Vanity Fair Retrospective: 50th Anniversary of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue

The February issue was going all Rule 5 or something.

Plus, "The Luckiest Photographer on Earth":

For 38 years, Walter Iooss has photographed the world’s most beautiful women—from Cheryl Tiegs to Kathy Ireland, to Petra Nemcova—in exotic waterside locales for Sports Illustrated’s annual Swimsuit Issue. His new book, Heaven, showcases his iconic images as well as never-before-seen pictures from the shoots. Here, Iooss flips through the pages and relives his favorite moments for VF.com.

Nice work if you can get it.
