Irina Shayk & Brooklyn Decker: SI Swimsuit Calendar Hotness

It’s something many look forward to each year, and the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar has been released.

Making for quite the eye-popping edition, bikini-clad Brooklyn Decker, Irina Shayk, Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen, Jessica White and Anne V, among others, grace the pages of the 12-month spread.

Sitting down for an exclusive chat with SB Nation, Ms Shayk spoke about modeling for SI after being asked if it's a hazardous occupation.

To this, she replied, "Well, not dangers. For SI we did a shoot in the Philippines in Kalibo. It took me 35 hours of travel to get there because I missed one flight, then another, and then missed every connection after that. When we got there you had to climb a mountain to get a beautiful shot, or you had to jump into really cold water to get a shot. It was fun, but Maui was more fun as a shoot."
