The same couldn't be said for the Sports Illustrated swimsuitmodel Chrissy Teigen, who provided a babe factor to this otherwise entirely masculine evening.
"Here were women who are going to encourage me to get off my butt but weren't going to judge me if I didn't look like a swimsuitmodel in six months, " she said.
In my experience, the relationships between members of a platoon or a squad are much deeper than their debates about the most attractive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model.
Four women have been the cover model three times, including February 2012 FORBES cover subject Kathy Ireland, who appeared in the swimsuit issue for 13 straight years, and whose 1989 cover is still the best-selling issue to date.
