Graafic Content

Valerie van der Graaf is the latest rookie. (A lot of these are models whose names are definitely familiar to me, but I wouldn't have been able to pick out of a lineup. Nice to put faces—etc—with the names!)

Also, Um ... Huh?

I'll just leave this here.

Killer Miller

Some nice photos (and some almost unrecognizable photos) of Alyssa Miller in Intimissimi lingerie, care of Brosome a few days ago.
Not sure if they're new or just new to me!

UPDATE:
Some nice outdoor shots here. Still doesn't quite look like her though.

Gilding the Lily

The latest rookie is Victoria's Secret model and abs enthusiast Lily Aldridge.
Seen here sporting a Sports Illustrated watermark on her bikini bottom.

Cover to Be Revealed on Valentine's Eve

This just in: According to Darcie Baum's Twitter feed, the cover will be revealed on Thursday night.
A few things:

This is way early, and I wonder if it's an effort to keep the cover from leaking. (Although it technically just forces any leaks to leak earlier...)

Sounds like SI and Letterman have parted ways.

And, this seems like the cover will be revealed before the last couple of rookies are, assuming one will be revealed Friday and on the following Monday.

Happy Birthday, Samantha Hoopes

The latest rookie to be revealed is the lovely Samantha Hoopes, 23 today.
In this photo, and the others I've found online, she looks partway between Marisa Miller and Nina Agdal, which is nothing to complain about.

However, the rookie class, despite featuring twelve models, is looking pretty monochromatic. I would love to see a bit more racial variety, especially in the wake of last year, with its rookie class of four white chicks.

Of course, none of this takes away from Samantha up there, with her sexy half-smile. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of her!

UPDATE:
As if in answer to that last sentence, Swim Daily just updated their photo so you can see all of Miss Hoopes's (Tori Praver!) one-piece.

Za Milyh Dam!

Irina Shayk was put forth as the platonic ideal of Russian femalehood in the Olympics opening ceremony.
