In its annual Swimsuit Issue 10 years ago, "Sports Illustrated" first presented spectacular photographs of gorgeous models in swimsuits that consisted of nothing more than paint artistically and painstakingly applied to their bodies. These eye-popping optical illusions, created by make-up artist Joanne Gare and captured by the magazine's world-class photographers, have become a favourite feature of this wildly popular magazine. Now the editors bring together not just a complete collection of astonishing painted-swimsuit photographs, but also a series of vastly entertaining essays, stories, and column, some commissioned especially for this book - that trace the history of body painting and take readers behind the scenes as the Swimsuit shoots that are the craft's most modern and provocative application.

oh my oh my oh my....,
By Richard Cumming "dick" (the heartland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sports Illustrated: In the Paint (Hardcover)
SI's annual swimsuit issue is a highly anticipated delight for many afficionados of the female form.
This collection of photos of some of the most beautiful women on the planet features the body painting genius of Joanne Gair. These bountiful babes sure look like they are wearing some nifty swimsuits. NOT! They are all as naked as the day they were born. Wow! I wish I had this to read back when I was in my teen years! Still enjoyable, even now. The perfect gift for that straight male you know, aged teen to octagenarian. He will appreciate your exquisite taste.

Stunning and Beautiful!,
By Wicked Photo Girl (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sports Illustrated: In the Paint (Hardcover)
A beautiful gift for any SI fan, photographer or artist... the book is well put together and done with class. It goes through each year SI has featured the "painted" models with additional, never seen before photos and model comments. Gorgeous color. Great holiday gift.

Outstanding,
This review is from: Sports Illustrated: In the Paint (Hardcover)
The problem with most "Celebrity Nude" books is that the partial nudity requires convoluted poses (hands or arms across breasts) to hide the famous naughty parts. The models come off looking awkward and ashamed. This book conceals just enough to be tasteful but the paint allows natural poses that accentuate rather than detract from her natural assets. You can still enjoy the contours of her figure and the texture of her nipples without the usual hide-and-seek.
If you buy this one, I don't recommend "Exposure" which sufferes from the above faults. Try "Knockouts" which gives you the same women in a better presentation.
