Sports Illustrated has the resources to shoot their 2012 Swimsuit issue anywhere in the world. So where have they decided to shoot... wait for it... the Gulf Coast.
The Florida panhandle of the Sunshine State gets a chance to shine - expect locale shots. Though the editors have not said it, it appears they are trying to spotlight the area since the much publicized oil spill that occurred a few summers ago.
