ROTY Revisited: 2012, 2013

More years, more rookies to second-guess.

2012: Who won?
Nina Agdal.


Who should have won?
Probably Nina Agdal. She was a pillar of the magazine whose 6 years far outdistanced the rest of the 2012 class, who all had one- or two-year stints in the magazine.

But I sure loved Michelle Vawer.


If I’d been voting, I would have picked this elfin beauty (and brought her back for many more issues).

2013: Who won?
Kate Bock.


Who should have won?
Emily DiDonato.


I love Queen Kate II, and I’m glad to keep having her back, but Emily had a rare appeal to me. Her eyes alone put her in the SI pantheon.

In the third and fourth years, I’m starting to diverge from SI’s official choices…
