Gretchen Bleiler: The Naked And The Shred

by The Editors on October 5, 2011

Gretchen BleilerESPN: The Magazine has posted a few teaser photos of naked athletes from their Body Issue that hits news stands on Friday, October 7, 2011. And Gretchen Bleiler is not only in the magazine, but on one of the covers as well.

“The nude thing is interesting at first. You’re like ‘Really I’m going to just take it off.’ It just gets more and more comfortable. Especially on a day like today,” Bleiler says. “It was nuking out there and I felt bad for everyone who had clothes on. I was the one who was lucky on a day like today. It’s a huge honor to be grouped in with some of the most amazing and skilled athletes in the world. Celebrating Men, women. Every different kind of body, every different kind of sport and showing that everything is beautiful in a very athletic way. I want to be strong and I want to be badass and I think we accomplished that.”

We’d have to agree. Mrs. Hotel is looking fit, especially when you flash back to her first pinup outing in FHM. Follow the jump for the video and magazine cover.

Bleiler could obviously kick some ass, but if you couldn’t see that very slight curve of her hip on the Cover shot, I might think i was looking at a picture of Andrej Pejic. http://fyeahandrejpejic.tumblr.com/

But, hey, the whole androgyny look is in right now.

I don’t think she looks good in this one. The other one is much more attractive. She doesn’t look fit, just anorexic.

dude get your own handle.
I think she looks pretty fit by the way, much better than most girl pro shreds

My knee jerk reaction is that, yes, she has a… masculine… physique. But, to echo another comment, most girls that kill it (in any sport) are also pretty rough around the edges in the looks department. All things considered she’s hot in this shoot.
