When I first saw Jessica Hart in the 2009 swimsuit issue, I remember being charmed by the gap in her teeth. “Cool!” I thought. “A cute little imperfection, not unlike Cindy Crawford’s mole, that makes her look unique.”
But I have to admit, the gap got distracting. Jessica was all in white for her shoot in Mexico that year. When her gap was not visible, she was gorgeous.
She had a smokiness that was kind of surprising, given her spun-sugar blondeness.But when the gap was clearly visible, it almost acted as a magnet for the eyes, pulling me away from otherwise gorgeous shots.
Make no mistake, she’s a beautiful woman. And focusing on the gap feels kind of superficial. But, we are talking about swimsuit models, so a little superficiality is a given.For the record, here are a couple of non-SI bikini shots of her in which her gap is showing, but I don’t find it intrusive.
This may be a rare occasion in which I like non-SI shots of a model better than the ones from the swimsuit issue.TRIVIA: Jessica Hart has a hot blonde Aussie model sister. Mind: blown.
