Born in Michigan and raised in Melbourne, Florida, Kate Upton grew up around horses. She was attending a horse show--not as a participant, but because the event piqued her interest--at age 12 when she was Spotted by Trump Model Management. Three years later she went to Miami to become a model. She quickly gained popularity after her first appearance in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and also for utilizing social media which got her signed by Ivan Bart of IMG Models. For this skillful use of the internet she was profiled on 13 February 2012 by the NY Times the same day as her second issue of Sports Illustrated, featuring her on the cover, hit newsstands. When you've got it, flaunt it might be the best cliche to describe buxom supermodel Kate Upton. The cover girl for this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is at it again, flaunting her curves in another publication.
This time it's for a sexy, seductive photo shoot in the August issue of Contributor magazine -- which leaves little to the imagination.
This past June Kate kicked off the summer months with a sizzling bikini photo shoot for GQ magazine and just when you thought it couldn't get any hotter outtakes from her shoot were released in July; the latter of which featured several see-through wet t-shirt shots -- revealing more than just her curves.
This time around Ms. Upton is seen in various states of undress -- posed seductively while wearing a leopard-print dress in a bathtub; draped across a bed in only a thick necklace; and showing off plenty of leg while wearing the proverbial "hand-bra" in a couple of borderline-nsfw shots (both shots on page 5 of this article - click at your own risk!)
Contributor magazine is published only twice a year to keep with the seasonal fashion cycles and is only available at select US and European stores and online at Swedish website Papercutshop.se
