Models from all over the world have already made the trip down to Hollywood, Florida, as the launch party festivities for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 60th edition of the swimsuit issue roll on.
With the red carpet event in New York behind them, it's time to get the poolside activities going. Did SI Swimsuit get everything right with their milestone edition? Of course not.

Gayle King appearing on one of the covers is an absolutely insane move. One that you almost hope they got some Oprah money for. But that doesn't mean they swung and missed on every one of their model choices this year.
Take rookies Xandra Pohl and Penny Lane, for instance. These are picks of a couple of rising stars among the social media ranks who are ready to take over pop culture for the foreseeable future.
Penny Lane is already flexing some of her muscles as far as that's concerned. She hit the red carpet at the launch party then tossed out a warning to the entire state of Flordia that she and the rest of the models were on their way.
She captioned a recap of the launch party, "Day one @si_swimsuit bring on the rest of the weekend
Instagram Star Penny Lane Is Ready To Have A Big Weekend
That's spoken like someone who is ready to lead. She's obviously got some plans for a big weekend hanging out at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Penny Lane didn't need any friendship with Oprah or to be married to a star athlete to get a shot at appearing in the 60th anniversary issue. She did things the old fashioned way.
She grinded on social media, wound up on a few radars, all while busting her ass modeling. Then she went the Swim Search route before becoming a rookie.
Florida you've been warned. Penny Lane and company have arrived.
