Jamaica just may be the modeling capital of the Caribbean. Jaw-dropping natural backdrops are everywhere, attracting the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue twice (1983 and 2007), the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders 2010 calendar shoot, and countless others over the years. The island’s sexy homegrown “talent” (see proof left) is quite an attraction in and of itself. Professional fashion shoots producing images like this one take place across the island regularly, so don’t be too surprised to see one going down while limin’ on the beach during your next Jamaica adventure. Of course, you can ensure a brush with Jamaica’s ultra-sexy side by attending the island’s annual Caribbean Fashion Week celebration, which will be held this year from June 8 to 14 in Kingston.
