The SI Swimsuit issue is nothing more than a brilliant marketing initiative to keep (newsstand) sales up during a dead period in sports. The models are the highest paid super models in the world who fight for the opportunity to be in the pages of this issue.
That being said - it\'s completely a personal house-by-house issue. One person\'s objectification is another\'s daily life.
It\'s not all about financial priorities. This is one of those gifts that gets used everyday. And everyday she uses it, she\'s going to remember how wonderful you are. And, everyday she remembers how wonderful you are is another day where you might just get some. Don\'t get her that bag? Well, there\'s sometimes a different kind of hell to pay, which is far more expensive than a few Benjamins (not that I\'d know anything about that).
