This year's swimsuit issue sent our crew to the top of Austin - literally.
We've been fortunate to shoot at the Austonian before (for our February
and June 2010 issues), but this time around we got the grand tour of
Austin's tallest building. As you'll see, the views are breathtaking
all around - from the gorgeous models to Austin's scenic panorama.
Without question, the Austonian proved to be the perfect backdrop for
the scintillating swimsuits we're featuring this month. So sit back,
relax and treat your eyes to this year's picks... and get excited for summer!

We love our annual swimsuit issue, and every year we put enormous effort into
getting it just right. But as fun as a feature like this can be, it's admittedly
been missing one critical ingredient: your input. So this year, for the first
time ever, we're proud to present our AFM swimsuit contest, featuring regular
Austinites who have killer bikini bodies to boot. based solely on your nominations
and votes, these three individuals show how fit and sexy this city really is...
not to mention that the start of summer is upon us. If you happened to follow
the competition, then you know how close this race actually was.* And we think
this year's winners give our professional models a real run for their money.
Judge for yourself!
This year's winners - Lene Lay, Eli Oldham and Cile Cook
