LOS ANGELES, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Sports Illustrated
magazine on Monday unveiled its annual swimsuit issue with model
Kate Upton on the cover in a two-toned, red string bikini with a
bottom piece that, literally, appears to be little more than a
string.
Upton, 19, a native of Melbourne, Florida, is the latest in
a long line of models including Heidi Klum, Elle MacPherson,
Tyra Banks and Brooklyn Decker, who have appeared in the coveted
role as the swimsuit issue's cover girl.
M.J. Daly, senior editor for Sports Illustrated, said Upton
"embodies the sophistication and sexiness" called for in the
issue that is seen by some 70 million readers in the magazine,
the Web and on mobile devices like phones and tablet computers.
This year's 17 models in the swimsuit edition were
photographed in Australia, Zambia, the Republic of Seychelles,
Panama and in the United States in Apalachicola, Florida.
"Every single girl we shoot has the opportunity to be on the
cover, and it really comes down to who has the best picture,"
Daly told Reuters. "Whoever has that really special,
