On SI.com, she's introduced as a 'curvalicious babe' who 'will become the first Polynesian woman to appear on the pages of SI Swimsuit, as she proudly embraces her culture for the world to see.'
Veronica is clearly thrilled with the honor.
'Deep down you know exactly what you’re capable of,' she wrote on Instagram. 'There’s even moments when you get a glimpse of all the potential you have and you CAN get there.
'You just have to be willing to sacrifice the habits, things, and situations that are standing in the way of your success. Sometimes the most powerful thing to be is underestimated.'
In another post, she wrote: 'Everyone knows I’m not the smallest girl, I don’t have the biggest boobs, I wouldn’t mind having a bigger a** and I have scars and stretch marks all over my body.
'My flaws have become what strengthens me the most as a model. As an underdog it’s crucial for me to highlight inner beauty qualities because for so long I didn’t feel like I measured up to society’s expectations of beauty.
Proud: 'Deep down you know exactly what you’re capable of,' she wrote on Instagram. 'There’s even moments when you get a glimpse of all the potential you have and you CAN get there'
Embracing: 'My flaws have become what strengthens me the most as a model,' she said
She went on: 'Young girls look up to us as sources of inspirations to feel more confident and empowered by being unapologetic and becoming more of their authentic selves'
Yeah! 'The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do,' she said
The model gushed: 'Thank you @mj_day and the entire team for believing in me....trust me when I say that this is only the beginning'
'In this day and age, young girls look up to us as sources of inspirations to feel more confident and empowered by being unapologetic and becoming more of their authentic selves.
'Making the final 6 for @si_swimsuit has allowed me to inspire the same girls who don’t feel like their skinny, pretty, curvy, or even skin tone worthy enough. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
'Thank you @mj_day and the entire team for believing in me....trust me when I say that this is only the beginning.'
SI Swim has been celebrating a lot of firsts lately. This year, Winnie Harlow has become the first-ever model with vitiligo to post for the magazine.
Paulina Porizkova posed for the issue at age 53, making her one of the older models to grace the issue's pages. (Meanwhile, Christie Brinkley posed for them at age of 63 in 2017.)
And it was only four years ago in 2015 that Ashley Graham became the first plus-size model to pose for the magazine, and she landed a cover just a year later.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
