Kate Upton repeats as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model
NEW YORK (AP) — In the dead of winter, many girl-watchers' thoughts turn to warmer days ahead.
As an answer to such yearnings, the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is on the way, with Kate Upton once again its cover girl.
Repeating her world-class pin-up feat for a second consecutive year, the 20-year-old, 5-feet-10-inch Upton graces the cover of the 2013 edition, which is set to be officially unveiled Monday night on TV on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" (with 10 of the models presenting the Top Ten List).
The new edition — marking the 50th anniversary — will be on newsstands Tuesday.
It's Upton's third appearance in a Swimsuit issue. She was chosen as rookie of the year in 2011, when Irina Shayk was on the cover.
This year for the first time, the fashion shoot covers the entire world, with 17 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models journeying to all seven continents. Photo sites include African dunes and Asian cliffs.
But for Upton, there's lots of ice. She is warming things up in Antarctica, where the cover shot displays her clad only in a white, fur-lined parka and bikini bottom.
Out of a dozen or so photos in which she appears, the cover shot "is the most clothes I'm wearing in the whole issue," Upton said in a phone interview Monday. "It was a sort of I-love-you from the editor: 'I'll let you wear a coat for this one.'"
The shoot spanned 10 days in December, which is Antarctica's "summer." Some of the photos, including the cover, were shot from the base ship, which also carried the team from one icy land shooting site to another.
When she returned to her home in Florida, Upton said she was "very, very sick. I don't think you can go to Antarctica and stand in a bikini without that happening. But I didn't die, and I'm OK now."
Very OK, after hearing only on Friday that she was the editors' choice for the cover.
Despite the challenges of the assignment, Upton said it would likely remain her most thrilling ever, and called Antarctica "the most beautiful place I've ever been."
But for anyone else who wants to experience that magical place, she offered this bit of advice: "You are definitely recommended to keep your clothes on."

She would make the perfect Libertarian candidate for 2016. I would watch every speech, press conference and campaign stop.
They're real and they're spectacular.

They're real and she makes a great breakfast.
 I am sure looking at these Bodacious set of ta ta,s.....has given a few fellas a ..".UPTON"
This is currently the third most popular story on KATU -- number two is Katy Perry's cleavage, and #1.....drum roll......Cupid's Undie Run.
Â
GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER PEOPLE!!!!
 @WTFWTF Absolutely. This story should be Number 1. Undie Run? Number three at best.
 @drosen Well they added a video, so I expect to see it to move up today.
Honey.. you silicone is showing.. rather ugly. COVER UP
Â
 @Oh My You sound jealous.
 @Oh My Them's be real ta-ta's. Check out the video I posted below for proof.
 @Oh My Fake? Those are real! Fake boobs don't jiggle like that.
In the immortal words of Bud Bundy " Yum, Yum, gonna get me some"
 @wvboy OH YEAH ! She is so hot!
I do so dislike the huge, fake boobs.
 @Nobody See my comment below with the link to a video. I think you'll change your thoughts on this.
 @scoreboard Sorry. I will stick by my statement until I get a personal inspection of her abilities.
*****ACTUAL CLIENT TESTIMONY*********
Â
Trust Scoreboard. Â The video is real. Â The Ta Tas are real.
 @Nobody Fake? You do you know?
 @Jim330rifle Two things. 1) Gravity has not been turned off. Not even locally. And 2) Just a little checking on a number of web sites verifies they are implants (and if it is on the Internet it has to be true.)
 @Nobody Ok
@Jim330rifle Last years issue of the SI Swimsuit edition... this years... last years... this years. I'm going to need to study this more in depth.
I'll have to comment later. Â
Â
I'll be back in a minute.
She is kinda cute.
 @bOB Kinda? LOL!
This is one of the breast examples of how the US is in udder moral deterioration. When I was growing up decades ago I have no mammaries of magazine covers like this. Now one can fill large cups with these,...uh magazines.
Â
On another note my cow is jealous.
 @RalphCramden You funny guy!!
LMAO Ralph you are one funny sun of a gun.Â
Are you sure that this is not the cover of Playboy? I am sure it will sell, sex always does!
I'd just like to see her without the coat! Well, I guess I'll have to go to the store and buy the mag - she says that coat is the most clothes she's wearing in the issue!
Ew...
North Korea wants to blow everyone up.
Â
But hey, in the meantime...nice breasts! I'd say they're real. They don't appear all stiff and unnatural. But then again, it could just be a very talented surgeon.
 @Reflect Watch this video and judge for yourself. I'd say they're real.

 @scoreboard The only bad thing about that video is that it is too short and doesn't show her from every possible angle.
 @scoreboard Those Bad Boys is real!!!
 @Kushfan Kind of what I thought!
Real or not real?
 @SURFER DUDE who cares.
