In the new reality TV show about nine professional fashion models, Model Squad, Olivia Culpo is told by her agent Nikki that Olivia is going to Los Angeles next week for a test photo shoot with Sports Illustrated. The 2012 Miss Universe squeals with delight and says she has goosebumps. “I’m so excited!” she screams. Sports Illustrated has been on goal list since she started keeping a goal list. “If they (the photo shoots) go well, you’re in the magazine,” Nikki tells Olivia. “Oh my god,” Olivia says with a big smile, “Is my butt big enough right now?!” Olivia proceeds to do squats in the kitchen. Spoiler alert: the photo shoot went extremely well. Olivia was named by Sports Illustrated as one of the Top 3 Rookies of the Year. (Alexis Ren won.)
