They’re both spending a lot of time in bikinis and lingerie, they’ve both got highly admired figures on this site and they are both the owners of super nice waist-hip ratios.
One’s got longer limbs and lots of tan, one’s got a bit more softness and an extra bra cup… and they’re both looking pretty flawless in minimal ‘outfits’.
Who’s Your Favorite Bikini Model? Candice Swanepoel VS Kelly Brook!

British pop band Sugababes are currently having a lovely time on vacation, which means we’re getting 3 bikini treats!
First, a pear-shaped Amelle Berrabah (25) above…
Secondly, a thin and fit Jade Ewen (21)…
And thirdly, a curvy Heidi Range (26).
All the girls have pretty flat tummies and curves in the right places.
Who’s your favorite Sugababe?

Guess what? Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio, Sports Illustrated hottie Brooklyn Decker and the most popular plus-size model Crystal Renn will share the cover of Glamour’s June issue!
And we can’t know for sure if they’re gonna lack clothes in the final photo, but the 3 beauties posed together in St. Barths this week wearing nothing but bikinis!
Glamour Magazine promised last year (after the overwhelming response they got for including naked Lizzie Miller’s tummy in the magazine) to feature women of different shapes and sizes – and it looks like they’re doing a pretty good job. Unlike Love’s Magazine (failed) initiative to feature models of different sizes, these 3 girls right here are actually different.
Remember the old Cracker Jack snacks? You know, the ones with the "toy surprise inside"? How awesome were they? You had a popcorn-slash-peanut treat and hidden treasure, all in one box. I mean sure, you'd usually end up with some lame trinket like a plastic figurine or stick-on tattoo. But every once in a while, you'd get something cool and semi-useful like a whistle, scissors, or magnifying glass (sun-toasted ants, anyone?).
Model searches are like Cracker Jacks. You'll get girls of all ethnicities, heights and sizes and you really never know what to expect. And like sifting through a caramel-y box in search of your prize, it's the anticipation of the unknown that makes it exciting . . . which is exactly what happened at our cover casting call at SpoCom. Fifty-plus models came through and second to last was this beauty before you: Bahara Golestani.
Residing in Scottsdale, AZ, by way of Moscow, Russia, this Persian princess has been making her way through the HIN scene. With music videos under her belt, and a role in an upcoming movie starring Luke Wilson, you can bet you're going to be seeing much more of Miss Bahara.
I think the first time I ever saw you was on our website. You put your pics on our forums, making one of the most viewed posts, ever. What made you decide to do it?
I love Import Tuner and I thought to myself, 'you never know, maybe they will decide to shoot you for the cover and give you a call.' But then I didn't hear from you guys! [laughs] But hey, here I am, two years later-thanks to you!
And thanks to SpoCom. How did you get into modeling?
Honestly, modeling found me. I never had the confidence to model, so I never really gave it much thought. I actually wanted to be an actress, and growing up, I performed in a lot of school plays. When I was 16, I met a photographer who said that I had a lot of potential. I had my first photoshoot and it was so much fun. From there, modeling just sort of took off and I never stopped.
How did the import scene come about?
I've always loved import cars so I'd just go to car shows. I was at an HIN show in Arizona, and one of the model coordinators offered me a position as one of the HIN tour models. I was so excited! I got to travel with the crew to almost every city in the U.S. and I even took the title of Miss HIN North Carolina!
What's your favorite part of a car show?
I've been to so many shows and they're all fun! What is there not to like-hot cars and hot models!
Have you done any modeling outside of our scene?
I've done lots of fun stuff! I was in the Gym Class Heroes music video Cookie Jar and I'm doing runway for Ed Hardy, to name a few. I'm also in an upcoming film starring Luke Wilson.
You have an uber-exotic look, what ethnicity are you?
I'm 100-percent Persian, baby!
I have a burning Persian-related question: flying carpets, where the hell did that come from?
You know, I'm not even sure . . . but I don't even think that's Persian. That's more Arabic, like Aladdin.
OK, another Persian-related question: I love hummus. Especially with pita bread. What the hell is it made out of?
Yummy! I love that stuff too, but I honestly don't know what it's made of. Maybe cream cheese? Butter? Or yogurt? Hmm, you got me thinking now . . .
Can you cook?
Hell yeah!
Like what?
Eggs. I love eggs!
Dude. Eggs is so not cooking. Omelets maybe. Did you grow up in the States?
Kind of, I've lived here for the past 10 years. I grew up in Moscow, Russia before.
What did your parents do over in Russia and why did they decide to move here to the good ol' US of A?
