Please enjoy this photo of Tyra Banks and Billy the Marlin modeling Banks' new magazine cover
This week, Tyra Banks came out of retirement to unveil this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, which features her on the cover:
This is for everybody that has been told that they are not good enough because of their body, their age, their everything. #BanX is here to tell you that you ARE friggin’ fierce no matter what anybody says!

Naturally, then, she spent part of her Friday with the Marlins' mascot, Billy, which is definitely a sentence you thought you'd read prior to clicking on this page, right? Well, here it is:

Is Billy the actual Next Top Mascot? That's not even technically a thing ... but maybe it should be. If it happens, maybe Tyra will have some time to host ...
If you were curious, as I definitely was, how this pairing of Tyra Banks and Billy the Marlin came into existence, it has to do with the SI Swimsuit On Location event happening in Miami this weekend.
