5.0 out of 5 stars Very Sexy! Especially the Body Painting!, January 31, 2005

By	Jenifer M (Orange County, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

I watched this video in mixed company and I ended up liking it much more than I thought I would. The movie is hosted by Melissa Keller, who is a cute-as-a-button blonde supermodel who wears a two-piece string bikini while she's hosting (which was OK by me), and Jake Johannsen, a bearded comedian who says the stupid sexist things that every guy is thinking, but that Melissa dismisses as she quickly cuts to the next scene.

Of the segments with bikinis, my favorite was the first where Marissa Miller and Melissa Keller both wake up early near Iowa cornfields - and wear gauzy see-through top swimsuits - where the girls might as well have been topless for all that was revealed. But the women soldier on despite the cold and lack of sleep, and they genuine appear to enjoy what they're doing, as do the rest of the girls in this video.

There's a nice segment with Anna Kournikova and Serena Williams also in swimsuits. Anna looked every bit as good in a white bikini as she did on the wall poster in my baby brother's room. And Serena looked like a younger - and just as sexy -- version of Tina Turner! She has Tina's great hips - and Tina's million dollar legs. (Must've come from all that tennis, huh?)

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary Swimsuit Edition (of the magazine), a Who's Who of ex-swimsuit models was assembled, including Elle McPherson, Paulina Porozkova, Christie Brinkley, Tyra Banks, and my favorite, Cheryl Tiegs. Elle especially looked great (as she does modeling her lingerie line which is available here on Amazon). Cheryl, unfortunately, was starting to age a bit, but parts of her - her magnificent breasts, especially - were every bit as beautiful peeking out over her banded-waistband swimsuit as they did when she emerged from the water in a similar outfit years-ago on the cover of SI (Sports Illustrated).

The sexiest scene, though, was the body painting segment where selected girls endure eight hours to have their bathing suits painted on. It must've been pretty tiresome to stand for that length of time without moving. And the funny parts of the scene come when the women also inform us that it's necessary to shave every bit of hair, and when one girl - Melissa, I believe - squirms when the artists apply that last bit of paint deeply between her cheeks! Amazingly, when their painted bikinis are done, it's actually hard to tell that the girls are completely naked underneath. Fortunately, the women with the perkiest breasts were selected to undergo this transformation, so they look every bit as supported as they would've if their bathing suit tops had been real!

Like many videos of this type, there aren't any lengthy views of the girls in selected poses (other than the still photographs flashed on screen). Everything seems like behind-the-scenes footage. So if you were to imagine watching a documentary on how to shoot a `Sports Illustrated' Swimsuit magazine edition, I think you'll know what to expect. I ended up liking this disc a lot! I hope you will too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate S.I. Swimsuit perv, IL, April 16, 2004

By A Customer

All I can say is wet, sheer, fishnet and see-thru. I have seen all of the S.I. videos and this one is by far the most revealing. Ohh, did I mention there is some areola. This is the sexiest/naughtiest one to date. A must buy for S.I. Swimsuit fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the actual swimsuit issue, February 27, 2004

By	none (Goleta, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Marisa Miller's photo shoot in Iowa is some of the hottest footage of a swimsuit model ever committed to film. Marisa Miller, Bridget Hall, and Ana-Beatrice Barros all all looked absolutely stunning. The only complaint I have is the extremely annoying "comedian" co-hosting the show with Melissa Kellar.
