Lauren Mellor, 2014 SI Swimsuit rookie, also looks really damn good in lingerie

To help you along in your decision as to who you should vote for as SI Swimsuit Rookie of the Year I thought today we’d check out some new lingerie pics of sexy South African model Lauren Mellor.

Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Lauren Mellor here. Back in 2012, I stated that she needed to be in the American version of the SI Swimsuit issue after seeing her work for the South African edition. Thankfully they listened, finally, and also thankfully the fine folks over at Lise Charmel agree with us in our assessment of how beautiful she is and hired her to model their sexy new collection. It’s like everything is just coming together for me today.
