The 2009 SI Swimsuit Issue Cover Model Short List Revealed!
January 16, 2009 Posted in Girls
In mid-February, Sports Illustrated will unleash their 2009 Swimsuit issue! And that means one model will be picked to grace the cover. Much thought goes into this important decision, and we’d personally like to thank SI for picking Marisa Miller in 2008, it’s a classic.
But who will the lucky lady be this year? Based on some reliable insider information, we’ve narrowed the field down to eight likely contenders. Of course we have no pull in the decision – but we do know the following girls are in the running for a cover spot and the pictures are fun to look at (which is all that matters anyway)!
Check out the pictures and vote!

I hope Oluchi makes the cover. She has been featured on SI since 2005. Made it in 2006, 2007 and 2008 as well. She can make the transition between high fashion and commercial as her recent pop cover and vogue editorials show. Please consider her. She deserves more than gracing the pages now
Melissa Baker should be on the cover.. She is a hard worker and she has been through alot to get where she is today. She deserves it.. She is very down to earth and has natural beauty. And she has the best mother in the world by her side..
