Sports Illustrated features first burkini girl
[BBC] A Somali-American supermodel has become the first Muslim model to appear in Sports Illustrated wearing a burkini.

Halima Aden is featured in its annual swimsuit issue in the swimwear which covers the entire body except the face, hands and feet.

"Young girls who wear a hijab should have women they look up to in any and every industry," she told the BBC.

Halima Aden grew up in a Kenyan refugee camp, moved to the US aged seven and began wearing the hijab shortly after.

"We are now seeing politicians, business women, television reporters, and other successful hijabi women in visible roles and that is the message we need to be sending," she said.

"The response has been incredible and I'm so honoured that Sports Illustrated has taken the step to showcase the beauty that modestly dressed women possess."

#3 Are they going to dump piles of the issue at dorms and hotels like the Der Stürmer NYT to claim 'sales' numbers?

#6 I think SI is currently an every two weeks magazine.

Probably will be monthly in a year and then disappear altogether in 5 years.

Some probably should, if you catch my drift.

#8 For over 20 years, every year I have bought the SI swimsuit issue for Mr Warthog. We both enjoyed looking at the female form in our own separate ways. Not this time. And not any more.

#14 Whatever, some mag that had some dude dressed in one of those girl frolic capri get-ups.

And if I'm seeing the previews correctly, there is nothing to brag about here - perhaps the reason for the wild media bragging blitz - as she has twenty pounds of makeup and dentistry and is dressed like Deepwater Horizon cleanup crew.

Seriously are not doing their cause any favors.

#17 I expect Mens Health to be closing the doors soon. A couple of the latest articles are full on SJW. One is on How to Suck your own D.... Another is on The Best Positions for Pegging. I kid you not.

#21 By the seaside they cheerfully bob,
Schools of plastic-wrapped blobs in hijab.
Spat a shark, "Used to be
Like the bloody Red Sea...
Now I flop into town for kebab."
