How does the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue still compete with all of the sexy photo spreads and porn found online these days? By featuring the most gorgeous bikini beauties in the world. And Kate Upton was 2011's best find. Upton's classically curvy body and face full of girlish charm make her an easy choice as a breakout model. Even a video of her doing the Dougie at a Clippers game went viral. If she can make the dumbest dance craze in years look sexy, just imagine what else she can do.

According to Sports Illustrated, Upton is a Midwest native who always dreamed of being a model. She walked into an open call more than three years ago and booked her first job.Upton has been the face for Guess Lingerie and has been on the cover of Cosmopolitan Bride, the Web site stated.
