Yu Tsai/Beach Bunny Actually, make that bikini shots of the day.
Less than a week after we had the pleasure of seeing Chrissy Teigen flaunt her fabulous figure for Beach Bunny Swimwear's bridal line, along comes Irina Shayk to do the same for the popular bikini line.
And needless to say, the 27-year-old Russian model doesn't disappoint either.

Booker's Senate campaign doesn't involve opponents
COLLINGSWOOD — Cory Booker has been on an after-dark jog with supporters in Morristown, held a fundraiser featuring Oprah Winfrey, posed for pictures at a Collingswood restaurant, given a speech in Lawrenceville and tweeted about all of it.
But the ubiquitous Newark mayor has been drawing criticism from his opponents in a special U.S. Senate election for where he hasn?t been so far: campaign forums with them.
At least twice, the other three Democrats running in the Aug. 13 primary have debated without him ? including last week when he chose Winfrey over one sponsored by the NAACP.
He is scheduled to appear at debates Monday and Thursday.
Booker is the front-runner in both the Democratic primary and the Oct. 16 special general election. He?s aided by a national platform, giving 90 speeches and collecting $1.3 million in fees for them, across the country since 2008. (He?s donated nearly half the proceeds to charity). And he?s helped by a head start in the race: Booker publicly announced his interest in running for the Senate in December and started raising money for his run the next month.
But then, he was looking at a run in 2014.
Everything changed in June, when Sen. Frank Lautenberg died and Gov. Chris Christie called a special election to fill the last 15 months of his term.
Booker?s preparations quickly turned into a full-blown campaign.
While he has laid out specific policy plans, including a broad approach to curtailing childhood poverty, many of his events ? and there are many of them ? are meet-and-greets without a specific policy message, stump speech or availability for journalists who show up.
On July 29, Booker did a tour of Collingswood?s hip Haddon Avenue, making a scheduled stop at a diner and an impromptu one at a new art gallery, Galarie Marie. He learned about it during a conversation with its owner, painter and former museum administrator Kimberly Camp.
She didn?t even know Booker was due in town, but when she heard, she asked campaign staffers ? Booker?s entourage is bigger than most for a Senate campaign ? if she could host a fundraiser.
In her gallery, Booker was drawn to a painting she?d done of a relative in an Army uniform. ?That?s stunning,? he declared before talking with her about the history of black service members.
And in The Pop Shop, a colorful modern-day soda fountain and diner, Booker posed for photo after photo with admirers ? some fans tipped off that he?d be there, others just happened to be having a meal.
In a tech-savvy campaign from a Twitter star of a candidate, the photos were a small part of the strategy: The campaign suggests people post them on social-networking sites, where they can make a small campaign stop seem like a bigger one.
Overall, the race so far has been a civil one but almost all the barbs among the candidates have been aimed at Booker.
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver declared that she doesn?t have a sense of ?entitlement? to contrast herself with Booker; U.S. Rep. Rush Holt has complained that the media is paying too much attention to Booker; U.S. Rep. Frank Lautenberg has denounced Booker for missing forums.
The Republicans running have also taken digs. Alieta Eck describes Booker as mayor of ?the Detroit of New Jersey,? a reference to a city that struggles with poverty and crime. And Steve Lonegan has put out news releases and held news conferences ? including one last week outside Booker?s campaign headquarters to criticize Booker?s stances.
But when it comes to the Democrats, Booker has treaded carefully.
In a June campaign stop in Deptford, Booker promised not to run negative ads in the primary.
?The three opponents I have are all good Democrats,? he said. ?They?re really good leaders.?

Weiner aide lashed out at former campaign intern
NEW YORK — The chief aide to embattled New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner went on an expletive-laced tirade about a former campaign intern in an interview with a political news website.
Barbara Morgan later apologized for using vulgar language to describe former intern Olivia Nuzzi. She said she believed her interview with Talking Points Memo was off the record.
Talking Points says Morgan launched into her attack on Nuzzi for writing an unflattering article for the Daily News about her experience working on Weiner?s campaign.
Nuzzi wrote that Weiner often called interns ?Monica,? a reference to former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and that many people worked on the campaign to get close to Weiner?s wife, Huma Abedin. Abedin is an ex-aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Nuzzi declined to comment.

