Swimsuit Model Audition
The great sports photographer Walter Iooss — who has shot more than his share of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issues — once said that "with models like these, you can't go wrong." Here's a chance to test his theory. As a clever promotional gimmick, Taco Bell has set up a virtual swimsuit model website called directdaniella.com. The model, Daniella (left) is a gorgeous (but not always cooperative) woman who will pose in a setting of your choice, and you can test your ability to capture her moves. For comparison's sake, the home page links to SI's swimsuit website as well. Happy shooting. — Jack Crager



As a "clever promotional gimmick," Taco Bell has certainly turned the generic model spokesperson into an interactive adventure- a fascinating campaign. what's disturbing about it is that not only are they relying on an attractive woman to hypothetically fuel their sales (ok, many if not most large corporations are guilty of this) but they're actually making her into a scantily-clad feminine TARGET. ew, Taco Bell.

I could have sworn I've seen Daniella in a porno before.
