Brush with Greatness

Normally, I am of the opinion that the bodypaint should be left to the models. But this year's painted athletes—each making her second appearance in the swimsuit issue—make a great showing.

Also of note: All three suits are one-piecers, which are rarer than painted-on bikinis.

I think each athlete made as good an appearance, if not better, than her previous outing.
