The SI swimsuit model transforms from impossibly lovely to inaccessibly exquisite as we write part of a Stephen King story on her naked body — and offers some tricks for looking sexy in photos along the way.
There are certain words that charmingly betray her, words that remind you she's not from Connecticut or Orange County. Those words are hand, comfortable, magical, and cleavage, which sound like haynd, cumftabul, majkle, and clivvage. Judging by the frequency with which they're invoked, these are some of her favorite words. And the way her slight Israeli accent affects them only highlights her California-girl face. Bar Refaeli — twenty-four, Sports Illustrated swimsuit-issue cover model, de facto Israeli ambassador to the world, living canvas (see cover) — is a fascinating hybrid. But somehow a perfectly natural one. She is sitting on a bench on a veranda outside a photo studio along the Hudson River in New York City. She's wearing a baggy plaid shirt, black tights. Her hair is in a ponytail. And as she speaks, the wind off the river carries away the smoke from her cigarette. She talks about Israeli women: "It's the mentality. Israel is so small, and we struggle just to stay alive. Israeli girls are a little more — I'm not comparing — but we're very confident. We like to have fun. We're very free. It shows in our character, and it goes in the camera."
