From an aesthetic point of view, the only thing models Chery Tiegs and Chrissy Teigen share is that they're both, well, aesthetically-pleasing. But as far as I'm concerned this Swimstar of the past and Swimstar of the present will forever be inextricably linked in my mind for their similar names. Inspired by this (pretty much baseless) association, I scoured the archives for images that would take my argument one step further and was pleasantly surprised by the results.
