S.I.'s created a "Swim Search" for an amateur model to feature in their Swimsuit Issue, and announced the diverse group of finalists.
Among the 14 finalists Hillory Fields, is a real life hero of the pandemic. A traveling ICU nurse who shared her efforts through 2020 on social media, saying ... "It has all been a tragedy."
