Samantha Hoopes repeatedly posts some incredibly revealing photos on Instagram, and it seems the tactic might be boosting the rising model’s career.
The 24-year-old model first appeared in the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” 50th anniversary edition, and her success grew overnight from there.
A year later she was voted into the top 20 of Maxim’s annual “Hot 100” list and made the face of Guess. She also has landed a role on MTV’s show “Guy Code.” (RELATED: Sports Illustrated Model Defends Right To Wear Skimpy Clothing: ‘If You’ve Got It, Flaunt It’)
“Modeling’s really hard to get your feet off the ground and kind of discouraging at times, so I quit for a long time,” Hoopes once said during an interview.
“And then I realized it was such a big part of my life and something I missed doing. My parents supported me and helped me get to California to start pursuing my dream.”
“I never thought I could actually become a model and make a living at it. I always thought I would end up being a housewife. I was going to school to be a gym teacher for a little bit.”
“This is just incredible.” (SLIDESHOW: Samantha Hoopes’s 9 Sexiest Moments)
