you deny Her Royal Smileness a spot?
 |
| 41: Ingrid Seynhaeve |

Hahaha! One of my most favorite Swimsuit models in the bottom ten! We'll have to agree to disagree. ;)
I'm curious, which one is she? I'm sure I'll second-guess myself all over the place.
(Plus, I wouldn't say "bottom 10." I prefer "top 50!")
Rachel Hunter. Probably more sentimental attachment by now, though. That's a cool pic, by the way. Thanks for sharing.
