Do You Have What It Takes?

I was struck by the title: "What Does It Take to Be a Sports Illustrated Cover Girl? Here’s How Kate Upton Did It".  Apparently we have a shot-- if you believe what SI Swimsuit issue editor MJ Day.

Day told OMG from Yahoo: “Obviously, the cover is very special, and how we look at it now is it’s more than a photograph, it’s a story,” Day revealed. "That photograph encompasses everything you want, it’s a story. It’s a perfect picture with perfect light, a perfect smile, a perfect face and incredible backdrop. There is so much more to it than a pretty girl on a beach. It’s more than a picture."

Reallllllyyyyyyy??? Ha ha. Ok- so she's not on a beach, I'll give them that... but really- is anyone looking at the background?

After I read that quote- I admit, the rest of the article kinda sounded like the teacher on the Peanuts movies. I just kept giggling. No, I'm not hating on the SI models. I actually love looking at it. If you'd like to read more- please click HERE.
