To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2003 09:30:50 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Lynn Turner In Lynn Turner's centerfold (January 1956) she's suggesting that we forget about this silly Backgammon game and get down to business. Lynn was the last Playmate to appear without a name. As such, she represents the break between the calendar stock shots and the Playmates. the kind of girl you could look up in a phone book. I was not the only one troubled when that changed for a bit with some recent Playmates. The explicitness of this centerfold places it in the fifties, but its appeal, and Lynn's appeal is timeless. Part of this has to do with the first-rate production values. There is a very nice but far from obvious color progression through the pillows as our eyes work their way from Lynn's face down to the floor. Just as subtle is the diagonal line running through the red pillow and the Backgammon board. Most of this centerfold's timelessness has to do with the wonderful look of invitation on Lynn's face. It's sweet, unassuming and the kind you can come back to time and again. A pair of legs like hers don't hurt matters either.
