Following U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo's naked lawn watering in ESPN The Magazine's body matter, Alex Morgan -- Hope's U.S national teammate and fellow receiver of an impressive figure of Facebook marriage proposals during previous summer's Women's World Cup -- will be one of three female athletes to pose in bodypaint for the upcoming Sports Illustrated swimsuit matter.
The issue won't be released awaiting Tuesday, February 14, but SI.com's Hot Clicks exposed the first picture of Morgan in her bodypaint bikini (right) and they also asked her a few questions about the shoot, including this bit of stupidity:
SI.com: What was further intimidating: posing in bodypaint or taking on Japan in the World Cup finals?
Morgan: I have been playing soccer my whole life. I know how to stay calm and not get too worried for games. That's why I would have to say posing in bodypaint was a little extra intimidating. It was a totally new experience and definitely took some getting used to before I felt relaxed in bodypaint. I had to look in the mirror every five minutes to make sure I in fact had a swimsuit on.
By scoring four goals in the U.S. women's Olympic qualifying run, Morgan helped make sure the team's place at the London games this summer. And, who knows, maybe the possibility to win a gold medal will prove even more intimidating than bodypaint.
