Alex Morgan S.I. Body Paints Her Way Into Your Hearts and Minds and Other Body Parts

UPDATE: Sorry to all, but mostly to myself, but Sports Illustrated has decided they no longer wish to share these beautiful photographs of beautiful models so they had to be removed. Please forgive the wet floors, that's from my tears of sorrow.

Don't ever let it be said we don't bow to the will of the people; we cave to peer pressure faster than a middle school girl with acne hoping to make the in-crowd. We're weak. So many of you wrote in asking about Alex Morgan, U.S. Women's Soccer player featured in the body paint in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Well, not so much asking about, but demanding to see. And while we personally didn't think her pictorial lived up to S.I. body paint exhibitions of the past, you can judge for yourself if Alex Morgan meets the right palm test for you personally.

Democracy in action, especially mostly nekkid democracy, that's what we're all about. Enjoy
