Wow! I can't wait to pick it up! Chris, you must have seen that every shot was exactly as you wanted it. Everyone was stunning but I'm especially taken with Nicole and Erin. Amazing!

It came out almost exactly how we planned, you can even tell from the video as we set up each shot. Especially the cover and the opener (though there were options for both as you'll see form day 2)

All in all, we're very happy with the results, and it was the fastest shoot to issue we have ever done...we worked on the layout 2 days after the shoot, and it was printed 3 weeks later.

Feels like we were just there

All the girls were awesome this year, and everyone got along great!

Hey Chris - I watched the videos online last night (haven't gotten the magazine yet, think hubby needs to renew his subscription) - can you tell me who provided the bathing suits, or where you got them from?

Thanks!

The hotly anticipated Flex Magazine annual Swimsuit issue is just hitting the newsstands this week and with a brand new look and feel the vision of Flex’s new editor in chief Allan Donnelly, this one promises to be one of their best. The first half of the show we have Nicole Wilkins, one of the cover models just after her big win in Orlando. The second half belongs to Allan Donnelly as he takes us behind the scenes of the shoot as well as the entire process of putting it together from start to finish.Thanks to www.bodysport.com (http://www.bodysport.com/)

The FLEX Swimsuit issue puts the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue to shame. It's unfortunate that the FLEX Swimsuit issue doesn't get nearly the attention of the grossly overrated SISI, because imho, it more than deserves it.

I sincerely meant every word, Scribbler.:respect::D. I have seen a great many "swimsuit issues" in many magazines-I'll get the spelling correct here-but FLEX annually is the best out there. It deserves FAR more attention than it gets.

Chris,

Ever thought about a FLEX Swimsuit calendar?

That would be HOT. Maybe donate some of sales of the calendar to something worthy.
