“Victoria’s Secret was my absolutely biggest goal in life, and it was all I ever wanted career-wise. I actually loved it while I was there, it was so much fun and I had a blast.

But the more I was modeling lingerie, and lingerie isn’t clothing, I just started becoming more uncomfortable with it because of my faith.”

And she thought that by getting the gig working for Victoria’s Secret she’d be modeling, what, parkas and overalls?

Going on to say that it made her uncomfortable getting nearly naked, not only because she wasn’t setting a good example for other Christians, but because her hot body should be for her husband’s eyes only!

“My body should only be for my husband and it’s just a sacred thing,” she explained.

Fine. Whatever…

While this is a loss to men everywhere, January of 2010 was the last time I shared any photos of her so I doubt we’ll miss her that much. That being said, here’s a little of what we won’t be seeing.

Christian Model Quits Victoria’s Secret: ‘My Body Should Only Be For My Husband’ [Radar]

In case you were wondering what Dancing With The Stars, uh, star, Karina Smirnoff has been up to since she and MLB pitcher Brad Penny called off their engagement, it appears that she’s recovering by spending some quality time in a bikini. Actually I believe she’s wearing this bikini in Hawaii to help promote her “DanceFIT-KS Exercise Routine” video. No idea what that is, but if there are bikinis involved I’ll watch it.

I know I have said this before, but today it’s Russian model Nastya Kunskaya’s turn to be the sexiest model that I’m betting most of you have ever seen before. (I know she qualifies as such for me.) This little photo shoot is for something called Parah Beachwear. I’ve never heard of them, but there’s literally like 80 bikini companies in the world so I can’t be blamed. The good news for them is that if they keep putting out photos like these, featuring Nastya, a minimum of once a month they’ll quickly become a household name. Something to think about, guys…

Remember the other day when we saw behind-the-scenes pics of Adriana Lima doing a bikini shoot for Victoria’s Secret? Well, now we have the same thing for Candice Swanepoel. Oh joyous day. This bikini photo shoot in St. Barts just goes to show you that Candice can look just as good, if not better (I’m going with better), than when they’ve taken the photos and doctored them all up. Not that any of this is a complaint. Either way, she’s truly amazing.

We haven’t heard much from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley since she appeared in the latest Transformers movie, mostly because she doesn’t work for Victoria’s Secret anymore (bad move), so I figured we’d check in with her and wouldn’t you know, she’s still modeling, and still topless a lot. I’m glad to see that being a big movie star and dating a big movie star hasn’t made Rosie forget her roots like a lot of models do once they become famous (looking at you Kelly Brook).

Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis, has apparently moved on with none other than Steve-O (real name Stephen Gilchrist Glover) of Jackass fame!

Canalis, 33, and Steve-O, 37, have been hanging out in Los Angeles recently, and on Monday, they were together again — only this time, they were spotted kissing!

That’s it. I give up trying to figure out women.

I’m still not 100% sure why photographers are following around Leilani Dowding, but they are and she’s pretty much always in a bikini, so maybe I just answered my own question. In case you missed the first two times we saw Ms. Dowding doing things in bikinis I’ll remind you that she’s on a TV show called Tough Love Miami and used to be, or still is, I don’t know, one of those Page 3 girls over in the UK. Yeah, I still don’t get why photographers are following her around.

With Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge knocked up this year it’s time for lesser known Victoria’s secret models to shine. Maryna Linchuk is one of those ladies and this new photo shoot she did with whole lotta booty action is definitely a beacon of sexiness. Maryna and Magdalena Frackowiak are two women I am hoping we get to see more of this year (as I did last year), so this is a good start. Keep it up, girls.

Since it’s Saturday I figured you might like a little Brazilian flavor added to your day so here’s bikini model extraordinaire Flavia de Oliveira modeling various bikinis for Goldenpoint. There are two things about this set of pics that amaze me. One, this is yet another bikini company for women – I think that’s around 80 different companies I’ve shared with you, and two, this is the first time we’ve seen Flavia de Oliveira here, which brings the number of Brazilian models we’ve featured here also to some ridiculous number. Okay, I’m done talking. Go look at the pics.

