I'm taking a massive legal risk by posting this, but tradition is tradition.


Happy St. Patrick's Day, from Ireland.

One-Piece Wednesday: Gigi Hadid, 2016

And lest we forget, it's also One-Piece Wednesday.


I thought I'd share some suitable butt-celebratory shots of Gigi in a might-as-well-not-be-wearing-it swimsuit from her last year with the magazine.


Thanks for your service, Gigi. Hope this eases your heartbreak.

Butt Appreciation Day 2018

Over the last week, I called out Babs and Lais as competing for the coveted title of Swimsuitologist's Favorite Current Model. I thought I'd add a third contender. The knee-melting Vita Sidorkina.


In a couple of very special shots from 2018.


(SI. How many times do I have to tell you? Find a better place for your stupid logo.)

Anyway, I'd happily have this triumvirate as a nice, solid core of the swimsuit issue for the foreseeable future.

That’s the Way the Rookie Crumbles 2018

There was a pretty high retention rate from 2017 to 2018. Out of seven girls, five stuck around.


Bianca was the Rookie of the Year, so she was pretty much a lock.


Danielle, who I have to admit I thought was unlikely to return, came back with a great cover.


Lais, Myla, and Vita were three of my favorites, and I love having them back.


The newly minted one-hit wonders are Kelly Gale and Mia Kang.

I never got a chance to get into Mia Kang.


But Kelly Gale is a huge loss.


Miss her already.

Topless Tuesday: Lais Ribeiro, 2018

In my last post, I mentioned that Barbara might be my favorite current model. But Lais gives her a run for her money.


Her 2018 shots are even better than last year's.

Thumb-Hook Thursday: Barbara Palvin, 2018

Barbara Palvin is magnificent.


For some reason, I felt her first year in the swimsuit issue seemed a little... hesitant?


Her second year was fantastic. And now?


I think her 2018 shots establish her as my favorite current SI model. She can do no wrong.


And in keeping with my nostalgia kick, this little number she wears:


...reminds me of this Jill Goodacre poster I had in my room in the late 80s.


SI, hold on to this girl as long as you can.
