Hmm…I guess it may be true.

I was under the impression the SI brand sold years ago and it’s not the magazine we all fondly remember.

That’s because all of us are old and remember days before the internet. That SI swimsuit issue was a very big deal to young teenagers everywhere. Lol

When I was a kid, I loved that section in the back of the magazine that had the “Faces in the Crowd” segment.

That was the one I can never erase from memory. Hid in the living room corner behind the big chair and stared in awe.
