Maybe you should rush to the newsstand, because the 2008
edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is out.
And, as you might know already, from the David Letterman’s “The
Late Show”, supermodel Marissa Miller, the girl who ranked ninth in AskMen.com’
annual list of 99 Most Desirable Women, is on the cover.
Wearing nothing but a blue bikini and several strands of a
blue necklace, Marisa Miller makes her first cover appearance. The picture was
taken by Raphael Mazzucco during a two-day shoot on St.
John, U.S. Virgin Islands, last October.
Although this is the first cover for Marissa Miller, she is
no stranger to the Sport Illustrated magazine. She appeared in the Sports
Illustrated for the first time in 2002.
In 2007, the Sports Illustrates has published a set of
pictures of Marissa, who was wearing an iPod. The pictures, made by the same Raphael
Mazzucco, become instantly a hit. She also appeared on the covers of “Vogue”, “Fitness”
and “Shape”.
Last year, Marisa Miller, 30, has made her debut as a model at
the Victoria's
Secret Fashion Show. She married producer Griffin Guess in 2006.
Joining Miller in the issue are several other swimsuit
favorites, such as Brooklyn Decker, Selita Ebanks, Bar Refaeli, Tori Praver,
Daniella Sarahyba, Irina Shayk, Anne V and Jessica White each featured in
unique pictorial essays.
"This is a visually powerful issue with numerous
surprises that underlines the very best of the Swimsuit issue heritage,"
says Terry McDonell, Editor, Sports Illustrated Group. "Creative Director
Steve Hoffman, Swimsuit Editor Diane Smith and Senior Editor Chris Stone have
topped themselves blending the tradition of the Swimsuit franchise with new
themes and treatments that are spectacular."
