Camille Kostek Torches The Cover Of Maxim, Still Doing Her Thing For Those Whose 'Boobs Hang' In Their Bikinis
Camille Kostek is Maxim's cover model for their May/June 2024 issue, and she brought her blowtorch with her for this cover shoot. The veteran model set out to show that she hasn't lost a step.
I'm assuming that was part of her overall plan anyway, because she left very little on the table. The 32-year-old former NFL cheerleader can safely say she executed that plan.
Kostek left little doubt about whether she had plenty left in the tank or not. The dominant performance included setting the record straight on why she became a cheerleader and what made her want to become a bikini model.
People assume that, because she was a cheerleader, it was a goal of hers to date an athlete. It worked out that way for her, and she's been dating Rob Gronkowski since 2015, but it wasn't her plan to find an athlete.
"When people hear you’re an NFL cheerleader, they might think you’re just trying to date an athlete. To have to train for 17 years as a dancer - that’s a difficult way to get a boyfriend," Kostek told Maxim.
Camille Kostek Continues To Add To Her Resume
While she didn't train for almost 20 years as a dancer just to end up on an NFL sideline looking for a boyfriend, she did have plans for a modeling career when she moved to Los Angeles at 25.
Those plans worked out and while the title of hero gets thrown around far too much for my liking, it fits in this case. Kostek wanted to show the world what a model with boobs that hang in their bikini top could do - she did that and more.
"I feel like, at surface level, when someone reads a quick bio about me or they ask what I do and I say I’m a model or TV host, or they learn that I rose to prominence for posing in a bikini, they can be quick to judge," Kostek admitted.
"But the reason I was drawn to [modeling] in the first place wasn’t because I wanted to be in a bikini and pose, it was about loving the skin that I’m in. Even when I was struggling to love it."
"Thankfully, advertising is evolving, but at that time, it was difficult to even find a girl with freckly skin or see a girl’s boobs hang in her bikini top!," she continued. "That was attractive, natural and beautiful to me. I wanted to see someone who looked like myself or my [friends] in magazines."
Someone had to fight the good fight. Thankfully, Camille Kostek was there, and she didn't listen to the traditional modeling agencies. She's a true living legend.
