As noted yesterday, Bar Refaeli is the cover girl for the 2009 Si Swimsuit Issue.  As you can see, the February publishing stalwart promises another year of body paint, as well as the ultimatum of “Bikinis or Nothing,” which is just the hardline stance on womens wear that we need in this new millennium of uncertainty and occasional one-piece swimsuits.

We’ll be providing swimsuit “news” much of the day, so get used to more of this.  See her full SI.com gallery here, and be sure to read her interview.  Impossibly beautiful models — they’re just like us!

Do real guys have a shot?
All the guys I had ever dated were real, so yes, real guys have a shot.

Hear that?  All you have to do is be a real guy.  Just a regular Joe.  A regular, Oscar-nominated millionaire who stars in Martin Scorcese films.  You’re so in, dude.
