Kate Upton happy with her Sports Illustrated body, career
Sports Illustrated celebrated this year’s swimsuit edition with a launch party Tuesday night in NYC. Models from the issue chatted about the differences in their kind of modeling and that of the runway models taking part in New York Fashion Week. For one thing, the girls in swimsuits tend to be shorter (several of them are around 5-9). For another, they are much, much curvier. “I don’t really focus on other girls,” cover girl Kate Upton said.”I think everyone has a different body type. .. I don’t go out and compete with other girls.” [The Cut]
