Nicola Griffin Oldest SI Model

Nicola Griffin is the oldest woman to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition by a meaningful number of years. After nabbing a couple fatties to expand the definition of the word ‘bikini body beautiful’, the magazine went straight for old ladies as they checked off the categories of women not a single reader asked to see in a bikini. Sports Illustrated doesn’t cover heavyset women or old ladies in the course of its normal sports coverage. It’s hard to know who to blame for this explicit pandering but I’ll choose Lisa Garcia Quiroz, Chief Diversity for Time Warner. Time Warner’s CEO now has thirty-percent of his executive compensation tied to diversity results. Fat chick and old ladies in bikinis just earned him a new boat. There’s a method to this madness. Follow the money. Eventually it will lead you back around to the 22-year old Brazilian models as it should.
