Kate Upton: Esquire's Woman of Summer 2011!

Kate Upton shows off her curves for Esquire, which recently named her the Woman of Summer 2011!

Here’s what the 19-year-old Sports Illustrated swimsuit model had to share with the mag:

On her assets: “I don’t really know what the appeal is about … boobs. But I do know that when I was in junior high, I used to be made fun of – for being flat-chested. Everyone would go, ‘She’s not pretty! She doesn’t have boobs!’ So I always had boob envy. And when finally I went through my growth spurt, and they appeared, and I just … I loved them. So that’s why I like boobs, because I didn’t have them, and then I got ‘em.”

On whether it’s impossible to date a model: “No, I don’t think it’s impossible. You don’t sit there and go like, ‘I’m only gonna date this kind of person.’ At least I don’t. I guess I can’t talk for everyone else. You just want someone to have fun with and who understands your busy schedule and is nice. You know, just like any normal girl asks for. I like to think I have a normal wish list.”

On her favorite two-pieces: “I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take – they think I’m naked on the beach. [Laughs a sinister laugh.] So if you see someone in a nude bikini that’s extremely tiny, it’s probably me.”
