Kate Upton on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Talent Management has just checked out the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue featuring teen model<\/a> Kate Upton on the cover.<\/p>\n

So just how did such a young model bag such an iconic cover? Well, according to the New York Times she owes her modelling success to a dance called the \u2018Dougie\u2019.
\n
\nWhen Upton uploaded a video of herself doing the shimmy hip-hop dance, calls from modelling agents flooded in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know that social media now creates its own reality,\u201d Wayne Sterling, the publisher of Models.com, told the New York Times. \u201cIf you become a YouTube star among teenagers, you have even more recognisability than a TV star. Kate Upton is the perfect example of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though the young model\u2019s looks are a million miles from fashion\u2019s skinny model ideal, it seems Upton has still caught the eye of many industry insiders \u2013 Talent Management<\/a> included.<\/p>\n

However, while we have to admit the all-American, voluptuous teen makes an uplifting change from previous much slimmer Sports Illustrated cover models, such as Bar Rafaeli and Petra Nemcova, we can\u2019t help but criticise her barely there bikini.<\/p>\n

The team at Talent Management wants to know your thoughts – is it just us or does the lowness of her bikini bottoms make you feel that little bit uncomfortable too?<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, tiny bikini or not, we\u2019re always delighted to see curvy models prosper!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
