Lauren Mellor needs to be in the American Swimsuit Issue

A couple of weeks ago I pointed out that South African model Natasha Barnard needed to be in the American version of the SI Swimsuit Issue. Today I’d like to formally request that Lauren Mellor also be included. I don’t know why it is that the South African version of the Swimsuit Issue seems to have more hot babes than the American version, but that’s my take. Maybe it’s just because I’m not as familiar with them that makes them seem more interesting. Speaking of getting familiar, here’s what I know about Lauren: She’s from South Africa. She’s 5’9″. She measures 34-26-38.5″. She’s worked for Agent Provocateur, La Senza and Samsung, among others. And she looks freaking ridiculously sexy in a bikini.
