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!

Spring is springing up and the sun is shining on the beaches.
Banish the sweaters and treggings, and get out those teeny tiny eeny meany mine-y string bikinis.
Better yet, grab a copy of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2011 in advance of the first beach outing, and in some 20o pages, you can drool over the array of swimwear that is coming to a boutique near you soon. The 2011 collections of the world’s most coveted bikinis and suits are gorgeously photographed on what might be the most perfect 17 female forms on the planet.
Kikidoll has 4– count ‘em– 4 bikinis of her new 2011 collection in this SI Swim issue!
The mag and Kikidoll’s Aqua Coral String Bikini both helped to launch the rookie of the year, Kate Upton, with her abundantly ample charm, into the spotlight. Kate appears on the cover as ‘Kate the Great’ and none would disagree!
Five year veteran of SI Swim, Julie Henderson wore two of Kikidoll’s bikinis in the issue, both on location in Fiji. Julie said in her video interview that she liked shooting those scenes with the grass skirt the best of all her looks. Here she is in Kikidoll’s Hibiscus Kapa String Bikini–and grass skirt!
After all her twirling around and hula lessons, Julie looks more comtemplative at sunset stretching out her nearly 6 foot native Texan frame against a curvy palm in Kikidoll’s Coral and Tiki Halter Balconette Bikini.
And on Kikidoll’s home turf, SI Swim photographed its final location shoot in Hawaii nei.
They had intended to only film video there, but apparently with its neon theme, the paradisical setting, the uber-models themselves and the photographer, Bjorn Iooss, son of SI Swim vet Walter Iooss, he fortuitously decided to take a few still snaps. Good thing he did–one ended up on the cover with cat-eyed Irina Shayk!
And here is Alyssa Miller in Maui, another bombshell rookie with the looks of a 1940′s starlet, wearing Kikidoll’s Neon Shock Cutaway 1-piece.
Like the Geico ad, you’d have to had been living under a rock not to have seen, heard or known about the eponymous launch of the much twitted and long-awaited mag, such was the clatter (er, twitter) on the boards, on the TV, on building-sized posters, subway ads, iPad and iPhone apps–well, there’s even a 3D Sony Playstation video. Of course! We are all living in the social network!
From one splendorous tropical beach to another–with sites such as Singapore, Fiji, Maui, Boracay and the British Virgin Islands–and themes of corals and oranges, seaglass blues and greens, Oriental koi pond gardens, earthy animal and botanical prints and acid candy colored neons, the fashion shorthand for beach attire for this coming season is: 1) tinier the better, 2) bold colors matter, 3) strings rule, and 4) embellishment is a must. Oh, and tanned and toned–essential accoutrements.
And now, some 30 days away ( April 5) from now, Surfing Magazine launches its laid-back, insoucciant version of the best swimwear available in its stand-alone Swim issue. More au naturel but nonetheless glamorous in its trademarked kicked-back way, Surfing took its beach beauties to the Dominican Republic for its shoot this year. Channeling an Austin Powers palette of bold 60′s psychedelic prints in neons and pop art tones of oranges, yellow and tans, the mag never veers far away from its board-based roots, featuring real bikinis that real surfergirls can really surf in. Like, really!
With its edgy video teaser by Victor Pakpour and sneak peeks photos coupled with beachy crochet giveaways in the lead-up, Surfing is bringing up the rear–literally–from SI Swim‘s buzz on beach bikinis.
Word out is hitched up, ruched up and hiked up bikini bottoms are the be all, END all for this summer!
Really!

Here it is at long last. The winter drought is over. Say goodbye to snow plows, ice storms and wind chill factor higher than your SPF. Today marks the one week point until the new issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2011 is in our sandy little hands. February 15 to be exact, with pre-order available over at B & N.
And those caring adorbs editors over at SI know that waiting is so very hard to do. So, they have packaged up 17 of the planet’s most perfect number 10 + women, put them in or out of the tastiest bikinis, and splashed their absofreaking gorgeousness all over paradisical locations such as Hawaii (of course!), Fiji, Singapore, Philippines and the British Virgin Islands.
Run this 34 second video a few times and you’ll have more confirmation that winter is truly over than that pesky Punxatawny Phil could ever provide as a predictor!

Here are a few sneak peek preview shots from recent Sports Illustrated Swim 2011 shoots on faraway island locations.
Palm trees, volcanic rock, tropical settings–looking very paradisical; perfect for beachgirls in teeny bikinis.
Kikidoll could not help but notice her own coral halter bikini as worn here by Julie Henderson lounging on a palm tree trunk.
Posing behind two lucky starfish is a sea nymph known only as Rookie #5. Wearing Kikidoll’s seafoam aqua coral print string bikini (bottoms, that is!) adorned with sea pearls, crystals and angleskin coral branches, SI snapped this mergirl today.
Watch this space for future peeks–Sports Illustrated Swim issue is on stands in February 2011. Kikidoll is in line!
