Swimsuit models stop Las Vegas Strip traffic

The Beatles’ iconic Abbey Road pose

The 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit models literally stopped traffic Wednesday on the Strip for a re-creation of The Beatles’ iconic Abbey Road pose. Joining them in the southbound lane in front of The Mirage was Mayor Oscar Goodman, the Ringo Starr of mayors. There was no way Goodman was going to miss this opportunity to beat the drums for Las Vegas. “We had to clear the road when a firetruck arrived,” said cover girl Brooklyn Decker, who is in her fifth year as an S.I. swimsuit model. The 18 models arrived in Las Vegas about 1:30 a.m. on a chartered jet with its nose featuring Decker in a Betty Page pinup pose. Decker, who married tennis star Andy Roddick last April, was unveiled as the cover girl Tuesday night at the issue’s launch party in New York City. She met Roddick the, ummm, old-fashioned way: “He got his rep to call my rep.” They’ll miss Valentine’s Day together. She’s going to be tied up on the swimsuit tour Sunday. He’s in San Jose, Calif., for a tennis tournament. — Las Vegas Review-Journal (Norm Clarke)
