They just released their first photo: my girl Lais Ribeiro.

Also, Alexis Ren won Rookie of the Year.
I recognize the name, but I wouldn't have been able to pick her out of a crowd. Apparently she's big on social media, which probably played a part in her landslide win.

Alexis isn't my type, since I prefere a more natural girl, but I think it was a given she was going to win as soon as she revealed as a rookie. No one has the followers she does (although I have no clue why she has actually done to have so many followers). Really wish they didn't do this "award" until the issue was actually out and you could see more than one pic.
But yay for Lais being back! Looks pretty amazing in the Edge shaving gel ad with Robin.
I wonder if the "pre-vote" is a result of Sara and Kelly (and maybe more?) sticking around for just one more issue after they were crowned. Maybe SI feels they can control the narrative somehow and groom a longer-term model if they get out in front of the issue? Half-assed theory, but I can't think of any other reason to pick a ROTY before seeing the issue.
Alexis is pretty. I'll happily look at her bikini pics. My issue with her is that she's kind of a generic brunette. I hope this isn't blasphemy, but I think Sailor Brinkley is kind of a generic blonde. I feel like there's an opportunity to cast more unique, standout models. (This is related to my desire to see them cast FEWER but BETTER.)
But maybe I'm just getting old. I'll never be a teen again, so maybe I'm longing for my lost hormone-riddled adolescence.
