Christie Brinkley, 63, is Back for the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swim Edition

Sports Illustrated Swim Edition, 1981

While most women are looking forward to Valentine’s Day this February 14th, a lot of men are more excited for the 15th, and it’s not for the half-off boxes of chocolates.

The Swim edition of Sports Illustrated is hitting stands that way and making huge waves with some of this year’s featured models. You can catch Chrissy Teigen in a bikini less than a year after having her daughter Luna, which is impressive enough, but you can also catch 63 year-old Christie Brinkley rockin’ some swimwear and looking hotter than you.

Brinkley didn’t show up on set alone. Her page in the swim edition also features her two daughters, Alexa Ray Joel, 31 and Sailor Brinkley Cook, 18. I don’t know what’s hotter, the beach or three Brinkley women in one photo.

Brinkley says this will be the last time you see her modeling in her swimsuit, but she also said that when she turned 30 years old. Clearly time has forgotten about her, she will look better in a bikini at 80 than most of us will in our lifetime. LONG LIVE CHRISTIE BRINKLEY.

She is a global icon and more than a pretty face. Here are some fun facts about the never-aging goddess that is Christie Brinkley.

She was born in Monroe, Michigan February 2nd, 1954.
She set a record in 1981 for snagging three consecutive years on the cover of the Sport Illustrated Swim Edition.
She’s been a vegetarian since she was 13 years old.
She survived a helicopter crash in 1984 while on a ski trip in Colorado
She married one of the survivors, Rick Taubman, just months after the accident and they had one son together, Jack Paris Brinkley Cook.
She wrote a book that we will all now be buying called, “Christie Brinkley’s Outdoor Beauty and Fitness Book.” Click HERE to buy it.
Skiing isn’t lucky for her. On a different trip she was nearly paralyzed/almost lost a leg from a skiing accident and had to be operated on immediately in 2007.
Christie doesn’t believe in calorie restrictions. Bless her.
Everyone told her to stop modeling after she turned 30. I’m just going to post this 2017 Sport Illustrated photo…

She has her own skincare line because she was tired of answering questions about her complexion AND it’s only $39.99 for the set. Buy that HERE.
She’s appeared on over 500 magazine covers spanning 6 continents and 60 countries.
She was a minor, and hilarious, role in Parks and Recreation as Gayle, (Jerry’s wife.)
