I'm so excited for a chapter with SI SwimsuitIn whichI get to celebrate women for who we are, what we have to say and what change we can effect.I'm a size 14,I'm Asian and Middle Eastern,I'm queer; andI'm proud to beIn the pages of SportsIllustrated SwimsuitIn order to represent the continued dismantling of the beautyIdeal. Here s a snap of my hair and makeup just before my first shot of the day I.e.InIts peak condition! You can see that Maclay and Murphy both went for a natural look, just pumped up a bit with some waveIn the hair and coverage on the skin. ThereIsn t a lot of vintage SportsIllustrated merch on the market, soI was very excited to find this snapback on Poshmark the week before my shoot. ThoughIt didn t get shot for the magazine,I had fun taking photos ofIt between shots, pretendingI was a 1995 Rookie. Typically,I'm notInto über feminine swimwear (you ll mostly find meIn one pieces with a fun element like a cutout or one shoulder strap), but this floral bikinI'made me feel prettyIn pink.

The last shot of the day was taken at a cenote.I d never been to one before, so after the shoot was wrapped,I took a moment to relax and takeIn the scenery. On shoot day, the video team filmedInterview style segments between photos.I got to style myself for this portion of the content, soI chose this matching beachwear set from Steele. (Fun fact:It has a flamingo embroidered on the back!)I love shooting my own behind the scenesImages on film, but sometimesI'make a mistake.
Here, anImage was overexposed beforeIt was developed;I still thinkIt turned out beautifully, even highlighting the one pair of statement earringsI wore. Did you know that you can flip your string bikini top upside down for a fresh new silhouette? That s what we did with this yellow top andI love the ruched result.

Two months later, SI Swimsuit s editorIn chief MJ Day told me thatI would beIn the 2023Issue;I could feel her support and encouragement through Zoom.I feltImmediately committed to showing up as my whole self throughout this experienceIn hopes thatIt helps readers do the sameIn their lives. During my fitting, this cobalt blue one piece caught my eye because of the taffeta esque flowers on the bodice; though we didn t end up shootingIt, we did shoot a bikini from the designerIn a deep maroon hue. For my SI Swimsuit shoot,Adam Maclay and Tracy Murphy both New York based artists thatI had had the pleasure of working with previously did the hair and makeup, respectively. The night before my shoot, we had a fitting that started around 9 p.m. after the team returned from another model s shoot day. We tried on about 15 suits and ended up selecting around 10 to be shot on my shoot the next day.
