Editorial Review:Product Description:In its annual Swimsuit Issue 10 years ago, "Sports Illustrated" first presented spectacular photographs of gorgeous models in swimsuits that consisted of nothing more than paint artistically and painstakingly applied to their bodies. These eye-popping optical illusions, created by make-up artist Joanne Gare and captured by the magazine's world-class photographers, have become a favourite feature of this wildly popular magazine. Now the editors bring together not just a complete collection of astonishing painted-swimsuit photographs, but also a series of vastly entertaining essays, stories, and column, some commissioned especially for this book - that trace the history of body painting and take readers behind the scenes as the Swimsuit shoots that are the craft's most modern and provocative application.

I bought it as a birthday present for my boyfriend, since he was such a SP swimsuit fan. He loved it! He even compared the pictures in the book with every swimsuit issue, and found out that even pictures in 2007 were already collected.

You can still enjoy the contours of her figure and the texture of her nipples without the usual hide-and-seek.
If you buy this one, I ...