Here’s something completely different: Adriana Lima doing a bikini photo shoot in St. Barts. What’s different? These are BEFORE all the touch-ups happen. Not that she needs any. Damn. Seriously, is there any point in taking these photos and doctoring them up for publication? I wonder if any bikini company has ever released an ad or a catalog with non-doctored photos. That would be revolutionary. It would also require having all your models look like Adriana. Maybe that’s why it’s never been done.

I wish Vanessa Hudgens appeared in more films that I actually wanted to watch because as these bikini pictures of her vacationing in Hawaii show she’s got serious talent. Honestly, other than Sucker Punch, has she even been in a movie in the past three or four years? What is she vacationing from? Not working? I guess I’m just not up on whatever work she’s been doing. Maybe her films just aren’t my kind of thing. Someone in Hollywood needs to get her in an action film or something that guys want to see ASAP.

This new photo shoot that Anna Kournikova did for the latest issue of Tatler Russia has me wondering two things. One, is she still relevant? At all? And two, is she still hot? Maybe it’s just this particular photo shoot that is turning me off for some reason, because she certainly appeared to still have it going on in this video she did recently for Women’s Health. So many mixed feelings when it comes to Anna. I want her to still be relevant because what man out there didn’t think she was the sexiest athlete on the planet at some point? That was years ago though. I think her time for relevancy might be coming to an end. Too bad.

Back in 2010 I said that model Tori Praver was one of the most underrated women in the world. Judging by the number of times we’ve seen her here on this site since then apparently not many people listened. Until now. Thank you, Nordstrom for putting Tori in bikinis for your 2012 catalog. Finally someone gets it. Maybe it’s just the fact that I have memories of her killing it for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue back in the day, but I really think this girl needs more work. C’mon people, make it happen.

19 year-old Hungarian model Barbara Palvin was one of our 66 women to watch in 2012. Photo shoots like this one she did for Victoria’s Secret are one of the main reasons why. I don’t know why Victoria’s Secret doesn’t do more photo shoots like this rather than the standard fare they usually give us. Not that I am complaining. Even their pedestrian photo shoots are serious eye candy, it’s just nice to see them mixing it up now and then. Good job.

I thought since it’s Monday we’d start things out with a lovely young lass that many of you who are reading this may not be familiar with. Her name is Jorgie Porter. And she’s spectacular. Of course, the boys over at Nuts know this that’s why they feature her in photo shoots like this. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Jorgie here on Guyism, but unless you watch TV in the UK you may not remember her, because she is on one of the greatest television shows ever created, Hollyoaks. And I say that having never seen a single episode. Why? Here’s why. (Oh and this is what I also mean about TV being better everywhere else.)

A couple of days ago we featured sexy Colombian model Karen Carreno and since we’re such big fans of the ladies of Colombia I figured why not do it again today with model Liz Solari? This is the second time we’ve seen Liz here on Guyism and I must say I have been tremendously impressed with her both times now. Of course, she is a Colombian model and both times she’s been wearing bikinis so there really isn’t much to not like here.

Remember how last year Audrina Patridge was the face (and body) of Bongo? No? I feel you. Well, this year they’ve picked Pretty Little Liars actresses Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson to hawk their gear. And I say, good choices. This is the first time we’ve seen Ashley here on this site so I am glad they brought her to our attention, but Lucy’s long been a favorite around here and it’s about time more people recognized the talent we’ve been delighting in for almost two years now.

I can’t decide if I like this bathing suit that Rihanna is sporting on a boat while on vacation over in Hawaii. It kind of looks like a swimsuit from the future or something. Honestly I think I prefer the bikini she had on in this photo shoot over this silver piece. Plus this silver one is going to give her some very unusual tan lines. Then again, you’d have to see her naked to know about them. … What was I talking about again?

Lorraine Van Wyk is another one of those super sexy bikini models we’ve never seen before. It really is amazing how many beautiful women there are in the world, and equally amazing is how many of them model bikinis for a living. Lorraine also joins Candice, Natasha, Candice (different one), Genevieve, and, umm, a bunch of other women in what’s becoming quite an impressive list of models from South Africa. Something else that’s amazing is that this set of swimwear is from something called Melissa Odabash, which adds to the ever-growing list of companies that make bathing suits for women. Just how many swimsuits do women own to warrant all these companies being in existence anyway?
