On Route 66 with Pendleton and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue


Get your kicks…

You’ve probably bought yours, and you probably didn’t buy it to look at the blankets, but we are pleased as can be to be featured in the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Here’s a fun little movie that gives you a look behind the scenes: Behind the Tanlines

Seriously, the movie fun to watch. It captures the reactions of locals as a bunch of bikini-clad beauties breeze into the small towns along Route 66. Between their sessions of stretching, pouting and posing, the models are a sweet and somewhat goofy bunch of women. Here’s a fetching still of Ariel Meredith to get you interested.

Yes, the photos were taken along Route 66, so our Americana design, Brave Star, was a perfect choice.

Sara Sampaio posed with the blanket, as well, and in the magazine you can see it with Ashley Smith.

Our Serape makes an appearance in the foothills with the natural beauty of Jessica Gomes.

Chimayo

Our Chimayo throw blends perfectly with the landscape, letting Nina Agdal’s beauty shine. It’s shown in Agave Stripe, and our photo below is the Coral version.

And of course, there’s the stunning Robyn Lawley with the Bright River blanket.

We also sent along a Route 66 blanket, but that doesn’t seem to have made its way in.

The magazine has other shots, equally as beautiful but risque enough that we are going to let you pick it up on your own to see them. Certainly these photos are gorgeous enough!
