‘Sports Illustrated’ Swimsuit Issue to Feature 56-Year-Old, Plus Sized, and Bald Finalists

Sports Illustrated has introduced its next slate of finalist models for its upcoming swimsuit issue, and a plus-sized model, a 56-year-old model, and a bald fitness trainer will be among them.

The magazine introduced the six finalists that the magazine touted as its most diverse ever. The finalists were winnowed down from seventeen hopefuls unveiled last October, the Daily Mail reported.

Before this year’s winner is announced, the magazine is set to send the finalists to a photo-shoot conducted in the Turks & Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory southeast of the Bahamas.

The finalists include Philadelphia native Christie Valdiserri, a 25-year-old fitness instructor and dancer whose personal style includes are bald head.

“I was inspired to attend the Model Search in Miami when I finally had enough strength and confidence in myself as a bald woman,” Valdiserri recently said.

Valdiserri added that she wanted to “educate the next generation that beauty comes from who you are, not from what you look like.”

Kathy Jacobs from Calabasas, California, is also a member of the group, but at 56 and silver-haired, is an even more unconventional finalist for the magazine’s most glamorous photo-shoot.

“I’ve entered the SI Swimsuit Model Search and flown to Miami twice,” Jacobs said. “The first time I didn’t make it past the first round. But I didn’t give up! I felt a burning desire to try again and to be part of a change in the way society views women over 50.

Friend of mine worked in a liquor store, and they had a life-size cardboard standup of Kathy Ireland.

Wait, I think I know where this is going.

Tell me, is Sports Illustrated in the business of marketing their magazine to the people who want to buy it, or to the people who want to model for pictures taken to appear in it?

The publishers and editors of Sports Illustrated need to ask themselves why are they in business if the former is not their goal.

“and Kathy Ireland were still young and hot”

I saw Kathy in the waiting area at Atlanta airport about 10 years ago and she was still very beautiful. She has aged gracefully and wore clothes that were classy.

It’s tough being a 13 year-old boy these days.

I hate to break it to ya, but 13 year old boys these days are not getting their excited peeks from magazines these days. There's more stuff available for free online, at the touch of a fingertip, than you could possibly imagine... and nobody balks at a kid staring at a device these days, so they're checking out some raw sex stuff even in the grocery stores and on playgrounds and everywhere else... whereas we could never conceive of peeking at a pilfered dirty magazine in public view back in our day!

OMG! That's got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read! Thanks for the belly laugh!
