It’s nice when really big moments come from out of nowhere and surprise you. Like when you forget it’s payday and then BAM! you suddenly have enough money to eat more than just ramen three times a day. Or when you wake up all hungover one Monday and realize it’s a holiday and you can go back to bed. Or when you open Firefox one Tuesday morning to find out that the 2011 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT EDITION IS FINALLY HERE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY EEEEE!!!!!

That’s right guys. The only time that anyone in America actually buys a hard copy of a magazine since 1999 is upon us. Pages and pages and pages of supermodels is string bikinis (or less) is on newsstands ready to be picked up and read in the comfort of your own creepy dark bathroom.

And who graces the cover this year? None other than Russian model Irina Shayk, Cristiano Ronaldo’s WAG who we highlighted back in December when she sexed up the cover of GQ and made us want to plant a bear trap in Ronaldo’s hotel room somewhere.

This beautiful work of art goes on sale today, so hurry to pick one up today that doesn’t have sticky pages yet before they sell out.
