Calendar Girls, Revisited: 1996, 1997, 1998

This rounds out all the models I know of who were born during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Desk Calendar years.

In 1996, Vendela stretched out in a pretty white one-piece and welcomed 2018 rookie Alexis Ren on November 23.


1997 brought us two more 2018 rookies: Robin Holzken (April 19, welcomed by a silver-bikini'd Rebecca Romijn)...


...and Chase Carter (June 10, welcomed by a sand-duned Manon).


And finally, in 1998, Taylor meets Sailor! Sort-of-2018-rookie Sailor Brinkley Cook arrived on July 2, welcomed by Niki Taylor in a pretty green bikini.

And Sailor, who as of this writing is 20 years, 38 weeks, and 5 days old, is the youngest SI swimsuit girl in existence.

That record may be broken in about a month and a half, when we have the full rookie class and all their disturbingly recent birthdays.

Hit the Hammock Button

Well well well, Swim Daily.

Wherever did you get the idea for featuring SI models in hammocks?


Not here, that's for sure.

Anyway, if I am to compete, I must go deeper in my cuts, like Annie Morton here, one-hit wonder from 2002.


...And here's a more recent one that neither Swim Daily nor I had snapped up yet: Bregje Heinen from 2014.

One-Boob One-Piece Wednesday

What have we here? Another addition to the one-piece-exposing-one-breast collection.


This is from a gif on the SI Swimsuit Facebook page.

Is this Robin Holzken? I think it is... Honestly not sure, but what the heck, here are some nice red one-piecers with Robin in them.

Hold On To Your Butts

I think my girl for the model search this year is Manuela Hernandez.


She's pure-sex-in-a-bikini.


And she's a great girl to feature for this year's Butt Appreciation Day. Almost every photo they feature on the Final Six page showcases her amazing rear end.


Also among the finalists are the butts of Brooks Nader, Jessica Aidi, and Erin Willerton.


Good luck to these girls as they battle for 2020.

Among the butts that did not make the cut are Allyn Rose, Anna Fritzdorf, and Laura Elizabeth Woo.


(Allyn Rose would have been a great addition because it would have allowed me to do a "Rose is a Rose is a Rose" pun with Pania Rose and Rose Bertram, but alas, it is not meant to be.)
