rivercityvibe’s springboard effect…..

Not two weeks ago, we had the lovely Bar Refaeli featured on this very website, under “Something for the Weekend“. Now look at her! Front cover of Sports Illustrated‘s 2009 Swimsuit Issue!

Tastefully done.

Tastefully done.

Apparently, however, we are not the only ones involved in giving this young lady’s career a boost. Her boyfriend, who goes by the made-up Shakespearian name of Leonardo DiCaprio, has also been exerting his sinister influence. Radaronline tells us:

Rumor is Refaeli’s honey, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, had something to do with her getting the yearly top honor. The claim is that DiCaprio pushed for Refaeli to tick off former girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen.

Why do they write like that, by the way? It’s like baby talk. Though they redeem themselves by going on to coo, amusingly:

But how she got there hardly matters. The pictures of Refaeli are every man’s fantasy and every woman’s refrigerator diet aid.

And a reminder to wax.
