Jessica deserved a cover.

She put together an eight-year reign, which is impressive. 2009 was her sixth appearance.
This
might not be the best photo of her — there are plenty that make a
beautiful display of her full, stellar body — but there’s something
about this one that makes me stop and stare.
There are several layers of teasing here.
There’s the direct and confident eye contact, almost a dare directed at the viewer.
Then
her top is undone, which is a standard go-to teasing move. The
thumb-hook, the free-hip, the objects-as-improvised-top — the hint at
impending nudity is a button SI presses regularly.
And
there’s something sexy about that bite. Mouths are easily sexualized,
whether the model is biting a hot dog or a straw or her fingernail. But
offhand, I can’t think of another photo in all of SI history where the
model is closing her mouth around her own swimsuit.
And
I know not everyone is as perverted as I am, but I can’t be the only
person whose mind drifts to a gag being gently inserted between her
teeth? No? Just me? Moving on.
Jessica was a solid and statuesque beauty with a long and gorgeous tenure. One of the greats of her decade.
