The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue will be published on Valentine’s Day. I’m sure it’s a coincidence.

It features U.S. Soccer player Alex Morgan with a painted-on swimsuit.

Of course all will purchase that edition of the magazine for the articles.

Said Morgan: “It was a completely new experience and definitely took some getting used to before I felt comfortable in bodypaint. I had to look in the mirror every five minutes to make sure I actually had a swimsuit on. “

When asked men to choose to do this kind of thing, she said Rafael Nadal or Blake Griffin.

Not sure how exactly to feel about that.
