Biography and Career
Yesica Toscanini was born in Junin, Argentina, although her family moved to a small town called Ituzaingo when she was just 4 years old.
She never gave much thought to becoming a model until she hit puberty. When she found herself blossoming faster than anyone else in her class, she asked her father to take her to a casting call, and it was there that she hooked up with her first manager. At the tender age of 15, she signed with the prestigious Dotto Modeling Agency and began booking local gigs in Argentina.
Though she's been working steadily ever since, nobody really knew who she was outside of her native country -- until Sports Illustrated came calling. As anyone who reads the magazine surely knows, Yesica was featured quite prominently in their 2006 Swimsuit Edition. In addition to appearing in a multi-page spread, Yesica made a big dent on the online version of the magazine with bonus pictures and videos.
As for Yesica's personal life, the model recently is dating a rugby player and is hoping to have kids in the next few years. Let's just hope she gets in a few more years of scantily clad modeling before that happens.
She appeared in the 2006 and 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues. She was photographed for the cover of the Argentinian edition of Cosmopolitan and twice for magazine "Para Ti". She also appeared in the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog of 2006. In the music video for Enrique Iglesias's single "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)" she played his high school sweetheart. In 2008 she was selected as the girl for the Intimissimi Spring/Summer ad campaign.
