Fruit Friday: Solveig, 2015

A little behind-the-scenes pic I found somewhere of Solveig, captured moments after she discovered gravity.

Good lord, this woman.

Bo-nus: Here she is sheltering in place with Solveig.

Calendar Girls, Revisited: 1995

Stacey Williams ushered in a couple wonderful models in 1995. Unfortunately, I fear they are both destined to be one-hit wonders.


On January 9, Stacey oversaw the arrival of Raven Lyn. Raven was one of the 2018 models I was most excited about, but there's been no word of her participating in the 2019 shoots thus far.

 Hailey Clauson, however, has been accounted for in 2019.

And on March 7, 1995, her birth was celebrated by an underrated one-hit wonder in her own right, Jenny Brunt.

Another one-and-done girl, Solveig, arrived on April 13, heralded by her fellow one-name wonder Vendela.

Stacey's second one-hit wonder of the year is the deeply mourned Kelly Gale, on May 14.

On June 4, Ingrid Seynhaeve welcomed Georgia Gibbs. No sign of Georgia making a return appearance this year.

And finally, we have a week where neither the birthday girl nor the calendar girl is a one-hit wonder. Gigi Hadid (2014, 15, 16) and Kathy Ireland (1984, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, deep breath 96).

That’s the Way the Rookie Crumbles 2016

Time for my annual congrats to the rookies who returned and farewell to those who didn’t make it back another year.

It was another largely successful crop, with five survivors and only two who didn’t come back. I’m proud to say that my predictions for what 2015 rookies would see 2016 were solid. My top five returned, my bottom two did not.

I don’t care what y’all say, I think Kelly Rohrbach is mouthwatering.

Especially in a sweet one-piece.

And of course Hailey Clauson, she of the bewilderingly low ROTY voting, got herself a cover and an array of great shots.

Including this awesome one-piece.

And I’m thrilled to see the bubbly Rose Bertram is back and as bubbly as ever.

With no one-pieces to her name, but I forgive her.

I can’t put my finger on why, but I had a feeling Ashley Smith and Solveig wouldn’t stick around. Much like Shannan Click a few years ago, they didn’t seem to snap into place.

Solveig in particular is very pretty. I’m not sure why she didn’t make a stronger impression on me.

And Ashley? Well, you can’t argue with this butt.

Hate to see you go, Ashley, but I love to watch you leave.

Heel Thyself

A few years ago, I pointed out that the ideal male fantasy was Yamila Diaz in a bikini, surrounded by beer and barbecue.

Oddly, I left out one detail. She’s wearing heels.

A gorgeous girl wearing nothing but a bikini and heels. Is there a more perfect symbol of feminine sexuality?

Horse Appreciation Week: Tuesday

Sometimes you just have to stretch out and lie down on a horse.

Sometimes topless.

Topless Tuesday: Solveig, 2015

Intriguing.

Kelly Comes Rohring Bach

This morning, Erin Heatherton had a hefty lead in the Rookie of the Year voting, which ends today.

But I looked just now, and suddenly Kelly Rohrbach is up.

Whatever amount of faith you put in the legitimacy of the popular vote, a leap from 32% to 35% is pretty steep this late in the game (even more so: a fall from 40% to 32%).

Erin is beautiful.

But I prefer Kelly. I think her face is striking and sexy, and I was a fan of her pics this year.

Though personally, I don’t care that much. I like the models I like, and I leave it at that. If others agree, great. I imagine a win guarantees the model will return the following year, but I don’t even know if that’s true.

I'm a fan this year of Kelly, Rose, and Robyn. Each of them has some spark that makes them stand out to me: Kelly’s alluring face, Rose’s bubbly aura, Robyn’s magnificent curves.

I have to say, I’m astonished at how low Hailey Clauson’s percentage is. She’s a freaking bombshell.

Anyway, today looks to be a battle royale between Erin and Kelly. May the best girl win.
