Sports Illustrated holds a special place in most millennial mens’ hearts as one of the more reliable (if infrequent) sources of fine female photography in the pre-internet age. However, times have changed and the magazine’s swimsuit issue isn’t quite as vital as it once was. However, that doesn’t mean we still don’t want to look.
The infamous Swimsuit Issue is on shelves now, but thanks to YouTube we get a more intimate look at 24 year old cover star Hannah Ferguson. The Texas-born model dons pretty much nothing throughout the behind-the-scenes video, and we aren’t exactly sure how these are getting past YouTube’s nudity filters.
Pretty soon parents are going to be telling their kids, “back in my day, the Swimsuit Edition had swimsuits in it.” While you’re here, we’ve included another video of Ferguson’s body painting session. There’s plenty more on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit YouTube channel.
