Underboob Monday: Alyssa Miller, 2012
2012 was probably one of most overly airbrushed years in SI history, but it yielded some nice shots regardless. I'm glad they've toned it down a bit.

Thumb-Hook Thursday: Alyssa Miller, 2011
That's such a pretty suit, and Alyssa looks so lovely in it, I think we should gaze at another couple shots, regardless of thumb-placement.

Grand Swimsuitification Theory
A few years ago, I extolled the virtues of Ashley Richardson’s extroversion, linking her with 40 other swimsuit models through SI’s multiple-girl shoots.
There’s another rich vein of connected models, but unfortunately it is mutually exclusive from Ashley’s.
You may remember Julie Henderson’s rookie year, in which she posed with Jessica White on the football field.
Julie also appears in this 3D video with Irina Shayk and Alyssa Miller.
And she pops up in this lovely black and white photo with Brooklyn Decker. The shot doesn’t appear in SI (and in fact there’s no swimsuit to be seen in the photo). But I found it on Walter Iooss’s website, and I can’t think of any other campaign those three people have all been part of, so I’m going to count it as an SI-adjacent photo.
Brooklyn, of course, is good friends with Chrissy Teigen, and this behind-the-scenes photo of the two of them is from an SI shoot.
And Chrissy’s cover provided a nice threesome with Lily Aldridge and Nina Agdal.
Nina disguised herself as Valeria Mazza alongside a Tyra Banks-ified Ariel Meredith.
Ariel took her Route 66 road trip with Ashley Smith, Hannah Ferguson, and Sara Sampaio.
And of course Sara’s rookie year paired her up with fellow rookie Gigi Hadid.
So we have a string of 13 girls. I wish there was a way to connect this group with Ashley Richardson’s group, but for now they remain mutually exclusive.
I could EASILY link them — and add lots more models — if I counted this “Legends” group photo. However, despite the bared midriffs and heaved cleavage, I consider these models to be fully clothed, so in my heart I must leave them apart.
(I also strongly suspect that not all the Legends are actually in the same shot. Kathy in particular looks Photoshopped in.)

Turning Back the Pages
This is old news, but here’s Paulina Porizkova wearing nothing but a bikini bottom and a book.
She shared it on her Instagram to endorse the mind-enriching act of reading and also to show off her 52-year-old body.
If she were to pull a Christie Brinkley and pop back into a swimsuit for a few shots with SI, I’d be in favor of that.
She also recently posted this German Vogue cover of Gigi Hadid wearing some sort of jumpsuit festooned with retro Vogue covers.
Paulina’s cover from September of 1986 appears twice on Gigi’s right.
And hey, here’s another Playboy! August of 1987 brought us Paulina in a foldout cover with the bunny hidden in her hair under her left triceps.
Speaking of 80s throwbacks, here’s a preview video of the 2018 swimsuit issue.
I see neon colors, check patterns, and sky-high-cut bikini bottoms. The 80s are back.
And SI can’t seem to stop dressing up their models as previous models. Here are some of the “final 15” from their open casting call, gathered at Miami Swim Week, whatever that was. Most or all of them seem to be wearing bikinis we first saw on other models in previous issues.
Left to right, this is Olivia Jordan, Kate de Paz, Stefanie Rachel, Keyeriah Miles, Kayla Fitzgerald, and Dessie Mitcheson.
Olivia is wearing Marisa Miller’s suit from the 2008 cover.
Kate’s bikini is similar, though not identical, to Myla Dalbesio’s from last year.
Keyeriah is clearly invoking Irina Shayk from 2011.
And Dessie is dressed as Hannah Davis from 2015.
If Stefanie’s and Kayla’s are from other years, I haven’t been able to place them. They both look like the kind of candy-colored bikinis we saw on Alyssa Miller from 2011, but I have nothing conclusive.
Anyway, we’re getting closer! I’m looking forward to it, but in kind of a mild, matter-of-fact way. I’m hoping to get more excited as time goes on.

Those We Lost: Alyssa Miller
Alyssa is another surprise. She seemed like a great fit for SI. She combined the dark/sporty/fun intersection very nicely, and they even had her recreate Babette March’s first-ever cover.
Bon voyage, Alyssa!
