Talk about freaking your buns off!

During her sexy photo shoots for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, supermodel Kate Upton suffered severe frostbite!  During an interview with TODAY, the curvaceous 20-year-old revealed,

When I came back, I [temporarily lost my] hearing and eyesight… Because my body was shutting down — working so hard to keep me warm.

So how did the now two-time SI cover girl keep herself going during the long, frigid days of shooting?

The penguins kept me going! They’re adorable. Anytime I was like, ‘I can’t do it anymore, I can’t do it!’ I would look at them and I was like. Okay, for them . . .

Yeah, makes total sense.  Whenever we’re in a near freezing-to-death situation cuddly animals always get us through!  Wait, no.  That’s not right.  OH!  Switch out the word “animals” for “clothes”.  Clothes!