My dad is a musician and my mom was an actress. One of the main reasons for the move was because my mom was sick. She needed heart surgery so we moved to the U.S.
Can you speak Russian?
Yep.
Funny, that's the same one I use in the U.S. Glad to see globalization has permeated the dating scene. How awkward was it growing up in Arizona as a Persian F.O.B. that could only speak Russian?
I had a really hard time at first because I didn't speak any English, and since I didn't know anyone, it took some time to make friends. But I eventually did and that's what America is all about. They accept you and treat you equally no matter what color you are! Suggested summer reading: Uncle Tom's Cabin. What was your worst lost in translation moment?
Every one of them! It sucks when you can't communicate with people! That's what body language is for! What kind of girl were you in high school?
I was in band. I played the Violin and was in theater. Are band geeks hot?
They can be! 
Besides a big trombone, what do you look for in a guy?
Someone who's loyal, honest, caring, makes me feel special and can appreciate me. A guy also has to take good care of himself. And I hate liars! What's a game killer?
Don't talk too much about yourself. Confidence is very important and when someone doesn't have it, it's a turn-off. I think everyone is gorgeous in their own way so there shouldn't be a reason not to be confident. Is what a dude drives important?
No, not to me. Don't lie!
[laughs] Well, don't get me wrong, I love a nice car, but a car is just a car. It comes and goes just like money and all the other material things. It's the quality of the person that matters to me. What do you drive?
I have a BMW 525i. [laughs] That's why you don't care about a nice ride-you have your own! Another Persian-related question: Why do 85-percent of the Persian population seemingly all drive Bimmers?
I guess we all have similar taste in cars! Something in the hummus? [laughs] What type of music would we find you rocking out to in your car?
I love hip-hop, R&B and pop so I have J. Holiday, Beyonce, and 2Pac. But I also like to mix it up and I listen to the radio all the time. 
Have any hobbies?
I'm a very athletic person so I love to work out. I like hiking, riding my bike, dancing and singing in the shower! [laughs] But when I'm hanging out, my favorite thing to do is order a pizza and watch a basketball or football game. I love sports and I never miss a game during the season. So tell us something that you've never told anyone...
I sleep naked. Shhh, don't tell. I promise. Not a word. Lastly, let's end with one last Persian-related question: Genie in a bottle gives you three wishes, what would they be?
Well now that I have my Import Tuner cover: the cover of Maxim, a flying carpet, and to find out what's in hummus. Bahara Golestani

Thanks:
All of my fans for always believing in me and for all of their support. My parents for all their hard work raising me, Robert Valentino, Carter Jung, Mike, Day Photography, Princess and Anthony.
Did you ever get into trouble?
Actually, the most trouble I ever got in school was back in the sixth grade. I used to be a rebellious little girl. I dyed my hair green and I got suspended from school for doing so. My principal yelled: "Don't come back until you've dyed your hair back to black." Taiwanese people can be so close-minded.
Is your rebelliousness what got you into modeling for our scene?
I guess you could say that. I went to my first HIN when was 15 in Hawaii. It was crazy! I met the Myspace guy, Tom. He loves Asian girls.
Is that where you got your 'break' into modeling?
Not really. I was wandering the show and a lot of photographers gave me their cards and asked if I would like to shoot with them sometimes, but I was more focused on learning how to swim in Hawaii, so I didn't pursue modeling then.
Where did you move after Santa Barbara?
I moved to New York City last September to attend NYU.
From boarding school to the Big Apple . . . how do you like the East Coast?
I hated New York at first tremendously. The weather here is disgusting! Well, considering I lived in Taiwan, Queensland, Hawaii, and California I was a bit spoiled with great climates. Before I moved to NYC, I never saw snow. I remember I got scared when the city turned white.
If you had to pick, where would you want to settle down?
California! It is the perfect place for human beings! California's got perfect weather, beautiful beaches, amazing food from all over the world, and everything else you need in life. Growing up there and also having traveled a lot, I'm sure you would agree with me, Carter.
Agreed! So do you still enjoy traveling?
Absolutely.
If I was a travel genie and could grant you a wish, where would you go?
I would want to go to Tel Aviv, Israel, and Beirut, Lebanon. I would have to go to Lebanon first, then Israel. I heard Lebanon won't let you in the country if you have an Israeli stamp on it, but not vice-versa. I am not very familiar with Middle Eastern culture, and would love to learn more about it.
Middle East? Not my first guess, but it's very open minded of you. What about China? I've been meaning to go-any recommendations?
