The gay in me screams that "this isn't fashion!" and "these aren't models!" They're Maxim-type cover skanks! But the "Sports Illustrated" Swimsuit Issue is some sort of American icon, and here's this year's collection of bikini girls with machine guns. Marissa Miller is this year's cover girl, and here she is along with the other girls at a press conference. She looks like Carrie Underwood. This is beauty? A pleasant surprise is that SI insists all the girls put down the handle end of the toothbrush down their throats and start chowing. That's cool. Model Julie Henderson says "They were like, 'You're too skinny. Start eating cheeseburgers.' That's when I was like, This magazine's for me." Hell yeah, why do you think I'm gracing the cover of "Pale Doughboys Monthly" for February? Their craft services table has fried Twinkies!

LOL - Pale Doughboys Monthly. Put me down for a 2 yr subscription!
Nanc' says:
Oh, these ladies eat cheeseburgers. Of course, they also throw them up as soon as they are done OR they divide one, little cheeseburger into 4 pieces.
I'm not saying that's necessarily a "bad" thing. They get paid millions for it.
littleblonde says:
ok, I think that Marissa Miller just looks really old and sun damaged....she looks downright frightening in some of the Victoria's Secret catalog photos. In ten years, she's gonna frighten little children.
silvarga says:
littleblonde - MM's supposed "California Beauty" confuses me too.
J. - Wait so does that mean you're also calling a Heidi Klum a skank too?
N says:
OMG! J., I love you for that The Cramps reference. You are too beautiful for words, my twinkie-boo.

Nancy says:
She is so beautiful, but someone said she joined the famous millionaire&celebs club (MillMatch.com) , true or not? If yes, i just wonder what she is doing with that dating service? she wants to find a rich man for extramarital relationship?
Zekers says:
Fabulust, I agree, she actually looks a lot like Christie Brinkley.
Laura says:
OMG what are u talking about?
they're models, they are suppose to be skinny bc they look "fatter" on the photos.
So in order to still look skinny, they have to be even skinnier.
Marisa Miller is just gorgeous, I think ure just a very unhappy person whos jealous of her.