Weiner's campaign manager in NY mayoral race quits
NEW YORK — Anthony Weiner vowed to stay in the race for New York City mayor Sunday despite the loss of his campaign manager and the drumbeat of critics questioning his fitness for public office after new revelations of lewd online behavior.
Weiner confirmed that campaign manager Danny Kedem resigned Saturday after reports surfaced that Weiner had continued to exchange lewd photos and messages with women despite resigning from Congress in 2011 over the same behavior
?We have an amazing staff, but this isn?t about the people working on the campaign. It?s about the people we?re campaigning for,? Weiner said after speaking at a Brooklyn church.
Weiner said he would keep talking about ?ideas for the middle class and people struggling to make it every single day? and added, ?We knew this was going to be a tough campaign.?
Kedem had managed the re-election of John DeStefano Jr. to a 10th term as mayor of New Haven in 2011 and worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton?s failed 2008 presidential campaign.
The 31-year-old Kedem was credited with helping Weiner pull into the lead among the crowded field of Democratic primary candidates before the latest revelations about Weiner?s raunchy online exchanges with women.
Christine Quinn, who is bidding to be the city?s first female mayor, led the race before Weiner jumped in but slipped behind him in most polls over the past two months. But a one-day poll conducted after Weiner?s latest revelations has Quinn leading Weiner in the race for the Democratic nomination. The mayoral primary is Sept. 10, and the general election is Nov. 5. The primary winner needs to get at least 40 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff with the No. 2 vote-getter.
Quinn, who is speaker of the New York City Council, said on NBC television?s ?Meet the Press? that Weiner has shown ?a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth and a real lack of maturity and responsibility.?
Unlike other candidates who have urged Weiner to end his campaign, Quinn said opponents should not ?say who should or shouldn?t get in and out of races.?
But she questioned whether he is the right person to lead the city.
?Has he disqualified himself? Yes, he?s disqualified himself,? Quinn said. ?But not just because of these scandals, though that certainly has. He didn?t have the qualifications when he was in Congress.?
Later on the NBC program, David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama , accused Weiner of ?wasting time and space.? Axelrod, who noted that his former firm is working for another mayoral candidate, said Americans ?believe in second chances, but not third chances.?
On CNN?s ?State of the Union,? Republican U.S. Rep. Peter King, the target of a blistering 2010 attack from Weiner over a bill to provide free medical services for World Trade Center recovery workers, said Weiner is ?not psychologically qualified to be mayor of the city of New York.?
Weiner was forced to discuss his online behavior this past week after a gossip website printed excerpts of conversations Weiner had with Indiana college student Sydney Leathers last summer.
With his wife, Huma Abedin, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, alongside, Weiner apologized and promised that the ?behavior is behind me.? He later admitted that he had traded racy messages with at least three women since leaving office.
He vowed to stay in the race, saying he believed ?people care more about their futures than my past with my wife and my embarrassing things.?
William Eimicke, a Columbia University professor of public management who has held New York City and New York state government posts, said the defection of his campaign manager could cripple Weiner?s campaign.
?I think he?s toast!? Eimicke said in an email.
But veteran city political consultant Bob Liff discounted the effect of the resignation.
?I don?t know that the campaign manager makes that much of a difference,? Liff said. ?I wouldn?t write anybody out.?

German poster campaign to find Nazis
23 July 2013 Last updated at 22:41 GMT ![The Simon Wiesenthal Center's Efraim Zuroff stands in front of a poster reading]()
Posters displayed in Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne say "late, but not too late" A poster campaign has launched in Germany aimed at tracking down the last surviving Nazi war criminals and bringing them to justice.
Some 2,000 posters showing the entrance to the Nazi Auschwitz death camp and asking people to come forward with information have been displayed in Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne.
The US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center offers rewards for useful information.
It estimates there to be 60 people alive in Germany fit to stand trial.
Some are suspected of having served as guards at Nazi death camps or being members of death squads responsible for mass killings, particularly early on in the war.
"Unfortunately, very few people who committed the crimes had to pay for them," leading international Nazi hunter and the centre's Jerusalem branch director, Efraim Zuroff, said.
"The passage of time in no way diminishes the crimes."

Last known location: GermanyVladimir Katriuk served as platoon commander of collaborationist Ukrainian police, accused of killing innocent civilians in Belarus. Last known location: CanadaSimon Wiesenthal Center: Most Wanted
As part of its "Operation Last Chance II" project, the centre is offering rewards of up to 25,000 euros (£21,500; $33,080) for information which helps to prosecute war criminals in Germany.The centre, which is one of the largest Jewish human rights organisations, is asking for tip-offs via a hotline it has set up.
The posters depict a black and white photo of the railway tracks leading into Auschwitz and say in German: "Late, but not too late. Millions of innocents were murdered by Nazi war criminals. Some of the perpetrators are free and alive. Help us take them to court."
Auschwitz, in occupied Poland, was the biggest Nazi death camp where more than 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered.
Legal precedentThe poster campaign comes two years after the conviction of Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk for his role as a Nazi guard at the Sobibor death camp.
Demjanjuk, who died in March 2012 at the age of 91, was sentenced to five years in prison in 2011 based solely on his service in the camp.
The centre says his conviction set a precedent allowing German prosecutors to reopen hundreds of investigations and prosecute former camp guards as accessories to murder, even if there was no proof the defendants personally killed anyone.
Germans are divided between those who think war criminals should be pursued to the grave and those, often younger people, who say the crimes are remote from present-day Germany, says the BBC's Stephen Evans.
In May, a 93-year-old former Auschwitz guard was arrested in southern Germany, accused of participating in the mass murder and persecution of innocent civilians, primarily Jews, between October 1941 and 1945.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center had named Hans Lipschis as number four in its list of most-wanted Nazis.
