Sports Illustrated swimsuit models: PIX and VIDEO

I sooo wanted to check out the Sports Illustrated bikini models while they're here in Vegas. I just couldn't make it. So we'll all have to do with these photos and video.

I have to say, I didn't even know the SI swimwear thing was still a thing. When I was a kid, it was HUGE. But now, one click of the button takes you to YouPorn. Sooo these girls are wearing clothes?

Anyway, on Thursday, they signed autographs at Le Cabaret at Paris. (Coutesy photos from Paris.) This is Dominique Piek:

And finally, from left: Dominique, Zoe Duchesne and Esti

Here's some video of the winning cover model:

And, by the way, there was a Daily News story about a dust-up between the model who did get the cover and the model who really, really wanted to be the cover girl -- but didn't get it.

"Looks like Bar Refaeli isn't taking her loss of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover to Brooklyn Decker too well.  We hear the Israeli beauty - aka Leonardo DiCaprio's ladylove - looked anything but pleased as she arrived to the mag's party Tuesday night at the Gansevoort Hotel's club Provocateur."
