Move over, Sports Illustrated. Your swimsuit-clad beauties are getting some competition.

The swimwear edition of People magazine’s Spanish-language offshoot, People en Espanol, will hit newsstands Monday, featuring cover girl Daisy Fuentes in a pink polka-dot bikini.

Fuentes, who was born in Cuba and grew up in Spain and New Jersey, offers health and beauty tips in the magazine.

“It’s not that easy to stay thin, I wish it were,” says the 36-year-old actress-model. “It’s hard work because I like to eat and I like to enjoy life, so I have to find the balance between eating healthy and working out and still be able to have a good time.”

Other photos will feature Brazilian singer Alexandre Pires, Mexican actress Edith Gonzalez, Puerto Rican singer Gisselle, Argentinean TV host Candela Ferro, Venezuelan actor Jorge Aravena and Cuban TV personality Pedro Moreno.

But that won’t be the only swimsuit issue out in the next week. National Geographic’s chronicle of the history of the bathing suit over the last 100 years is set for release Saturday.
