Bar Refaeli On Yet Another Magazine Cover

In the latest stop of her pageantry tour as Maxim’s #1 “Top 100” girl, Bar Refaeli appears in a tiny black bikini on the cover of the magazine’s September issue, which also features a racy photo spread and interview for readers hungry to learn more about the Israeli supermodel. And boy, are they hungry! A People magazine guide advises mortals on how to successfully ask her out; the Global Grind exclaims “Holy abs!” and frat boys everywhere thank their good fortune.
In the interview for the September issue, Refaeli lays out her likes — (“a nice smile with beautiful teeth”), dislikes (“when guys act too cool for school,”), obsessions (Twitter, among others) and best asset—“My stomach is hard, and I’m very proud of it.”
Rumors about the former DiCaprio girl’s love life have linked her to Shaun White, with whom she’s been hanging out at the London Olympics (and posing for photos to be posted on Twitter).
Refaeli said she’s going to be proud of the #100 hottie title until she “dies” and that it’s “an honor you never want to forget.” In the future, she plans to walk around and tell people, “Hey, I’m Bar Refaeli. I was No. 1 Most Beautiful in Maxim!”
That is, if the abs don’t speak for themselves.
The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
