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.

Okay, let's put this into perspective. This is day one post-release of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition 2012. Just a few hours old. As more and more hot bikini content spews forth in the next few days and weeks, even months and years as with some of the more buried outtakes, we'll certainly revise our favorite favorites. But, for today, here is who struck us as 'OMG, I must suntan lotion this woman now!'
Nina Agdal, we told you this was her year and starting out with this ridiculously hot SI photoshoot, it's a rocket launch for sure (pictures above);
Anne Vyalitsyna, just plain all-around hotness in a bikini, or less;
Alyssa Miller, if you're a true brunette love, she just might be your favorite;
Jessica Gomes, vastly vastly underrated swimsuit and lingerie model;
Cintia Dicker, just that unique ginger 'ooh' quality that makes her standout with sextastic in just about anything;
Irina Shayk, whose body I went to fondle until my hands fall off from overuse.
Honestly, I'd kill many men and even some innocent kittens to have an hour of alone time on a private beach with any one of these so-sweet hot ladies. Good on you, Sports Illustrated.
And, remember, this is just day one. Enjoy.

Nina Agdal, Kate Upton, and Anne Vyalitsyna Heat Up Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Party in Vegas
While the good folks at Sports Illustrated have kept their pictorial booty pretty much under lock and key this go-round, one thing they will not hide are promotional events for the super hotties gracing the pages of the Swimsuit Edition this February, including Nina Agdal, who you know we thought should have been the cover girl, partially because we predicted she would be, and partially because she's just so effin' good looking, Kate Upton, blonde bombshell and hard to say not deserving of another cover, Anne Vyalitsyna, ridiculously sextastic Russian girl toy, and a gaggle of other of our favorite ladies of the two-piece modeling mode.
All in Sin City to promote the magazine that SI really really wants you to buy this year. Hey, they did bring the hot ladies to the party. Something to be said for that, even if they're not really sharing. Enjoy.
