Part of being the Sports Illustrated cover girl, probably the most relevant part of being the Sports Illustrated cover girl, other than maybe the ego of being the Sports Illustrated cover girl to people who remember when Sports Illustrated still mattered, is booking a campaign with the lead sponsor, which I assume is Lexus…
It’s the upsell to try to trick brands to hand over millions of dollars to get involved in the outdated magazine…”we’ll do a shoot with our photog an your car with our model, please pay us”….
It’s also the only one of their models getting paid to be in the magazine, and not even by the magazine, making it the best scam ever…”Let’s use girls for free to make money, to make our subscribers not cancel”…clever on their part, pretty dumb on the girl’s part…all they get out of it is some press and a free trip…and some bragging rights to girls who aren’t in Sports Illustrated Swim…
The magazine came out in February, so I’ve probably already posted these pics, and I generally don’t like posting LEXUS ads just because they have some overrated model in a bikini being a car show import model…which I guess when they do it for Lexus Toyota seems more classy then for Ron the Tinting guy down the street for a bunch of Asian dudes in a parking lot…but it’s virtually the same half naked whoring…and we like half naked whoring…
Lexus should pay me for this…
