Jojo Nabbed It

Josephine Skriver is 2020’s Rookie of the Year.

I don’t think it’s a surprise, as she came in with a pretty solid built-in fan base.

I do wish they’d selected someone a bit more dynamic. The models who grabbed me were Hyunjoo Hwang …

… and Lorena Duran.

Valentina Sampaio looks gorgeous. SI would have gotten a tidal wave of internet backlash from idiots, but it would have been a brave and strong stance.

Josephine is beautiful, but I find her to be a bit of a straightforward, thin, white model who — once again — is captured better by our friends at Victoria’s Secret.

But here’s a nice thumb-hook from her, in honor of the day.

Free-Hip Friday: Lorena Duran, 2020

Lorena comes through with an untied string bikini.

Lorena and Hyunjoo are competing to be my favorite rookie this year. If you're voting, here's where to do it.

Well, the Pics Are Up ...

... but you wouldn't know from any SI swimsuit social media outlet. As of now, their Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are all silent on the fact that, sometime in the wee hours this morning, the photos for the 2020 swimsuit issue went live.

I'm kind of amazed how much of an afterthought this feels like.

Lorena looks great.

Zooming through a few galleries for Topless Tuesday candidates, I noticed an amazing scarcity of topless photos. Normally there are tons, but in quick flips through Haley, Emily, Kim, Hyunjoo, and Josephine, I could count the topless photos on one hand. Maybe it's part of a pivot away from cheesecake.

One-Piece Wednesday: Lorena Duran

Here's the yet-to-be-unveiled 2020 rookie in swimsuits by Victoria's Secret and Johanna Calderón.

Girl is stacked. She's someone I'm looking forward to.

Another month.

Underboob Monday: Lorena Duran, 2020

Lorena is a 2020 rookie, and she's been billed as "Victoria's Secret's first curvy model."

She puts the curves to good use. Looking forward to more.
