Bar Refaeli on the cover of Esquire magazine July issue naked and painted with the magazine’s contents scrawled across her body and with a new Stephen King short story teased on her arms. It just tells us that sexiness pumps up magazine sales, doesn’t it?

Refaeli, the 23-year-old, Israeli supermodel is the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl. A photo from the shoot, featuring a bikini-clad Refaeli, was also painted on the side of a Boeing 737 in a promotional deal with Southwest Airlines. Now that’s different but it has led many passengers to criticize Southwest for using an image they regarded as inappropriately sexual and “offensive to families”.

 As for her personal life, Bar is Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend.
