Inside the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, you'll find:

• THE ROOKIES:  Meet the new faces in the SI Swimsuit family: Kim Cloutier, Cintia Dicker, Lucia Dvorska, Esti Ginzburg, Jessica Hart, Damaris Lewis, Ariel Meredith and Hilary Rhoda.
• OFF WE GO:  Brooklyn Decker, Jarah Mariano, Bar Refaeli, Hilary Rhoda, Jessica White bring their distinct vibe to Canouan Island, in the Grenadines, the first stop on the ’09 Swimsuit tour.
• NAPLES:  The Swimsuit odyssey continues to mystical lands where Roman, Mayan and Ottoman cultures once flourished, and to volcanic islands that were stepping stones to the New World.  Amid treasures of the past are found pillars of modern beauty with Esti Ginzburg, Daniella Sarahyba and Irina Shayk.
• CAPPADOCIA:  While eyeing a landscape marked by fairy chimneys, underground cities and colorful bazaars, consider the charms of Lucia Dvorska, Julie Henderson, Damaris Lewis and Anne V.
• BODY PAINTING:  Take a guided tour of ancient civilizations that is anthropological, archaeological and topographical. It’s fascinating …really.  Artiste extraordaire Joanne Gair explains the history behind her latest masterpieces on Brooklyn Decker, Julie Henderson, Irina Shayk and Jessica White.
• TENERIFE:  On this rocky and rockin’ archipelago off of Africa, bikinied Cintia Dicker, Jessica Gomes and Tori Praver bring the magma to a boil.
• RIVIERA MAYA:  Surrender yourself to the new conquistadoras – Kim Cloutier, Melissa Haro, Jessica Hart and Ariel Meredith - who stormed this lush coastal paradise and, not surprisingly, encountered little resistance.
• DAN PATRICK BRINGS BROOKLYN IN DA HOUSE:  Four-time SI Swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker dishes on modeling, her man and men in Speedos with SI’s own Dan Patrick.

This issue of Sports Illustrated, Swimsuit 2009, was not as good as previous ones. I love Bar Refaeli. She is my new favorite Super Model. I have her on my cell phone, but not on speed dial, if you know what I mean. There are more foreign models than ever before. I would rather see more American Women on foreign beaches. Some of them I would not consider a perfect 10, which should be a requirement for this issue of this magazine. More Americans, More Tens!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is the worst SI swimsuit issue in years!!, March 17, 2009

As a perennial fan of the SI Swimsuit issue I am sorry to report this issue is not worth the $7 I paid for it! The cover shot is good but it is the best photo in the entire magazine. What is going on at SI? Are you you going through a budget crunch and not getting the top talent any more? There is no sizzle here! There is no adventure here!

If you want a good bikini mag, get a Maxim.
