Among the beautiful ladies making a splash is Shreveport, Louisiana native Ariel Meredith.

Shreveport-born model, Ariel Meredith is a Huntington High School graduate and was also featured in the magazine’s 2009 edition. She is one of 18 models chosen for the coveted collectible.

The magazine’s tablet edition features two hours of video, showing all the frolicking in the sun that goes on in these shoots.
