  Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
Sports Illustrated and the swimsuit issue in the context of changing gender relations; she argues that feminist challenges to men’s superior position in the social hierarchy have produced hegemonic forms of masculinity.
Sports Illustrated is concerned, we also learn that in addition to the flagrant (although predictably denied) use of female sexuality to sell copy, attract advertising dollars, and secure a largely male audience, the magazine has over the years adopted numerous proactive and reactive strategies to maximize profit.
Sport itself polices the limits of appropriate masculinity and femininity, which is officially legitimated with the sex-testing of Olympic athletes and the division of sport into men’s and women’s events.

 Spectacular Harbour Island Shoot Dominates The 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
Harbour Island, The Bahamas was the location for a blockbuster reunion of eight of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue’s most legendary supermodels in July 2005 and the stunning results appear on the cover and in a massive 40-page layout in the 2006 issue which hits newsstands today.
Sports Illustrated clearly loves The Bahamas, as this marks the second consecutive year that a Bahamas shoot has graced the cover – Carolyn Murphy and Andros appeared on the 2005 cover – and the first time in 30 years that the same destination has appeared on back-to-back covers.
In addition, each year Sports Illustrated produces a "Behind the Scenes and On-Location" special that is sold to cable networks including ESPN and Spike TV and should prominently feature footage from both shoots in The Bahamas.

 MediaPost Publications - Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue - 02/15/2006
Since nothing I say about this year's swimsuit issue could add much to the general discourse, I'll take the easy, incoherent route here and list a few fast observations.
Okay, it's a swimsuit issue, and we should thus expect the homogeneity of image: babes on beaches, chicks in cabanas, etc. But every time the swimsuit issue attempts to get a little creative--like with this year's plodding "Swimsuit Goes Hollywood" motif--it bores rather than titillates.
The "Swimsuit Cover Reunion" motif falls flat owing to the absence of Cheryl Tiegs; this is the equivalent of honoring the 1986 New York Giants and not inviting Lawrence Taylor.

CHICAGO - Leslie Burger, president of the American Library Association, issued a statement today regarding the announced decision of Sports Illustrated magazine not to distribute its annual swimsuit issue to academic, public and school libraries.
"The policy decision by the publishers of Sports Illustrated to selectively deny this year’s 'swimsuit issue' to some of its paid subscribers is outrageous-patronizing and paternalistic in the extreme.
To read (or not to read) a published issue of the magazine is a decision that belongs solely to subscribers, and in the case of institutional subscribers such as libraries, to the individual patrons of that library.
