It’s that time of year again when all eyes, male and female alike, turn to the glossy pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2012 for a much needed respite from the cold and windy days of winter. Besides the stand-alone issue, there will be its website edition on SI.com, and apps, as well as a 2-day Vegas launch party that will showcase 17 new musical talents alongside the world’s most perfect women, the SI models.

Last year, rookie Alyssa Miller was papped wearing Kikidoll’s Neon Shock Keyhole One-Piece Swimsuit while on location in Hawaii for SI.

 

This year, a week ahead of its launch, the savvy editors of SI Swim have decided to preview sneak peeks in the way of announcements on its Facebook site and today they unveiled a large building-sized poster of Alyssa–all geared to wet the appetite for more than 200 pages of bikini bliss to come next Tuesday, Valentines Day, February 14.

 

Rookie of the year 2011 Kate Upton, also seen in Kikidoll last issue, wearing her Aqua Coral Branch String, is the odds-on favorite to take the 2012 cover, following in the bosom..er, steps…of Irina Shayk, 2011, Brooklyn Decker, 2010 and Bar Refaeli, 2009.

 

Older vets like AnneV, appearing for the 8th consecutive year and Julie Henderson, seen in 2 Kikidoll bikinis–Kapa print String and Tiki Gods Halter– last year in SI Swim, is now in her 6th issue and both are also strong covergirl contenders.

 

 

The suspense is building and if the SI editors are to be believed not even the cover girl herself knows she is on its cover–yet!

Kikidoll, in the spirit of the run-up to launch, will give away her Lemon Bird of Paradise bikini to the first correct entry for naming the SI cover model and color of her suit.

Kiki is wagering on Kate, in red!

About Kikidoll
Kikidoll is the eternal beachgirl, and takes her inspiration from the awesome elegance and pristine simplicity of beaches and waves everywhere. She muses on islands, oceans, beaches, shells, flowers, tropical living, travel, design and style, swimming, surfing, her beloved Hawaii nei, the spirit of aloha, iconic symbols and of course the fleeting ‘endless summer’. Most importantly, she frets over what to wear at the beach!
