So how do you get this job, out of all the other models out there?
They asked to see me. I don’t know how they…they must have seen me somewhere. I’ve been around for a while. So they asked to see me. I went in and met everybody in the office and we really made a connection. They’re such sweet people. I was just estatic. It’s really a huge honor for a model, because they’re not just featuring you, it’s your personality. It’s the whole package. That’s what they’re looking for. I don’t know! I got lucky, I guess.
I read that you’re one of the few supermodels that will actually do nude shoots.
I…well…yeah. I’m comfortable with myself and my body. And I’m not doing anything…anything that I’m uncomfortable with. It’s always very tasteful, and it’s really about the art. I’m really into photography. I love it, and some of my favorite photographers take really amazing nude pictures. And it really comes down to the art. It’s not really provocative or anything like that. It’s just beauty…on it’s own. But that’s all it is. For me, it’s about art, and I’ll only put myself in that position if I’m 100 percent comfortable, and I trust the photographer and I trust the situation, but I can be really comfortable if I know the pictures are going to be beautiful. I’m not afraid to say that.
I wasn’t trying to imply that you should have been. But as you become more well-known, as you surely will be after this issue, do you see yourself doing more nude work later? Or maybe pull a Brooklyn and try a couple movies? You’re based in LA, after all.
I am! The acting is kinda in my blood. I would love to dabble in different things. I’ve done a few commercials and a few small roles so…I don’t know. I think it’d be fun to just experiment and see where it takes me, but I’m really happy with where I am, and really happy to be working with Sports Illustrated.

Anyone else start day dreaming about her and Brooklyn Decker making out after they read, “I love her so much. I have a girl crush on Brooklyn.”
Great interview Josh, I’m guessing this is one of the high lights of your blogging career.
The difference in pictures between this post and the last may have just saved my sight.
@Burnsy, from the lowest of the lows to the highest of the highs.
Alyssa Miller was in Las Vegas doing press for the SI Swimsuit Issue when I caught up with her yesterday afternoon.
By “caught up with her” I assume you mean “cornered her awkwardly.”
@Burnsy, what a coincidence. After viewing these pictures, I’ll most certainly lose my sight.
It’s a wank joke.
@fant – a wise man once said, “if you’re going blind, you’re doing it right.”
I liked the part where he made her uncomfortable asking about nudity and then tried to put her at ease by continuing to ask about nudity. I admit, my strategy of screaming “GET NUDE DAMNIT!!” followed by humping her leg probably would’ve been less subtle.
Huh. I didn’t even have to click to embiggen.
Giggity, Giggity.
@0tarin: I loved the part where she was afraid to talk about it, and then said she wasn’t afraid to talk about it. Awesome.
@Upstate Underdog; I believe that only happens after the slow motion pillow fight at the sleep-over, with the air conditioning broken, on a VERY hot night…….
Hey, what’s on cable? I’m tired now.
You bloggers get all the women.
Who knew guys on the computer all day had mad chick skillz. She could use a touch more junk in the trunk.
“Here sweetie, have some more lasagna”
“We’ll burn off the calories later”
I’m not implying that you should go nude, but later on you should go nude.
I’m nude.
Oh, sorry, mistook what you meant.
