S.I. Swimsuit Edition: Russell's Mash Up (PHOTOS)

Even though I recently moved to L.A. for the movie business, I'm still deep in the fashion industry. When I'm in New York, I spend a lot of my time on 7th Avenue where my offices have been for years.

As many of you know, I have dated mostly models in my adult life. It's no secret I'm attracted to tall, beautiful women. But, I like to say I live a "color blind life." I have been scrutinized in the past for it, but my experiences go across all races and ethnicities. I believe they are all equally beautiful.

Working in the fashion industry, sometimes I wonder, why is it so devoid of color? Don't they know how beautiful diversity can be?

When I saw the Sports Illustrated list of women this year, I thought it needed a re-mix.  Here's a list that I believe is far more inspiring than the current list that is on the newstands...
