Sexy Can I? | Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition | model diversity

This year's SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT EDITION may have typical "All-American" Marisa Miller on its cover, but inside promises a bevy of models from a varied ethnic spectrum--proving what we already know, that sexy doesn't only equal blonde-and-blue-eyed beauties.

The 2008 models featured, among others, include: Ana Beatriz Barros and Jeisa Chiminazzo and Daniella Sarahyba from Brazil; Selita Ebanks from The Cayman Islands; African Americans Quiana Grant and Jessica White; Oluchi Onweagba hails from Nigeria; Bar Refaeli from Israel (also Leonardo diCaprio's partner); Irina Shayk and Anne V from Russia; Australian Jessica Gomes, a hapa of Singaporean-German descent; and Jarah Mariano, an Asian American of Hawaiian-Korean-Chinese descent (pictured).

Enjoy...just ignore the caption they added: "...and other exotic models."