It's great. I used to travel all over China with my dad. Go to Beijing if you are into rich history and culture. Go to Sichuan if you are into beautiful scenery and pandas. Go to Shanghai if you are into being pushed around by smelly people. Yuck!
Shanghai it is! Other than rude and stinky people, what do you look for in a guy?
I like guys with big eyebrows. You know, thick, bushy ones . . . I think it's sexy.
Word? Are you into body hair, too?
[laughter] Sure, why not? Body hair can be sexy, too.
Gag. Shifting away from man-hair, what type of food do you like?
Man-hair to food? Worse. Transition. Ever. [laughter] I love sushi! I can eat sushi for the rest of my life. Olives, truffles, and blue cheese, are also some of my faves.
Ugh! Blue cheese? That makes the top three list of my least favorite things on this planet. How is it you can't stand stinky people but you like cheese that smells like toe jam?
[laughs] Stinky people can take a shower. But blue cheese can't help itself.
Some stinky people can't help themselves, either. It can be hormonal, cultural . . . nevermind. Enough about B.O. Can you cook?
Yes and no. I make a lot of sushi. It's the one thing I know to how to make. I roll sushi for friends and myself all the time! But cooking . . . does cereal count?
If it doesn't involve blue cheese, why not? Have you been to Japan?
Many times! The sushi there is the best. Period. But I don't like Japanese guys.
[laughs] And why is that?
They're too skinny and too feminine. I can't date a guy with pants skinnier than mine. Plus, some of them don't even have any eyebrows! Which is why you ought to stick with Koreans! [laughter] Have any hidden skills?
I deal poker. I was trained to deal professionally and everything. Was this for a job or something you enjoyed?
I really like poker, especially Texas Hold 'em. It's an endurance game. It teaches you about human nature. It's exciting watching people go through decisions and dilemmas at the table. You talked about water activities before, but are there any other sports you play?
I like tennis, ping pong, and badminton. Ping pong and badminton? Spoken like a true Asian. [laughter]. On the subject of stereotypes, you mentioned something spectacularly rare for an Asian doing the shoot that I would like to reiterate. For the record, what size are your, um, assets?
Assets? Is that what Americans call them? [laughter] For the record, I am a 32D. And, again, for records-sakes, are they real?
Yes, they are real. I don't know what happened to me. All the girls in my family have small breasts, but my boobs grew like there was no tomorrow.

Comme des Garcons
We were going to use a couple of these skirts as a Wear or Die, but then we thought twice, for surely to Gaga, everyone reading this would choose death over one of these skirts? Surely? Or is that just wishful thinking on our part?
If you wish, then, you can feel free to tell us which of the items on this page you’d wear, assuming that you had to wear one or die. Or you can just sit back, relax, and marvel at the fact that fashion designers actually think we’d be likely to pay hundreds of pounds for petticoats…
Comme des Garcons: repeat offence
See, this is a petticoat, isn’t it? HAS to be. No would would wear it as it’s shown on the model, with nothing but a white bodysuit underneath it. And yet, the £195 original price somehow begs to differ on the “petticoat” assessment. WHY?
Angeloz Frentzos
This now: this is MUCH classier. Because flashing ALL of your kickers would just be trashy, you know? Flashing just one half of them, on the other hand? That’s just fine.
(It’s cut on the opposite diagonal at the back, by the way, so you get to feel the breeze on both halves of your nether regions.)
Cunning!
Wait, though! What’s this?
Maria Calderara
Why, it’s an illusion skirt! We can’t believe this is actually catching on! (No, actually we can. Any time we think we can’t believe something is being worn, we remind ourselves of the popularity of Crocs. There’s nowt as strange as folk, is there?)
Comme des Fashion Criminals
Now we know this one isn’t a petticoat, because it has pockets. And we know it has pockets because we can see the insides of them through the sheer fabric of the skirt. Isn’t that… nice?
Jean Paul Gaultier
This one was so bad they couldn’t even find a model willing to wear it. We can’t say we’re surprised: it looks like something the Flintstones might have worn during that one season in the stone age when lace was all the rage. If you kind of half close your eyes, it even looks like those cut-outs are shaped like clubs, and bones and stuff. Clever.
Voyage (to the Fashion Police jail)
There’s so much to say about this one that we don’t even think it needs to BE said. If only it could be un-seen so easily!
And there you have it. Which is the worst? Which is the best? Who knows. What we do know is that each of these offenders was apprehended at Yoox.com, and that there’s plenty more where this little lot came from. If you want to, you can go forth and buy them by clicking here.
Which do you think is the worst, though, the overlord of the sheer skirt movement? If we can get to that one, maybe we can bring the rest down with it…
