Model Love

Setting: The photo shoot for the cover of the 50th Anniversary (2014) Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Maitai Bay, Northland, New Zealand. (Moved from The Cook Islands because NZ is a better place.)

Supermodels Nina Agdal, Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge are posing in bikinis, including the shot that ultimately makes the cover, with them topless and touching each other's breasts and butts. Chrissy suddenly gets an idea and whispers it to Lily and Nina. Lily isn't sure, but Chrissy manages to convince her to go along with it. To the crew's surprise, the ladies face the cameras, still topless, pull down their bikini bottoms and kiss. Chrissy and Nina kiss first, then Chrissy and Lily, then Nina and Lily. Then they all engage in a nude three-way kiss.

CHRISSY TEIGEN: "We were already topless and touching each other, this seemed natural. It's the 50th Anniversary, I thought we should do something special."

While those photos don't make it into the issue, the magazine includes them as an Easter Egg on the DVD that comes with the calendar. Not surprisingly, the magazine receives a lot of letters asking to have something like that in every future issue.
