April 2015: The "prettiest girl in the whole fucking world" hits Maxim's Cover;
When you've built a multimillion-dollar career out of wearing next to nothing, the question of just how much skin to reveal can come down to a few very strategic centimeters of fabric.
Full back? Yes. Microscopic bikini bottoms? Sure. Still, it's a game of inches, and something has to be left to the imagination.
For Lil Aldridge, 29, the "prettiest girl in the whole fucking world" (according to her husband, Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill) toeing that line between lust object and celebrity-power-brand-in-the-making is all part of the business plan.
Though she's been modeling since she was 14, Aldridge debuted as a Victoria's Secret model in 2009; she is now one of just eight Angels. She landed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 50th anniversary issue last year. Add her cred in high-fashion circles — shoots in Vogue and a campaign for Michael Kors — and Aldridge has won the Triple Crown of modeling.
As you might expect from any other thoroughbred, she says her contracts are ironclad, stipulating precisely how much of her extraordinary physique she'll bare. "I'm very careful about it," she says. 潲Posted by Sarah Horne Grosse

“For more than 40 years I have rambled around every state of the union and many, many countries of the world. My primary interests in life have been America, singing, songwriting, and the English language. I love the English language as much as anything in life and words really do mean something. I thought it would be interesting as I reach age 70 to release this work product on the song American Pie so that anyone who might be interested will learn that this song was not a parlor game. It was an indescribable photograph of America that I tried to capture in words and music and then was fortunate enough through the help of others to make a successful recording.”— Don McLean
