The ladies of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue packed their bags and headed to Las Vegas yesterday, with Brooklyn Decker flying on a special Virgin America flight alongside her fellow model Kate Upton. Brooklyn was off once they touched down in Nevada to join Hilary Rhoda, Anne V, and Jessica Gomes for a special lunch at STK with the restaurant's executive chef Stephen Hopcraft. By the evening, it was time for one more bash to celebrate the new issue after hosting a party in NYC on Wednesday. 2011 cover girl Irina Shayk posed with Damaris Lewis, Elena Baguci, and Cintia Dicker, while Chrissy Teigen posed with Brooklyn and a guy friend before chowing down on potato skins. All the girls featured in this year's issue were able to let their hair down and have some fun before resuming their promotional activities today.
Brooklyn Decker, Chrissy Teigen, and More Break Out Their Bikinis For Sports Illustrated!

Brooklyn Decker, who was on the front of 2010's edition, is a big movie star now after starring in the box office champ film Just Go With It, but she returned to her roots to pose in a two-piece along with John Legend's lovely lady friend Chrissy Teigen. Estée Lauder face Hilary Rhoda also joined the ranks along with Victoria's Secret's Izabel Goulart, whose fellow Angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima have also been busy showing skin — take a closer look at who's inside Sports Illustrated and also check out the magazine's site for even more!
Model of the Week: Esti Ginzburg
The Model of the Week, Sports Illustrated edition continues with Israeli model Esti Ginzburg. The 19-year-old was born in Tel Aviv and started modeling at the age of 8. At 14, she signed a contract with Elite Models and here she is. Esti has done work for Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry, and FCUK before, but it's her sexy spreads in SI's swimsuit issue that have everyone talking. Check her out, basking in the sun in her Missoni bikini in Naples, Italy. I recently got a chance to speak to the blond bombshell about bikinis, modeling, and her personal style.
