Geez, there are a lot of old ladies and fat women, some of whom didn’t even wear a swimsuit. I think I used to enjoy this issue back in the days when they featured slim young women who wore nothing but micro bikinis and body paint. Oh-oh! I think I just turned into one of those “back in my day” guys.
Come to think of it, I don’t want to see Martha Stewart in a swimsuit, so I’m OK with her covering every inch of flesh except her face and instep, and even those have probably been “‘shopped.” I’ll give Gayle King some props – I didn’t want to see her in swimsuits, and certainly not on the cover, but at least she did pose in beach clothing, unlike many of the vintage stars.
There are some highlights:
- Olivia Dunne looks great. She gets my vote for model of the year.
- Lori Harvey is gorgeous, as is Nina Agdal
- I’m not sure who Penny Lane is, but she’s one of the few who actually look good in swimsuits, which is to say she has an hourglass figure.
Here is the summary page, with an index of all models and links to past issues.
