Why Isn't Candice Swanepoel on the Cover of S.I. Swimsuit Issue?

Photo Credit: Richie Buxo / Splash News

Last year it was Marisa Miller & this year we got slammed with Israeli bombshell Ms. Bar Refaeli, but let's admit it, both ladies have nothing on 20-year old S. African Goddess Candice Swanepoel. Mere words can do this chick's hotness rating justice, so we'll just resort to showing you pics after pics after pics to help drive our point home.

Note to editors at Sports Illustrated: Wanna sell millions of magazines next year? Put Candice on your cover. Trust us.

Anyway here are more pics from her appearance last night at Victoria's Secret's "What Is Sexy?" List party held at The Bowery Hotel in Manhattan. Which one of you rich bastards took Candice home last night?

I find both Bar and Marisa to be more attractive. I think its time for a black SI cover model. An actual model, not a singer/actress.

what, do you mean tyra banks for the cover? she's a bit past it tbh. Probably Jessica White, Noemie Lenoir, Liya Kebede, Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman, Danielle Evans, Emanuela De Paula to name a few. Or how about an Asian cover girl. Im getting sick of the same old trend- how about some diversity.

I think he means that a black woman has already done it...so it wouldn't be the first time (Tyra Banks is always yapping about her SI cover). I don't know though. Would be great to have another beautiful black female. :-)

I know it wouldn't be the first time, of course i remember Tyra's iconic cover, but come on the covers are mainly white and blonde, albeit beautiful. Two black cover models in the past however many years kind of baffles me when there are so many bautiful models of other ethnicities. Maybe its just what sells i dunno but its crazy to me. Don't get me wrong, all the cover models have been beautiful, im not badmouthing them in any way.

The Swimsuit Issue cover has not featured an Asian model yet to my knowledge nor has a man even shared it (though one year had a surfer dude in the background). For a second I thought Dennis Rodman had appeared on a cover with Rebecca Romijn, but that was for GQ.

Bar is by far the most attractive model today. No plastic, not to skinny, just pure sex radiating from her.

There's nothing wrong with Bar on the cover, but the correct answer is "None of the above." There are even hotter chicks inside the magazine. There should be a series of votes to get to the bottom of which 2009 SI model is hottest. That is even more important than the 2008 presidential election.

I don't think any of the women in the mag compare to Bar, body wise anyway.

With all due respect, I doubt you've studied all the pics of the other models as much as I have.

I admit, looking at the Bar pics it's hard to imagine a more beautiful woman, but then you see one of the others and think the other woman is the hottest woman alive, until you see the next one, and so on.

These SI pics have overloaded my senses. Sports Illustrated, thank you, thank you, thank you.

AlinaMaria, why does everything have to be about race? People are never satisfied, you're a fucking bitch, 'boohoo, I want a black person on the cover, it's racist because two years ago it wasn't a model it was a black singer, which isn't good enough." FUCK people like you piss me off, nothing ever good enough, you find a race issue in everything, everything some conspiracy to keep black people down.
Would you want SI to make a rule that there has to be a black person on the cover every four years?
The best most deserving person gets on the cover, it's not a race thing, it's an INDIVIDUAL THING! I hope Irina Shayk gets on the cover next year. Why? Simply because she's the hottest, and she's been in the magazine four times.
FUCK YOU!!!

Don't they all have their OWN contests, magazines, award shows, etc. that exclude any non-blacks? And the demands for 'reparations dating back to the 1600's? So what's the big deal if SI chooses hot white women all the time for covers and best layouts? It's not racist. Having dozens of your own mags, contests, Indigo' newspaper inserts, ad nauseum; that's where the real racism is today. And don't get me started on the 99,000 cheap token 'collectors items' about Obama being promoted towards blacks too. Isn't it time to GET OVER IT?

Pretty much says it all to me. I prefer dark skinned, dark haired people to blonde and fair, thats why i'd like a bit of diversity. But while we're on the subject why shouldnt people of diffferent races grace the covers of magazines? why are different ethnicities under represented in the fashion industry? You can't hide from it; its fact. You get the fuck over it. Its so not an individual thing. Yes, Bar is gorgeous, but jessica white is hotter. Why isnt she on the cover?

AlinaMaria, I think Bar is hotter. So that completely voids your fucking point of Jessics White is hotter.
Notice how I said, 'I think', as it's all personal, whereas you used 'is' because your a conceded bitch who thinks her taste is woman are fact. Well their not so fuck off!
People of different races do grace the cover. Bar is Jewish, jews are a race as well as a religion,
Tyra Banks has been on the cover, Beyonce, and A black person has shared the cover too.
I don't know all the other covers, but I think you'll find their from different places all over the world.

being a big fan of candice's, i said the exact same thing. candice and bar are two different kinds of models. bar models in bikinis and looks amazing doing so, but in lingerie shes not as amazing. candice looks amazing in lingerie but not as good in bikinis. also i did side by side comparison and bar is just so fine

My dream would come true if I saw Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Ana Beatriz Barros together in the cover.

she has no tits at all and her butt is kinda flat (more evident in other pics). Her body looks weird and out of proportion.

there always seems to be a certain body part that's in fashion. It used to be boobs only in the 80's and flat small asses. Then the ASS made a big comeback with plastic tits and now it's natural boobs and round bubble butts with flat stomachs in between. This explains J. Alba, J. Biel, MM and now Bar Rafaeli being so in vogue. It's very rare to find this combo and that's why they are getting all the attention nowadays.

nowadays boobs/bum/flat stomach/small waist is very IN these days. Look at JBiel, JAlba, MM and now Bar. They get so much attention for these very reasons. It's such a rare combo. Natural boobs and not plastic bags shoved into your chest...those are totally out now and people get turned off it seems. Am I right?

Candy's lower body does seem off somehow. Not too sexy esp with the flat bum and no boobs to speak of at all.

bar's tits looks far from natural.......i mean any way she hangs them, those moomaas makes a perfect circle all the way around...its like her tits can do geometry while defying gravity...she needs to do nude or bodypaint series for our peace of mind :)

and the fact that she is leo' ho and we are so over exposed to her played significant role in her getting the cover

you want the best looking fakes possible? Check out Holly Madison. They still look like shit and she had the best surgeon on the planet. Bar is all natural and that's why she's amazing.

I'm totally in love with Candice and want to make babies with her endlessly.

But I have to admit, my tentacles feel Bar Rafaeli is THE hottest... but there's no losers in that race.
