73 SUCCESS

It's hard to argue that Kate Upton didn't pick the perfect industry to make the most of her assets. Often compared to a younger and slimmer version of Anna Nicole Smith -- who also became a model through her work with Guess -- Upton has already joined the ranks of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue elite, which has served as a springboard for the likes of Heidi Klum, Marisa Miller andBrooklyn Decker.

Coming to the Sports Illustrated scene by way of clothing brands Garage and Guess, Beach Bunny Swimwear and Jenna Leigh lingerie, Kate Upton -- like her recent growth spurt -- has achieved a fast climb through the modeling ranks. While she admits to finding the 10-hour plus work days fatiguing, she’s living out every young model’s dream by hosting MTV at her apartment, making jokes for David Letterman and hopping on planes regularly for international photo shoots.

Why we love Kate Upton

If we had to sum up Kate Upton in just one word, it’d probably just be “wow”. That’s right, “wow”. Just "wow". Why? Kate Upton’s got the lot, hasn’t she? As a general rule of thumb, you have to if you’re deemed hot enough to be able to count Guess, Beach Bunny swimwear and Victoria’s Secret among your employers. Kate Upton’s glorious journey from child horse rider (as in, she was a child when she rode horses all the time – we didn’t mean child horses, we know that they’re called ponies, obviously) to ethereal modeling angel of our dreams began when she was just 12. Thankfully, she remembered to do so – and on attending an open casting call in 2008, Kate Upton was snapped up on the spot. God bless the legal system.

Kate Upton: still wearing bikinis, still hot

Oh, hey Kate Upton. Glad to see you're sticking with what works, what with wearing bikinis and everything. We'd hate to see you branch out.

That's a lie. We love Kate Upton, and we'd love to see her try different things because as fascinating as seeing her in a range of Beach Bunny bikinis might be, it's getting difficult come up with new things to say about it.

Kate Upton Can’t Hide Her Perfect Breasts

In case you haven’t noticed, Kate Upton is one of the hottest supermodels on the planet right now. Alright so I don’t think she’s really considered a supermodel, she’s far too chunky for that, but she’s clearly one of the hottest bikini models on the planet right now. Why the fashion industry is so against chicks with massive breasts is beyond me. Anyhow, here she is in some hot shots for something called Skullcandy clothing. I don’t know what that is either, but those breasts are awesome.
